Description
This set of three nesting snack boxes wears the Fairies in the Garden print, a cheerful scene of winged fairies dancing among forget-me-nots, daisies, nodding bell flowers, leaves and bright butterflies. Each box is square with softly rounded corners, and a cream rim frames the printed panel on every lid. The largest pairs a deep teal lid with a pale aqua base. The middle box sets a bright blue lid on a green base, and the smallest tops a blue base with a green lid, so the three make a happy little family. They fit one inside another, and nested together they measure 11.5cm long, 11.5cm wide and 5.5cm high.
Three sizes give you a box for every kind of snack: the largest for bigger bites such as crackers or cheese, the middle one for sliced fruit or vegetable sticks, and the smallest for nuts, raisins or a little dip. Pop them into a lunch bag for work or a day out, tuck them into a picnic basket, or keep them in the kitchen cupboard for small leftovers. When they are not in use they stack one inside another, so the whole set takes up no more room than the largest box on its own. The bright floral print makes each one easy to spot in a busy bag or fridge.
Each base is made from polypropylene plastic and each lid from polyethylene plastic. The whole set weighs just 0.15KG, so it adds next to nothing to a bag. The bases can go in the dishwasher on the top rack only, while the lids should be washed by hand in warm soapy water. The boxes are not for use in the microwave, so heat food in a suitable dish instead. For a cheerful gift, fill the boxes with homemade biscuits or sweets and tie the stack with a ribbon.
