Easy Lunchboxes ~ GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Winner #81-Lauren! Congratulations!

image

We were recently sent a set of Easy Lunchboxes along with a cooler to review. I am about to admit how truly dorky I am. I was probably more excited for these to arrive in the mail than I have been for any other item we have had sent to us for a review!!!!! Yup, I LOVE containers and I knew if these ended up being half as great in person as they appeared online, I was in for a plastic container state of bliss.

They arrived and I tore into the box to find my plastic slice of heaven. They ARE better in person! I honestly had 2 main concerns that I knew I would have to figure out when they actually arrived…

  1. How easy the lids came off, and if they sealed enough for my liking without being too tight or too loose. They are PERFECT, seriously. Somehow they stay on, but yet the kids can open them alone.
  2. The quality of the plastic itself. I have used both Tupperware and also Ziploc…and I don’t love either. Tupperware tends to be a bit too tough for my liking, and the lids are often too tight and secure for me. Ziploc {and other cheaper brands} are too flimsy and don’t cut it for me either. Easy Lunchboxes are the perfect middle ground, Honestly I was shocked, they are much sturdier than Ziploc-ish containers, but the lids are still able to be removed easily.

Within hours of their arrival, they were neatly stacked in my fridge like this…IMG_3418…all ready for the next day. I also decided to color coordinate the boys’ juice cups {they only get 1 per day} and pre-fill those too. The container under the juice cups is the morning snack, and to the left are the boys’ water bottles.

Lunch the next day was a dream {and each day since then}. I pulled out the boxes and handed them out. It was wonderful.IMG_3514

After lunch, what wasn’t eaten, got left in the Easy Lunchbox and put right back into the fridge to be eaten before afternoon snack!!!! This was a feature I hadn't thought of! It makes lunch easily re-storable for those little sweethearts who don’t eat all of their healthy food only to beg for snacks later. We don’t offer our children alternative meals, and if they don’t eat what is served, they are either done for the day {if it is dinner} or if it can be saved, it will be saved for the next time they are hungry. Easy Lunchboxes make this plan work beautifully!!!!

The boxes that were emptied went into the sink, and that was the ONLY mess I had to worry about! I didn’t have to clean up the entire kitchen after preparing lunch in the middle of our homeschooling day. Nor did I need to stop early to begin preparing lunch!!!! Doing the prep work at night saved me tons of stress!!!

I LOVE these things!!!!!! I highly recommend them to all of you…both for home use and for traveling use. Whether you homeschool or pack your child’s lunch for “going” school…they are perfect!

I can't believe someone hasn't come out with this before now. How cool are they! I like that they can be stacked and take up litle space. I also like that I can make lunch all at one time and then pull them out at lunch time without having to deal with the mess. I hope I win!

I like the idea on their site about using waxed paper on top of a compartment before putting on the lid to make it more leak-resistant for stuff like yogurt. These look good. jeanz42 at hotmail dot com

After looking around their site, I learned that you can attach cute clips and tags to personalize the coolers. I also learned that my 8yo daughter is interested in trying to pack different things in her lunch this year. Hmmm, we will see how that turns out, but I like the idea.

I learned you cannot visit their site without going crazy on ordering stuff! I held back a bit in case I win! I also liked that she had lunch ideas on there. I really needed that. My kids drive me crazy with their limited list of food they will eat which I'm trying to change.

I liked your idea of no alternative meals and that they can just put what they didn't eat back in the fridge and eat it later.

LOVE THAT
