A modular lunch box 100 is disclosed, comprising a base 102 to receive containers 104 to store food articles and having one or both of heating and cooling devices; and a top lid 106 removably received on base to cover and individually seal the containers. A control module 110 is detachably received through a first aperture 112 in top lid 106 such that control module 110 rests against a step portion of containers 104 for operative coupling with heating and cooling devices to control their temperature. Without control module 110, lunch box 100 is usable as a conventional lunch box. Control module 110 includes a wireless communication module to receive user inputs to configure the lunch box for heating and/or cooling of food article at desired times, to desired temperatures. A battery pack positioned over top lid 106, gets coupled to control module 110 to meet power requirement.

An adjustable cooler mounted umbrella system, comprising an insulative container defining an internal cavity for reception of contents. The insulative container has an interior surface and an exterior surface. The exterior surface of said insulative container has at least one interface area. Each interface area defines an adjustable mount receiver with a plurality of horizontal recesses. The system includes an umbrella mounting sleeve rotatably coupled to the mount receiver. The umbrella mounting sleeve is configurable for adjustable angulation of an axis of reception of an umbrella shaft. The system includes a locking pin. The locking pin is configured to slide through an aperture in a flange formed on an external surface of the umbrella mounting sleeve and into an interior surface of a horizontal recess of the plurality of horizontal recesses, thereby securing an angulation of the umbrella mounting sleeve relative to the mount receiver.

A cooler is provided which has various improvements. The cooler may be a passive cooler or may be actively cooled for providing desirable cooling effects. The cooler may include an accessory system, for example, with bottle or can holders or a post holder which utilizes the weight of the cooler to support a sunshade. The accessory system may be positioned in various locations of the cooler, one location being in a recess which is utilized to open the cooler lid. The smart cooler may also comprise a cushion assembly which may be placed on an upper surface of the lid and may have straps to retain the cushion on the lid. The lid may be formed to accept and retain a cushion retaining feature so that the cushion does not excessively move from the top surface of the lid.
