2010 Christmas Bento Shopping Guide
With only 3 days of Amazon shopping left to get items before Christmas, I thought I should do a shopping post with some recommended items for those of you out there with a recent (or veteran) bento addict in the house. I’ve listed things by price in case you guys are looking for anything from stocking stuffers (like my book Yum-Yum Bento Box: Fresh Recipes for Adorable Lunches
Just to give a warning now though, if your significant other has an addictive personality like me, stuff like this can happen. This is a photo of me that appeared in the local paper this past February. As you can see, I have bento box issues. I mean, this looks like a picture promo for an episode of Hoarders!
I’ve thought about getting rid of some, but I haven’t found the strength to part with any of them yet. And these are just my boxes! I have my bento accessories too!
Okay, warning over. Let’s get shopping!

My name is Crystal Watanabe and I'm 32 years old, living in Honolulu, Hawaii with my husband and two children. I have an addictive personality and that's a terrible thing when you're into cute bentos. I own over 200 bento boxes and way too many bento accessories!. 
you have no clue how helpful this is!

Great list! I ordered several copies of your book for all my teenage nieces this Christmas. They are into all things Asian and they like to tinker around in the kitchen. I really think bento is going to be right up their alley. And I get to be the cool aunt who introduces them…hehehe.

0.o Maybe it was a glitch on my side. The Amazon rollover links were showing nearly all the items’ links as the fish sauce containers instead as what they were listed as. Even when I clicked them, it brought me to the fish. I’m suspect Amazon was messing with updating or coding or somesuch, because it’s all working perfectly now.
>.< Sorry for the false start.
