Friday Freebie: Stainless Steel Snack Container Giveaway

Looking for a non-leaching, non-toxic, durable alternative to plastic for storing snacks on the go? Stainless steel snack containers are a great reusable, eco-friendly option - and for kids, colourful designs are best.

Let's face it, stainless steel anything is an investment. There are no concerns about toxins leaching into your food and yes, they'll probably outlast us all but they're also more costly than disposable plastic options. Don't get us wrong, without a doubt the investment is worth it in savings in the long run, but to help ensure your stainless steel containers last for the long run - without getting lost at school - we suggest choosing fun, colourful designs that make kids want to hold on to them.

Our Blue Panda Stainless Steel Snack Containers Set and our pretty Pink Fairy Tea Party Snack Set both include two containers of different sizes: one 8oz. and one 16oz. container. They're perfect for all kinds of snacks and the screw on lid combined with the silicone seal (you get an extra one of these with each container) means these snack containers are leak proof and airtight. They're so airtight, the manufacturer recommends them for storing loose leaf tea and spices too!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THE WINNER IS SOOZLE! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED.

WIN IT!
We have one pink fairy stainless steel 8oz. snack container to give away. Tell us in a comment below what you would pack in it and it could be yours! Please be sure to include your email address so we can contact you if you win.

Extra entry:
Like us on our Lavish & Lime Facebook Page and post a comment on our wall about this giveaway.

This is our Friday Freebie, but we're happy to take entries through the weekend. Deadline for entries is midnight PST Sunday, May 29th and we'll announce the randomly chosen winner on our blog and on Facebook Monday, May 30th. Good luck!

For more green living ideas, visit our eco boutique Lavish & Lime where you'll find hundreds of everyday eco finds and unusual gift ideas that are good for you, your family and the planet too.

    My baby girl has started to eat solids now so I would put different fruits and veggies for her to enjoy in the near future. Since she doesn't have a container of her own this would be great!!!

    My daughter doesn't seem to eat fruits and veggies if they are on a plate, but she will happily munch away on carrots, lettuce, strawberries, and apples between meals. We need a container that I feel safe giving her to carry her munchies. Any of those foods would go perfectly in this container (and it is pink to boot!)
