Description
This set of three square snack boxes wears the vintage apple print, a cheerful retro pattern of whole and halved apples in red, coral and soft pink with teal and mustard leaves, printed on cream lids over bright red bases. Each box has a lid of its own: the largest carries twelve small apples in neat rows, the medium box has four larger apples, and the smallest shows one bold apple with its seeds picked out in pink. The large box is 11.5cm square and 5.5cm deep, the medium box 10.5cm square and 5cm deep, and the small box 9cm square and 4.5cm deep.
Three sizes make the set easy to use through the week: the large box takes a portion of pasta salad or chopped fruit for a packed lunch, the medium box suits crackers and cheese, and the small box is handy for nuts, raisins or a little treat. They slip into a lunch bag, a rucksack or a picnic basket, and look just as cheerful on a desk at work as on the kitchen worktop. When they are empty, the smaller boxes nest inside the largest, so the whole set tucks away in a drawer or cupboard without taking over the shelf.
The bases are made from polypropylene plastic and the lids from polyethylene plastic, each lid fitting over the rim of its base. The bases can go in the dishwasher on the top rack only, while the lids are hand wash only, so a gentle wash in warm soapy water is all they need. The boxes are not for the microwave, so tip food onto a plate before warming it. Pack one for each part of the day, or wrap the set as a cheerful little gift for anyone who likes a well-packed lunch.
