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!) to full blown gifts (like rice cookers).
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!
Please note that unless noted, all items listed are in stock by Amazon.
