Laptop lunches

It's official, I'm moving into the packing lunch for my kid stage.  Eli is starting full day kindergarten in less than a month and that means he's taking lunch to school.  I've tried a few bento style lunch boxes over the last few years and never really found anything that I loved.  They always leaked after a while.  Until now that is.  I am loving the Laptop Lunches boxes.

Basically, it's one box with little boxes inside.  A couple of them have lids and a couple don't, plus a teeny one for dip or salad dressing.  I have used it for my own lunch as well as Eli's snacks for summer camp and have had no leaks.  Plus, it's way more fun to fill a lunch box like this than baggies and a paper bag.  I like it so much, I ordered one for each of us.

A tip for us Canadians:  The shipping at the laptop lunches site is crazy expensive. I found them on the indigo website and I qualified for free shipping, plus the base price was less.  There were less choices (only two I believe) and none of the fancy carrying cases, but if you are looking for the basic model, Indigo is definitely the place to buy them.

Happy shopping!
