Put the tea on and grab a nice cookie, because we're going to talk about something that is close to my heart. You know me by now: I'm Ivonne, and my kitchen is the place where everything happens. Whether it's Wednesday afternoon with the grandchildren leaving flour everywhere, or that quiet Sunday morning when I try to get my pantry organized again. Lately, I was working in that infamous 'plastic drawer' – you know, the drawer we all fight with sometimes – and I came across my old, trusted Tupperware containers. I've had some for so long that they almost belong to the interior! But lately, I get the question so often: "Ivonne, what's the deal? Can I still buy Tupperware in 2026? I hear such strange stories." It made me realize there is a lot of uncertainty. That's why today I'm taking you into the world of my favorite kitchen helpers, sharing my own experiences, and explaining exactly how things stand. Because let's be honest, a kitchen without those fine containers, we can hardly imagine that, can we?
Is Tupperware still for sale?
It's a question I get almost weekly when I'm in the store or chatting with friends. "Does it still exist?" The short answer is: yes, fortunately! But it's not like it used to be. Do you remember those cozy Tupperware parties where we all sat around the table? The consultant who passionately showed you how to seal a container airtight with that famous 'burp'? Those times have changed a bit. In 2026, the way we get our things has become different, but the brand itself is still alive and kicking.
Although there has been a lot of talk in the media about the business side of the company, the products are still being made. The quality we love is still there. What I notice myself is that people sometimes panic when they read a message on Facebook that it's "stopping." But believe me, as long as there are mothers and grandmothers who want to keep their leftovers safe, there will be a demand for good material. According to the Consumers' Association, the lifespan of kitchen products is one of the most important factors for consumers, and this brand has traditionally scored very high on that.
What should you look out for in 2026?
If you want to order Tupperware now, you have to look carefully at where you do it. Because traditional sales channels (home parties) have decreased, you see many people searching online. My tip is: pay close attention to buying from a trusted address. Unfortunately, there are also many counterfeit products in circulation that look almost the same, but warp after three times in the dishwasher. And we don't want that, of course! I always say: cheap is often expensive in the long run, especially in the kitchen.
At our home, we have containers that literally last three generations. My daughter recently took over a set from me for her children's school lunch boxes. Isn't that wonderful? That you buy something that stays good for so long. So yes, you can still buy it, but you just need to know where the good spots are.
What happened in the Netherlands?
It's a bit of an emotional story for many enthusiasts. Tupperware Netherlands has weathered quite a few storms in recent years. You might have read it in the newspaper or on the internet: there were financial problems and at one point it even seemed like the plug would be pulled entirely. That hurt many people who grew up with the brand. For me, it almost felt like an old acquaintance was leaving.
What exactly happened is that the company had to reinvent itself. Today's world is no longer the world of the '70s and '80s. People have less time for extensive parties and want to be able to look online quickly and easily. As a result, the structure in the Netherlands has changed significantly. Many official distributors had to close their doors, and that caused that confusion: "Is it gone now?"
The shift to online
Because the physical side in the Netherlands has scaled down, the focus has shifted to webshops and specialized stores like mine. We have joined forces to ensure that loyal fans can still find their favorite containers. It is now 2026, and we see that the market has stabilized. The great chaos of a few years ago is over, and a clear path has now been found to get the products to people's homes.
What I always do when I get questions about availability is explain that the stock sometimes fluctuates. It used to be that everything was always directly available; now you sometimes have to wait for that one specific color or that special model. But that's also part of it, right? It makes it extra fun when you finally find that one item you've been looking for for so long for your storage boxes and organization in the pantry.
My favorite Tupperware cookie jar experiences
Oh, when I think of a Tupperware cookie jar, I immediately smell my mother's freshly baked shortbread cookies. Do you know that? That specific sound of the lid being taken off? It's a sound from my youth. At our home, there was always a round jar on the sideboard. Not in the cupboard, no, it deserved to be seen. And woe betide you if you tried to sneak a cookie out; that 'burp' always gave you away!
Now that I'm a grandmother myself, I'm continuing that tradition. When my grandchildren come over, they know exactly where the cookies are. The beauty of such a Tupperware cookie jar is that the cookies also stay really nice and crunchy. I've tried those tin jars because they looked so cute, but after two days the cookies were tough. That just doesn't happen with these containers. That's the quality I do it for.
Baking with the grandchildren
Recently, little Lucas was with me, and we baked oatmeal cookies together. He was so proud! We put them together in the large blue jar. "Grandma, will they stay yummy in here forever?" he asked with those big eyes. I laughed and said, "Well, forever is a long word, but they'll certainly stay yummy until your next visit!"
For everyone who also loves a tidy counter and fresh bakes, take a look at my collection for storage and preservation. It's not only practical, it also gives a piece of mind when you know your stock is well protected against moisture and air. And let's be honest, a filled cookie jar is the height of coziness, isn't it?
Ordering Tupperware safely from Ivonne
I understand very well that in 2026 you sometimes think three times before clicking 'order' somewhere. So much happens on the internet, and you just want your things to arrive safely. If you want to order Tupperware from me, I want you to feel just like when you're sitting at my kitchen table. No hassle, just honest advice and good service.
What I often see is that people search on large aggregate websites and then accidentally end up with a seller abroad. Then it takes weeks to arrive, and if something is wrong with the lid, you have nowhere to go. I think that's such a shame! At Ivonne's Kitchentools, I keep the lines short. I check every product myself before it goes out. Because I know how annoying it is when you open a package full of enthusiasm and it's not what you expected.
Tips for safe online shopping
- Always check if the webshop has a clear phone number or email address. I'm available for a chat or a question!
- Look at the experiences of others. Nothing is as honest as the opinion of another mother or grandmother.
- Pay attention to shipping costs and delivery times. In 2026, we don't want to wait a month for a salad spinner anymore.
- Check if the website is secure (that padlock in the address bar, you know).
My tip for you: if you're unsure about what size you need for your fridge or pantry, send me a message. I use most of the containers myself and can tell you exactly if that one cauliflower will fit or not. That's the advantage of buying Tupperware from someone who actually uses the products themselves.
Why I choose quality at home
Let's be honest: you can buy plastic containers on every street corner these days. Even the supermarket often has them on sale. So why would you still choose Tupperware? I'll tell you why I do it. It has everything to do with trust. According to the Nutrition Center, it's important to store food correctly to prevent waste and ensure safety. And that's exactly the point.
Many cheap alternatives contain substances you'd rather not have near your food, especially if you heat it in the microwave. With this brand, I know the material has been extensively tested. Moreover, the lids still seal perfectly after a hundred uses. I once bought a cheap set for a picnic, and half of the pasta salad was at the bottom of my bag. That doesn't happen to me with my trusted containers.
Sustainability is not a buzzword
We hear everywhere these days that we need to live more sustainably. According to Milieu Centraal, reducing disposable plastic is one of the best things you can do for the planet. By investing in good items that last for years, you don't have to buy something new as often. That's not only good for the earth but ultimately also for your wallet.
In our family, we almost never throw food away. If there's a leftover stew, it goes straight into a container for the next day's lunch. My husband takes it to work, or I use it as a quick meal if I've had a busy day in the store. It gives me a good feeling that I don't have to use aluminum foil or cling film every time. It's a small effort with a big result.
Your trusted kitchen helpers in 2026
We have come to the end of my story for today. I hope you now have a better picture of how things stand with Tupperware Netherlands in 2026. Yes, times have changed and the cozy parties may have become rarer, but the passion for good kitchenware has remained. For me, a house only truly feels like a home when the kitchen is full of things that work, that evoke memories, and that make life just a little bit easier.
Whether you're looking for that one legendary Tupperware cookie jar, or you want to tackle your entire pantry with a new system for storage boxes and organization, remember that quality is always the best choice. It saves you frustration, it keeps your food fresher, and it's a piece of nostalgia that we just don't want to lose.
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. I'm going back into the kitchen now, because I can already hear the oven beeping – time for a new batch of cookies! And you know: if you have questions or just want to consult about what size container you need? I'm here for you.
