BENTO GIVEAWAY

Pin It No, my computer is not fixed yet. They have it for the weekend and I'm praying for good news tomorrow. Thank-you to everyone for your well wishes and I will certainly learn my lesson to backup more frequently. My last backup was 7 months ago - not smart of me! In the meantime, I have teamed up with the fabulous All Things for Sale to bring you this amazing bento giveaway. I chose some of my most favorite new bento products available right now and made an adorable bento so you can see what you can do with these products. Now this is just one of many different bento boxes you can make with these awesome new bento supplies. I'm so excited about this giveaway and I think you're about to get very excited too!

Bento140


Do you like this bento??? Then you're going to love this giveaway!

Here is what's up for grabs:

1. ONE of my favorite bento boxes in your choice of 4 colors. These are by far my favorite bento boxes to use right now. They are the perfect size for Kirsten, she can open and close them easily, I love the leakproof top tier with lid, and I especially love the bright colors. These boxes rock!



2. ONE elastic strap to close your bento box from the following choices:



3. An awesome set of 4 deco animal cutters. That's right, you get all four - bear, rabbit, seal and chick. I love making small sandwich wraps and then cutting a piece of lunch meat with these cutters and wrapping it around the sandwich. You can also wrap them around rice balls too. Are these not the cutest bento accessory you've ever seen?? These are a bento must-have. The kiddos love them.



4. A set of three of my current most favorite silicone cup molds. You get a pea pod, some cherries, and an orange. They are a little larger than the usual small silicone containers, and they are absolutely adorable. Definitely a favorite of mine.



5. And finally, an adorable set of 8 food picks. These picks feature 4 different foods, all with adorable little faces on them. Isn't everything always cuter with a sweet little face?



Is that not an awesome giveaway?? Do you want to win this awesome loot of bento goodness?? Here are the specs:

This giveaway is open to everyone worldwide!
Please make sure your comment either links to your email address, or you leave me your email address in the comment. If you win and I

  12. I absolutely adore bentos!! I have just started making them and I am trying to boost my very small collection of Bento items!! I am also currently in Japan for a holiday over the Easter break and I am very jealous of the multitude of cute things they have here!! There are very little items in Australia, where I live and I have bought a few things here however I cannot take that many things home with me!! I would love to win these amazing Bento items!!

  163. i love all things bento because: (1) It's Japanese. And I love the Japanese/culture; (2) It's another creative outlet for me besides sewing/crafting; (3) It encourages my son to eat. It makes lunchtime more fun! And veggies are more appealing when they're strategically positioned in colorful boxes and has a little bear pick in it; and (4) They are just SO darn cute!
