Supporting Independent Retailers - Lunchbox World Giveaway

Many thanks to everone who entered.  This giveaway is now closed and the winner is :

ALEX - CURIOUSGREGOR -  CONGRATULATIONS



As part of my campaign to support independent retailers I'm featuring Caroline from Lunchbox World today, who has also very kindly offered my readers a giveaway.



Caroline, the founder of Lunchbox World started her business several years ago, when as a mother of three school aged children, she was searching for a lunch bag that could be washed and that still insulated the food. Caroline found one on sale in America made from neoprene, the wet suit fabric, that could be washed in the machine! Which meant goodbye to smelly lunch bags!



" being a working mum, I felt we all needed a bit more help and support in preparing these lunches day in day out, and in keeping up to date with the latest products out there, to help us on our way. No-one has the time to search the supermarkets for new and exciting healthy alternatives for that lunch box! Nor trawl through recipe sites for that new fresh lunch box inspiration!
We also need ideas on how to keep the costs down, but still make that packed lunch exciting and looking fresh until it is time to eat it."





The business was born ! She now constantly searches for new ranges and new ideas from all over the world. Bringing to the UK lunch bags and gadgets that are not readily available on the High Street.

Please pop over and take a look at the LunchBox World website it's bright, clean and easy to navigate.  Packed full of modern, innovative products for children and the whole family.  There are recipe ideas for healthy, fun lunches, hints and tips for your packed lunch, news and features, information on nutrition, a smashing kidsworld section.  This is a wonderful website which is so much more than just a site selling lunchboxes !

GIVEAWAY

Caroline has very generously offered a pack of four TUMTUMS Tiny Snackpots and a Tyrrell Katz Backpack with bugs design .  Both will, I am sure you will agree appeal to both boys and girls and could even be used by mums with babies.

To take part in the giveaway please pop over to the website  HERE  and take a look around.  Then come back here and leave a comment telling me what aspect of the site you like the most.  Is it a product ? or the receipe ideas ? whatever it is, we would love to know.

You can have one additional entry for leaving a comment for each of the following  :

    Karen, Yet another great find to add to your collection! I loved the section on Tips for Fussy Eaters.. I have one of these and will be trying some of these for sure :)
    It is refreshing to know these guys care about the kids and are not just trying to sell you a product. I have shared with friends as I believe this is a very worthy site to be following!

    I really liked the recipes, some of them were incredible cute looking, especially the fluffy sheep. I find that there are not enough lunchbox recipes out there and love it when I find some more.

    My favourite thing on the website was going to be the recipes in general, until I spotted the Edam, bacon & sundried tomato muffins recipe, at which point everything else in the world paled into insignificance.
