It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, it’s time for school shopping and for me, it might as well be Christmas thanks to a lifelong love of school and office supplies. Of course, these days the school shopping is actually for my kids rather than myself but that’s okay — it’s still exciting. And at the top of the FUN list is picking out a lunchbox! The thing about lunchboxes is that they can contain lead and PVC — neither of which you want your child handling or coming in contact with their food. So…finding a good, safe lunchbox should be a top priority and lucky for everyone, there are lots of safe options (see list below). In addition to a non-toxic lunchbox, don’t forget about what goes IN to the lunchbox like reusable bottles for beverages, cloth napkins (pick up an assortment for next to nothing at thrift stores), non-disposable utensils (grab some from a a yard sale or thrift store if you’re afraid of using your regular silverware) and reusable containers.
