Kids Konserve Stainless Lunchbox and Cool Eco Party Gear

Posted by: Meg In: Lunchbox Products

 

stainless-lunchbox10% OFF COUPON CODE: xoxo

If you are in the quest for a non-plastic lunchbox, consider the stainless steel lunchbox offered by Kids Konserve. Their $42 Lunchkits include a recycled cotton sack containing a stainless drink bottle, 2 stainless steel food containers, a food kozy, cloth napkin, and recylced aluminum name tag.  The lunchbox is plastic-free with the exception of the Food Kozy that provides a great alternative to ziploc bags. The Food Kozies are made of recycled, FDA approved plastic that is non-toxic, non-leaching, and recyclable PE plastic. All of the Kids Konserve products are Bisphenol-A (BPA) free.

After years of smelling stinky vinyl lunchboxes, I am a big fan of washable lunch gear. The Kids Konserve lunchbox is fully washable, with suggested cleaning as follows:

  • Recycled Cotton Lunch Sack: Machine wash cold, line dry
  • Stainless Steel Bottle and lid- Hand wash warm soapy water
  • Round Food Containers and Lids – Dishwasher safe
  • Napkin – Machine wash, machine dry,light iron or lay flat on top dryer to dry
  • Food Kozy – Hand wash with warm soapy water

If you aren’t interested in the whole lunch kit, you can buy items individually or in sets. For instance, a set of 5 Food Kozies is $25. Plus, if you buy the lunch kit it is nice to know you can buy replacement parts for items that get lost or worn out over time.reusable-plastic-party-plates

Another cool item Kids Konserve sells is the reusable Party Pak for school classrooms, picnics & birthday parties. It contains a set of 25 7″  plates, 16 oz. tumblers, and forks, knives & spoons–all made from 100% recycled plastic yogurt containers!  These seem like such a great idea to me since every kid get-together seems to result in an entire bag full of thrown away plates and cups.  Since the party pack items are top rack dishwasher safe, they make cleanup easy, too! The 25 pack is $55 and they also sell a 12 pack for $35.

Kids Konserve has offered a 10% off coupon for purchases made through May 31, 2009.  Visit their online catalog and enter coupon code xoxo.  If  you make a purchase or currently use any of their products, let us know what you think!

About

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...
