If you’re not quite back into the swing of packing your lunch, this amazing new Aldi product might get you excited for it again.

As part of their current Special Buys collection, Aldi has released a nifty electric lunchbox.

Prepare the most delicious hot food in your electric lunchbox, including hardboiled eggs!

This spaceship-shaped lunchbox comes with all sorts of gadgets so you can have restaurant-quality food from the comfort of your desk.

It has an in-built PTC heating element and has two stainless steel trays - one with 1.2 litre capacity and one with 0.35 litre capacity - so you can keep different elements of your meal separated.

Or, bring in two lunches! We’re not judging.

It has a handle for easy carrying and non-slip feet to place it on the tabletop or desk securely.

If you’re an egg fan, you’re in luck, as it comes with an egg rack and measuring cup for an on-the-go hard-boiled snack.

This lunchbox even comes with a recipe book, so you can keep your lunches healthy and varied.
