Thriftee gear lunchbag review

I won this Thriftee gear lunch bag in a giveaway by Cristi at Bent on Better Lunches

My eldest daughter looked at all the cool T-shirt designs and chose this cool tie dye design. You can also send in your old T-shirt to be made into a lunch bag.

It has a water resistant food safe lining and is machine washable and dry able. These bags can be used for other things beside lunch ( e.g. For a gym bag or taking things to the beach.)

It is approximately 12" tall, 4" deep and 12" wide. It can hold a substantial lunch including water bottle.

They also now make backpack style bags.

The standard lunch bag doesn't have pockets but the backpack style does. I think the addition of pockets is a good feature.

Here is the lunch I packed in this today in a Hakoya bento box.

It's held up really well to kid abuse and Washings.


All opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way for this review.

Brown bear bento

Following on from yesterday's Grumpy cat I thought I would do the same technique but simplified.

  I got the inspiration from my daughters bento bag available at Allthingsforsale.com



I had everything out and my 9 year old wanted to make them so these are her creations ( see i told you they were easy)

Using a circle cookie cutter about 3.5" cut out two slices for each bear from dark rye. From white bread with oval cutter about 2 x 1" cut a muzzle for each bear. Cut the same hole in the face piece and insert the white bread. Use oval cutter to cut out ears and trim in half. Eyes and nose are shape-N-amaze dough.

Assemble in box with filling of choice these have jam or cheese.
Boxes used include a hakoya, monbento and ziploc box.

Grumpy Cat Bento

I am sure you all know Tardar sauce other wise known as Grumpy cat.

Here is my tribute to her.

This was made using circle and oval cutters on wheat, white and dark rye bread. Eyes, nose and mouth are Wilton sugar dough Shape-N-Amaze.  Inside is cheese. Served with salad of spinach and arugula, grapes, tomatoes. Other tier is blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, pirates booty cheese snacks and cheese "NO" cut free hand with an exacto knife.

Served In a Hakoya Bento box.
