Flatbox Lunchbox (Review & Giveaway)

June 2, 2014 by TheBoyAndMe 101 Comments

Since The Boy started school in September, I've done my utmost to make lunches a fun and enticing thing. Without me there to cajole him into eating everything, I felt it was important to make eating his food an exciting an activity as chatting to his friends around him; it's the main reason that I make him Bento lunchboxes.

He's very fond of having different shaped lunchboxes and lunchbags, and when we were sent the Flatbox lunchbox for him to review, it soon usurped his other lunchbags as his favourite.

Back To School: Paul Frank Lunchboxes

September 15, 2013 by TheBoyAndMe 2 Comments

In the search for the perfect lunchbox for The Boy, we've been trying out a funky, green lunchbox and bottle by Paul Frank, available from Room Copenhagen.

The brightly coloured, BPA-free, plastic lunchbox measures approximately 15cmx13cmx6cm and is the perfect size for an infant child's lunch, with an easily removable lid that fits back on securely. The two tone water bottle has a cup in the bottom which unscrews easily to provide a drinking cup. The screw top lid would be great to use with a carabiner on a school rucksack. Both the box and the drinking bottle are available in bright green, blue or pink, with the cheeky Julius monkey adorning them.

They're a great fun set which help to make lunchtime bright and attractive.

Pink Lining

A few months ago, I was fortunate enough to be sent a Pink Lining change bag for review and it is currently my bag of choice during these 'Summer' months. Bright and attractive, with a wipe-clean fabric and plenty of pockets for all our little bits, the Queensdale tote is a perfect toddler change bag.

The other day I opened the door to find another Pink Lining delivery, this time for The Boy. The lovely people over there thought that he might like to try their new Robbie the Robot lunch bag.

The lunch bag has a double-zipped front opening up three-quarters of the way around to reveal a PVC waterproof inside with a elasticated net pocket on the side of the lid, and an elastic loop in the main section to be used as a drinks holder. The wipe-clean interior is a perfect size for school lunches, picnics or day trips out, with plenty of space for a few Tupperware tubs and a drink. The main part of the exterior is made from a wipe-clean material covered in a cute robot print. On the back is a clear pocket for a name label to be inserted into. The lid is not a wipe-clean surface, instead it has a full-length Robbie Robot design embroidered onto it. The handle on the top has a nifty clip to enable you to attach it to another bag, pushchair, etc.

We love this bag, it's very cute, practical and a perfect size for the lunches of young men with growing appetites. The Robbie the Robot lunch bag is available from Pink Lining for £20.00 and measures 23x23x8.5cm.
