Back to School Event: Laptop Lunch Bento-Ware {review & giveaway}

⋅ 131 Comments


We have extended our Back to School Event because there was just too much awesome to fit into a two week span!  Next up, a fun way to eat lunch!

My family packs a lunch for school and work so we are always looking for great, reusable lunch products.  Laptop Lunches has a great selection of bento boxes, carriers and accessories to make eating lunch fun!

Laptop Lunches Bento-ware are non-toxic containing no lead, BPA, phthalates or PVC.  They are made from recycled materials and are recyclable themselves.  One bento box is very durable and will last for years, saving you money and protecting the environment.  Even better?  They are made right here in the USA!

We recently had an opportunity to try the Bento Lunch Box in pink and black. It features the laptop box, five inner containers in different sizes and three lids that seal to prevent leaking.  The container are microwave and dishwasher safe.

This is such a great way to add a little fun to yours or your child’s lunch.  I decided to make Riyan one of her favorite lunches, a wrap loaded with ham and veggies!

I put the ham and cheese in one sealed containers and her veggies in another.  The tortilla and lettuce/spinach, I left uncovered because I didn’t have to worry about them making any mess in the lunch box.  The smallest container was perfect for her cream cheese.

Riyan had a blast at lunch time putting together her wrap! It made her feel grown up, too!  We have since come up with many different themes for her lunch.  No more boring PB&J sandwich and fish crackers for her.  She is kickin’ it seriously cool now that she is in middle school.

Don’t know what to put into your bento box?  No problem!  Laptop Lunches has 365 bento lunch ideas and a variety of bento lunch recipes to get you started!

*If you order a Bento Box from Laptop Lunches, I advise getting a full system from the site, too.  We just have the actual bento box and it does not fit into any of our standard lunch totes, but a tote is included in a system. The outer dimensions are 9 x 7 x 2.25 inches.
