I remember buying one of those in high school, and then decoupaging graphics all over it. I painted and sponged the lunchbox and then I ripped letters and words and pictures that I liked out of magazines, and glued them all over it. Then I covered it with a couple of coats of varnish, and I had the coolest handbag ever! I started a frenzy of lunchbox decoupaging at my high school.

I think you should order it. You would be the coolest if you carried that to work with you.

After eating for 17 years in the same food court every day, I've decided it's time for drastic action. Like sandwiches.

Your art-lunchbox sounds awesome. I'll have to resist putting stickers and stuff on mine... all that black IS like a blank canvas, isn't it?

Sammiches are great! Here's my current fav - I make this for my husband and son a lot.

avo and turkey wrap

half a ripe avo, sliced
half a tomato, sliced
a few slices smoked turkey breast
a few slices cheese of your choice
shredded romaine
ranch dressing or mayo or whatever dressing you like
salt, pepper, etc to taste
spinach wrap

Just spread it out and wrap it up! Now you have to buy the lunchbox, because it's the perfect shape for wraps. You can add bacon to the wrap if you want to kill yourself quicker.

You can add bacon to the wrap if you want to die happy.

Fixed your post.

we just bought a new lunchbox. It arrived today and I'm excited!

here is the same thing from the link you posted. Though, we got a nifty case plus beverage bottle so I suppose it's worth the extra $10 we spent.

These are classics. I haul a green stanley thermos around- makes me feel like I should be going fishing (or climbing skyscraper construction sites).

This all sounds good except the avocado and tomato... I don't like raw tomatoes, nor avocadoes under ANY circumstances.

Some pickles would add a little crunch, though... and hot mustard. That sounds lovely. I hadn't thought about wraps... I'll have to try this out. :) (Once I stop shopping the flea markets and go ahead and buy the damn lunchbox already, that is.)

OOH flea market. Gotta do that this weekend.

No No No! It's all about the Mr.Bento! King of lunchboxes (and jars) everywhere! Hail Mr.Bento!

Mr.Bento even has his own Flickr Group!
