Description
This set of three mermaid snack boxes brings a little underwater cheer to packed lunches and picnics. Each square box has a turquoise base and a cream lid, and every lid carries its own scene of mermaids swimming among fish, starfish, seashells, seahorses and seaweed against a pale aqua background. The mermaids have flowing red, auburn and dark hair, and each lid shows a different arrangement, so the three look lively laid out together. The boxes come in three graduated sizes, and the set measures 11.5cm wide, 11.5cm long and 5.5cm high.
We think they are at their most useful tucked inside a lunch box, keeping crackers, fruit pieces, nuts or half a sandwich apart from everything else. Take them on picnics, trips to the beach and long days out, or use them at home to portion out snacks ahead of a busy week. The mix of sizes means a small handful of berries and a larger serving of pasta salad each have a box that suits them. The playful sea scenes make opening one at lunchtime a small treat, whether at a desk, in the park or on a train.
The bases are made of polypropylene and the lids of polyethylene, a lightweight pairing that keeps the whole set to just 0.15KG, so it adds next to nothing to a bag or rucksack. When they are not in use, the three boxes nest inside one another for compact, easy storage in a kitchen cupboard or drawer. They are not for use in the microwave, so warm food in a separate dish first. As general good practice for plastic, wash them in warm soapy water and dry them well before putting them away. Nested together, they also make a neat and cheerful little present for anyone who packs a lunch.
