A cool, eco-friendly lunch box for kids!

I was watching The Today Show this morning and while I no longer have kids of the age where they  pack lunches for school, this eco-friendly way of doing it caught my eye. It's SO cool, I'm sitting here trying to figure out a reason why I need to buy one anyway.

PlanetBox makes this hip lunch box that incorporates the classic design of a compartmentalized lunch tray with the utilitarian need for storage and transport capabilities.

Made of stainless steel, it has a hinged cover and five compartments (PlanetBox Basic). It's also available with two separate round containers - one large and one small - for condiments and dips (PlanetBox Plus). Another option is an insulated carrying case, which you'd surely want. For all of the above (PlanetBox Complete), the total cost is $59.95. You can also buy the "extras" separately.

Even the carrying case is eco-minded, being made of toxin-free recycled plastic fibers. (No lead, no PVC, no phthalates, no BPA). 

Another fun aspect of these is the magnets that come with the set that allow you to personalize the lunch tray. There are Retro Kitty, Rockets, Green Globe, Sports Balls, Under the Sea, Rainbow, Modern Art, Groovy, Wheelies, and Paisley & Plaid magnet sets. I know right now that I'd want Paisley & Plaid! ('Cause I LOVE paisley!)
