About this list:

I like things that are offbeat, whimsical and wacky but that still serve a purpose. Again, these aren't things you'll likely see at your local big-box store or mall.

Stylish three-tiered bento-boxes in an assortment of colors. Wouldn't you be proud to take this lunch box to work or school and have it fold out into all its separate compartments?

Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless-Steel lined Lunch Jar, Silver

25 people recommended this item

Description

I love this!!!! It's a great way to make sure you have a balanced lunch - a container for a starch, one for protein, one for veggies, etc. It's perfect for taking my lunch to work.

And, I love the fact that I don't have to search through mismatched plastic containers and lids every time I decide to take my lunch to work! It's all neatly packed and stored together - adding a little bit of organization and ease to my hectic life.

A must have piece of hardware for a true cardboard construction worker, Mr. McGroovy's rivets securely hold cardboard together with a kid-safe snap fastening made of plastic.
