Even though schools out for Summer, we still seem to use a re-usable lunch bag all the time. Whether we’re packing for a trip to the park, beach or day camp – a sack lunch is typically part of the day.
We’ve found no better way to pack a meal on the go than in a cute eco-chic Lunch Bug ($23.95) by Mimi the Sardine!
Made out of fun, funky, and mess proof eco-coated fabric; days of toting a boring brown bag are officially over.
Out of the 10 adorably European fabric choices, my 4 year old just had to have the Cats n Dogs pattern. Complete with sturdy handles and a zipper at the top, the Lunch Bug is tough enough to be withstand the messiest of messes. When it’s time to clean-up, just throw it into the washing machine and tumbled dry on “low”.
Mimi the Sardine is all about kids having fun at mealtime. Along with the Lunch Bug, they offer many other spill-friendly products (such as Splashmats, Aprons and even placemats).
WIN YOUR OWN! We have one Lunch Bug to give to one lucky Simple reader. To be entered, visit the Mimi the Sardine website, look around, and come back here to leave us a comment letting us know one other product the company makes that thrills you (and why).
Winner will be randomly selected and notified July 3, 2009.
