Plastica Melamine Bento Box

Plastica Melamine Bento Box

I may be becoming a tad obsessed with lunch boxes/lunch sacks/bento boxes (see Exhibit A and Exhibit B). Still, I think this Asian-inspired stacking melamine bento box from Plastica is far cuter than the much-raved-about Laptop Lunch system, with its bulky and underwhelming laptop-bag design. I wish I could tell you where either lunch kit was made, though. ($36, Plastica)

    The only downside with it is no micro usage. :(
    I got the decor line of plastic containers because they were made of the “good” plastic. :)

    I use a thermos bento for my son’s lunch. He loves it. It saves me money and he eats a healthy meal for lunch. His teaches have even commented about him bringing gourmet hot lunches to school.
