I love The Soft Landing! There are so many products I would like to have. For my 5 month old, I would love Sophie the Giraffe Natural Rubber Teether Toy. Its safe for her and adorable. She just started teething and I’m so nervous about teething toys. For my 2 1/2 yr. old the Laptop Lunch Bento Box or the Aladdin Lunch and Go Lunchbox would be great for preschool. I hate using ziploc bags and throwing them out.

What would I love to have? All of it! In my pre-bably life, I could have never imagined the countless hours I’d spend perusing and comparing bottles, cups, pacifiers, etc. My current obsession is finding that perfect straw bottle. So, if I had to name one thing I’d really love to get my hands on, that would be the Foogo straw bottle.

We use some some of soft lunch boxes for my kids, and we like them because there’s more “give” in their backpacks – PB&J doesn’t get smushed. But our Target purchases keep fraying and breaking. Perhaps they’re not made as well as these; I never thought about quality craftsmanship and lunchboxes in the same breath before. I’m tired of having to replace lunchboxes!

The “I Am Not a Paper Cup.” Ceramic Coffee Cup really amuses me. I think my husband and I both need those. The Laptop Lunch stainless steel bottles are nice too.

I love a lot of what they sell! Right now I would buy the natural rubber giraffe teether for our new baby and a stainless coffee thermos for me – a tired mama who’s coffee is always cold by the time i get to drink it!!

I like the Aladdin Lunch and Go sets and of course, the laptop lunch boxes. I’ve grown up with bentos and these bring back good memories, look stylish and are safe and easy to use.

We could really use the Vulli Vanilla Chan Pie Gnon Teether in Pink right now. My little one is so fussy and want to chew on everything because she is teething. I think she would like the vanilla flavor.

I’d love to get some of the sippy cups for my grandson. I especially like the Think Baby one. This is a wonderful resource for BPA and PVC free products. I’ll be referring it to my daughter.

I like almost everything at the soft landing – my daughter is 13 months old, so I am not as much into to infant bottles and teethers – but I am always checking out the storage containers, sippy cups and utensils. My daughter always has the cutest and most functional storage containers for her food at daycare and I know that they are safe too! As I tell all of my friends – forget about the big box brick and mortar stores for baby items – always check out THE SOFT LANDING for the safest, cutest and most durable items – congrats on the new website!

Hi,
I have to be a little self indulgent. I like the “I am not a paper cup” ceramic coffee cup. I actually am not a big coffee drinker, but I love hot chocolate and I take recycling seriously. So, I think it’s pretty cool.
Now, for my kids, I think Lefty The Dog – Built NY Munchiers Insulated Lunch Bag is adorable for taking food with us. My oldest is 4 1/2 and my triplets are 2. They are starting to show preferences for different things, so I think this is so cute to pack different things for each of the kids.

wow…looks like I finally found a place where i can get a lunch box for myself that no one else at work will have. it’s hard to get one that holds enough for a 12 hour shift and isn’t a freaking bucket.

I have the Think Baby trainer bottle, and really like it a lot. It’s really easy for my little boy to hold, and the spout is soft but doesn’t leak.

This is a cool site for worried moms. I would love to try the OnTray Grocery Cart Snack Tray for my one year old. Getting through the store is sometimes very interesting. The other thing I am confused about is sippy cups. I love thier Go BPA Free Sippy Sampler.

I'm Meg, a stay home Mom of 2 interested in promoting healthy, low waste lunches for kids and grownups. I aim to present good recipe ideas for packed lunches and to analyze lunchbox products currently available. I encourage involving your kids in all aspects of food. From gardening, to nutrition, to enjoying recipes and making some up... there is a lot to learn and enjoy. Cooking with kids in the kitchen is both spectacularly messy and fun, and generally well worth the extra cleanup time...
