Bento Box Fever!

[AkTomboy]

Im glad you posted on this thread. I grew up with my grandma making bento boxes for me during the summer and my mom and dad for school. And yes they are as addicting as chickens lol I just read all 61 pages. I have already started my crib midget on the different molds and cutters for his snacks and such. I even take all his goodies in a bento box now lol. I look foward to seeing new ideas from everyone.

From their website:

Farewell to our loyal fans:

Our customer service ended on July 28, 2009, as announced at the time of online store closure. We again thank you for your business and hopefully one day we will be able to re-open the web store.

I'll miss them as a source for cute bento products. I need to find another source! Or I'll just move to San Francisco.

Having gotten really annoyed with the cost of lunches and what was being served at my son's school i have gotten two of the bento jars. I cannot wait til they arrive.
