I am a huge nerd because ever since I was in middle school, I dreamed of making cute little lunches for my kids one day, with sweet little notes I’ll write everyday. Yeah, who thinks of stuff like that when they’re 12? Apparently me! I also envisioned me sitting in the kitchen with healthy snacks made, and waiting for my kids to come home from school so I can ask them about how their day was while they ate their snacks. Which I plan on doing bytheway!
My daughter is starting 1st grade tomorrow and while I am mad at her that she keeps growing even when she promised me when she was 3 that she would stop growing, a part of me is really excited to make her cute, healthy lunches for her. Here is my wishlist of things I want to purchase for her lunch.

This lunchbox is awesome! It’s created by a mom of two little boys who couldn’t find the perfect lunch box she wanted. So she invented this Omiebox, the only bento lunch box that features a built-in vacuum insulated bowl, so you can store hot and cold food all in one lunchbox. It’ll keep the food hot or cold for 6 hours! You can take off the insulated bowl to fit a sandwich and other foods. Check them out on Kickstarter.
My girls love soda. If it were me I would NEVER ever let them drink soda, but daddy lets them drink it once in a while. I love how this Cozy Can looks just like a soda can(but way cuter) but I can put healthy juice like coconut water or water in it. Even if I put water in it, I don’t think they’ll be disappointed because drinking from this cute can will make it a lot more fun than drinking from a water bottle.
Presentation matters a lot when it comes to food, especially to kids and I know my girls will devour flower shaped carrots or cheese!
I plan on making my daughter a variety of lunches, including fried rice and these will be so cute for it!
I’m sure I’ll find many more cute bento lunch box items, I am sensing an addiction creeping on me slowly.;) Do you know of any cute lunch box items? I would love to know!

Oh my word these are great ideas! Also, I had to laugh because I too as a young tween dreamed of amazing things I was going to do when I had kids, like put glitter on their pillows when the tooth fairy came and having healthy, delicious, accessible snacks all the time…..now I dream of just getting through the night without waking up several times!
