i love bento boxes, but what is a "laptop lunch box"? thanks muchly.

Liseanne27 02/10/2007 #

Its a not-so-cute practical bento box system. The only reason I banned them is they are not cute or "bento-like" in anyway, except their function. http://www.laptoplunches.com/

This sounds wonderful!

I'm really interested in the Totoro box. Signing up now.

user6243 02/11/2007 #

All right, I realize now that there probably won't be a Totoro bento in my mailbox as a result of this swap :) However, I'm still game!

Im new to "bento" I just did a search, they look soooo cute that I now have to have one!!! does anyone have any places to find a bento box? I plan on going to our local asian market too... and check out ebay???

fairykiss 02/11/2007 #

ebay has tons! if you live by a bigger city most asian markets sell them and if by chance you are lucky enough to have a pen-pal or someone you know in Japan then maybe they can send one :) that reminds me to ask my bubby

BTW The Totoro bento was from Jbox.com .

Also, Sanrio usually carries Sanrio (duh) ones. The American stores usually have them imported but sell them at cheaper prices than most (not all) online or import stores.

Oh! I wish this was not US-only! ;>

If this is sucessful or I get enough participants we can do an international one next. The shipping charges are just so expensive for anything larger than an envelope.

I would love a Sanrio or San-X one:)

Danielle, Your bento box is on its way! It is rather traditional... that is all they had in the Japanese stores in our area. Portland is such a big town that I thought selection would be better. Well, I hope you enjoy it nonetheless and I filled it with a few goodies.

Byronic Woman~ Your bento box (with goodies) is on its way! Hope you enjoy it.

I am thinking about manually changing a partner because we seem to have a know bad swapper (see Swap-bot Member Forum ). The potential no-sender is Handmade Hearts and her alias is Sasha Monkey. I have already notified all parties involved. Please let me know if you personal know, or are this swapper to let me know if I am mistaken about their intents. I've tried to email them with no success.

I have got the funniest thing to tell you all!!! Today I saw TV Star's picture of the bento box I sent her, I bought it off of ebay after reading her profile, I thought it was adorable, I box it up to send. Did not think another thing about it. Then I received my bento box from Liseanne27, I thought how cute! Got excited about planning the first meal to pack for myself! Today when I found TVStar's picture, a big bolt hit me! That is the same box I received from Liseanne! I got up from the computer and went to the kitchen to confirm it! Sure is! WOW! Could that happen again??? How funny!!!

I guess it just goes to show you, great minds think alike!
