Lock & Lock Giveaway

The other night, I was putting Buddy to sleep and I kissed him good night on the lips. He grinned ear to ear and shyly told me that this meant that we would get married. I told him I can’t marry him, cause I’m already married to Daddy, so he asked if he could marry his sister. When I told him that was against the rules too, he picked out a girl at school. I asked how he would ask her and he said, “Can I please marry you?” Awww!!

Today I will be continuing my review on Lock & Lock  and hosting a giveaway of two Lock & Lock sets sponsored by All Things for Sale.

Stew Bento

I packed this lunch yesterday, but I ended up going home sick with an ocular migraine. It’s got some leftover hamburger stew with rice. To make the carrot flowers, I simply removed some of the stewed carrots, rinsed them off, and cut them with a vegetable cutter. All Things for Sale has the exact set that I have here. Read the first part of my review here.

The Lock & Lock Box I’m using today is exactly the same as the one yesterday, but this one comes with a little water bottle that fits nicely on top of the two boxes. I’m assuming this one was supposed to come with the same set of chopsticks, but they weren’t in it. Either this is a minor oversight or my kids sniped it while I wasn’t looking and they’re being used as flagpoles or mysterious stakes in the yard. I sure hope not. I put the ones from the other set in with this photo.

The water bottle is secure enough. I lugged it to work, back home, and back to work without any spills. Under the pop cap is a screwtop cap, offering double protection against leaks. I drank the water that had been sitting in there for about 36 hours and was pleasantly surprised that there was no plastic taste.

While the main dish box passed the test and leaked no stew, I can’t say the same for the interior of the divided container. I intentionally filled one section with mandarin orange slices and a little bit of the juice to test the leak-proof factor. No liquid leaked outside, but I did find juice in all three sections of my fruits. Not that big a deal since it’s all fruit and avocado, but it’s not as internally secure as I thought.

Despite this minor flaw, I still love it and still recommend either set. If you’d like to win one, head over to the All Things for Sale site and then comment here, telling me what item you wish you would get for Christmas, excluding the items being given away here.

Lock-n-Lock Bags

I will draw two winners from this post. The first will receive the red set with the water bottle and the second will receive the blue set. A couple of rules:

  1. Deadline is Friday, December 10, 2010 at midnight Hawaii time.
  2. ONE comment per person.
  3. Invalid comments will be deleted.
  4. If you are emailed about the prize, you must claim it within 48 hours or it will be awarded to someone else.

Good luck!

    awww. there’s nothing like knowing that even if you missed a good lunch it’s still there waiting for you!

    these look perfect to bring into work! I have one of those container store ones but i don’t like that they don’t unstack which makes reheating hard. and it all gets jostled around more.

    Ooh, an excuse for window-shopping. The cups and sauce containers catch my eye. I tend to pack lunches that are meant to be heated, so cups would make it easy to pack fresh fruits and vegetables that I could then take out before microwaving. And sauce containers would be handy considering how much I love ketchup. I think I like the plain kind more than the animal-shaped ones: http://www.allthingsforsale.com/bento-accessory/1552-japanese-bento-accessories-sauce-container-set-of-4-mayo-cup-.html, http://www.allthingsforsale.com/bento-accessory/1636-japanese-bento-lunch-box-accessories-silicone-food-cup-round-with-car-tip.html.

    At first glance, I thought that was some sort of extremely saucy curry. Stew and rice is a great combination. The color choices, in general, are nice as well.

    The giveaway sounds winful too. If I were to ask a certain saint for something from All Things For Sale, I’d have to go with the kitchen soup bowl spoon set ( http://www.allthingsforsale.com/bento-food-pick-chopsticks/1549-japanese-kitchen-soup-spoon-set-of-3.html ); I don’t have any Japanese spoons yet, and the stopper on it would be convenient.

    I’d like the Japanese Bento Accessories Sauce Container set of 4, because I use sauce all the time, but I put in a container that takes up way too much space, and isn’t entirely leak proof. I’m always worried it will spill all over my lunchbox, so I stick to thicker sauces, which generally aren’t as good for you as some basic soy. I also think the regular set is just plain adorable! It’d be fun to put some sort of say, strawberry sauce in the strawberry one.

    I’m also a bento beginner and need everything. I’ve been looking at All Things for Sale for a couple of months and am trying to decide what I want. I have a shopping list of wishes that’s much too long.

    I’ve been substituting some containers similar to the Lock&Lock for the bento boxes I don’t own. Bandanas make good furishikis, not to mention handy placemats/napkins. (Sigh, I’m not a neat eater.)

    So, if I’m being practical, first on the list is sauce containers. The “Japanese Bento Accessories Sauce Container set of 4 Animal” would be wonderful.

I’ve never been able to afford any bento (being on disability) but I’m finally saving up enough money to get one. It’s not for me, though, that can wait, I think I might get that man’s bento, the flat one level that can be microwaved, for my husband, and wait to save up money for myself, unless I get lucky and get the lock and lock!

    But I am a teacher and I work with young kids so to me the strawberry is adorable and to them its AMAZING and they MUST see whats inside. Its such a great way to bribe them into a straight quiet line when it time to walk to the cafeteria XD Although I doubt I can wear it like a boog bag I think its child sized I would just carry it by the straps.

    As far as bento gear goes, I would love a red more traditional looking bento. Something like this:
    http://www.allthingsforsale.com/bento-box-bento-box/1666-japanese-bento-box-2-tier-lunch-box-with-strap-red-flower.html

    Maybe someone will get it for me, but I highly doubt it. Something more reasonable would be the trade paperbacks of the Wizard of Oz comic books series. It’s not exactly in the same realm, but I would really like either of those things for Christmas.

    I love the flowers that you used to decorate the stew. It seems like I can never get my carrots to cut that cleanly! Hopefully that migraine will stay away and never come back :)

    Truthfully there are TONS of things that I want from All Things for Sale! But the two items that I would like first are:

    1 – The leaf picks which I see in lots of bentos and they are so pretty, but I’ve never seen for sale before.

    2 – The banana cutter tool because I’m allergic to bananas and can’t touch them, but my daughter loves to eat them. I would really like to be able to cut them up for her and this seems like a fantastic tool :)

    I would love to buy one of these: http://www.allthingsforsale.com/japanese/1497-wooden-japanese-sushi-boat.html

    Wooden sushi boat! So cool for homemade sushi, and it would look awesome for displaying other foods as well on a table.

    PS: Lock and Lock bento containers? Swoon.

    I want the Microwavable Airtight Bento Lunch Box Set Green Small. Too bad it’s not in stock right now! So maybe I’d get the Japanese Bento Bag Insulated Lunch Bag for Bento Box.

    #1 on my list are the Lock & Lock 4 square boxes, but they are still out of stock :-( , I would also put on my list the silicone food cups, the rice molds, and the soy sauce containers – they are all super cute!

    I saw your last post and went on the website and OMG I love the site! I never thought I could get a bento box for under $6 but there they are, all lined up! What I want for xmas from that site? I would have gone NUTS! First of all I love the cute bento sets they have, the ones that comes with bag and utensils, there were TONS of them! And then I would get myself a happy face puncher, I’ve been wanting for a while now. I stopped by 99 cent store at Ward the last time and found that they have changed it to members only. I was…sad. =( I’m just seeing a soy wrapper on their “menu”, I would definitely try that! would be a nice twist to make sushi! And lastly, I would get my hands on the food picks and cups. I wonder if the hubs gonna let me spend some money there? Hmmm….

    It’s pretty hard to choose just one thing – I want pretty much everything on that site! But the JAPANESE BENTO ACCESSORIES SOY SAUCE FORREST ANIMALS CONTAINER are soooo cute! Cute little animal heads on top of a soy sauce container – that would make me happy every day!

    Love you site!!

    Wow, I love that site! Everything’s on sale. My favorite would have to be the “Japanese Bento Box Lunch Box Set Gorgeous Blue Large.” It looks big enough to pack a whole picnic for 2 people yet still handy enough to carry around in the drawstring bag.

    I asked for this one for Christmas so I can start making bentos for my significant other. *crossing fingers* Looks professional enough even a bento with rainbows would slide where he works. ^.~ Too bad it is sold out.

    After browsing the site for awhile (maybe too long), I think I would want the froggy cutting board with grid for Christmas (http://www.allthingsforsale.com/bento-accessory/1502-japanese-bento-decoration-cutting-board-sheet-with-cutting-line-frog.html) I’m a bad cutter, so maybe if I had something with lines, I could make my food the same width when I cut! Plus – it’s a frog – you can’t go wrong with that!

    I believe adults can find it hard to understand a marriage proposal at times too, it’s a shame we as adults are less innocent when giving an answer. I Wish I understood better on which is a right or wrong choice when asked this (which I was asked tonight) hence I am still thinking. But I think it’s adorable on how your kid reacted to marriage, and very straight forward and wonderful of you to explain it to him ^_^.

    Anyway enough of my rambling. For Christmas I would like to be able to give the right decision, rather than panicking. I haven’t really thought of any actual material possessions I want but I guess it’s nicer to be surpised.

    What a great site, I’m glad that you mentioned them on your blog, I’ve been looking for a new place to buy bento supplies! The item that I would like is the Microwavable Japanese Bento Box Lunch Box Gorgeous Black Shiny Design. Unfortunately, many of my bentos are not microwave safe, so it would be nice to have one that is. :)

    Gah! Soooo many awesome things! My #1 would be the soy wraps! My son is allergic to artificial food coloring so it’s hard to find things that are fun and bright to add to his lunches. I’ve been coveting them for years and just can’t bring myself to pay so much (once shipping is included) for something we’ll eat in just a week or so!

    Also, the set of cutters with the squirrel would make my kid’s head explode! Out back of our house looks like a bizarre nature preserve and there are TONS of squirrels who play back there! Every time he sees one he yells “Ah! I saw a cute thing!!”
