I am trying to pick a lunch box system for my kiddos for next year. This year we were on assistance for lunches so Alex got them for free and Cyan didn't eat lunch at school. But next year they will BOTH be lunching at school and we are making more, so I doubt we will qualify... which means, we need lunch boxes and the like.

Here are the few I am choosing from:
eBay: JAPANESE BENTO 4pc CHOPSTICKS+LUNCHTOTE SET,BLUE SAKURA (item 150133880729 end time Jul-18-07 05:05:19 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/JAPANESE-BENTO-4pc-CHOPSTICKS-LUNCHTOTE-SET-BLUE-SAKURA_W0QQitemZ150133880729QQihZ005QQcategoryZ400 3QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting)

Laptoplunches.com - Lunch Boxes, Bento Boxes, Containers, Drink Bottles and more (http://www.laptoplunches.com/)

To-Go Ware::Products (http://www.to-goware.com/products.php)

Or something like this:
Child Prints - WRAP-N-MAT - Washable sandwich wrap that is also a (http://www.wrap-n-mat.com/child-prints-c-2.html)

With this:
Waxed Paper Bags by Natural Value, 60 Count, Item #144985 (http://www.naturalgrocers.com/706173100065.html)

And pretty much the cutest website for lunches ever! (http://bentotv.com/episodes/episode98.html)

I am planning on making them something like this for metal utencils and getting them special forks etc that are JUST for their lunches. They will be less likely to loose them if they only have one set. ;)

I got Annabelle the Laptop Lunch Box and she LOVES it. It hold a lot of food, most days more than she could eat in the time they gave her. I got her the pink set and she still thinks it's the coolest thing ever. My Mom and I love them so much we want our own too :D

They come with silverware and a little place to put it, but cloth napkins would be a good thing to make :D

Just another fun place to look for lunch boxes. I think I will get my dh the maroon and brown set for his lunches. Three is better than two for him. And it will fit in his travel lunch pack, with a couple cokes beside.

we have laptop lunch systems and love them! i am in the process of sewing up some picnic placemats too, similar to the pics you posted. they will roll up and have a little pocket for silverware and a cloth napkin. i am making them mostly for lunches at the park this summer but they might be nice for school lunches too. :)
