ISO: Back to school lunch box ideas

Misc.
Hi all,
With back to school just around the corner I was wondering if you could give me some ideas for the lunch box. I have two kids going to school this year, I think packing a school lunch will be more economical. I get stuck on what to pack besides the traditional PB&J and Mac n Cheese. I need easy ideas that the kids will love, any suggestions?
