Description
This set of three nesting snack boxes carries the cheerful woodland print across every lid. On a cream ground there is a pale blue bear, an orange fox, a yellow deer, a red squirrel, a pink rabbit, a little bird and a frog, scattered among flowers and leaves. Each box is square with softly rounded corners, and its cream lid sits over a coloured base. One base is turquoise, one is green and one is orange, so the boxes are easy to tell apart at a glance. Nested together, the set measures 11.5cm long, 11.5cm wide and 5.5cm high, and the whole trio weighs just 0.15KG.
Three sizes in one set means there is a box for most things. The smallest takes a few crackers, some chopped fruit or a handful of nuts, and the largest holds something more generous. They slip easily into a lunch bag or a rucksack for work, picnics and days out. They are just as handy at home for keeping small portions tidy in the kitchen. The bright print makes a packed lunch feel like more of a treat, and the three colours make it simple to keep one person's food apart from another's.
The bases are made from polypropylene and the lids from polyethylene, two light plastics that keep the set easy to carry. When they are not in use, the boxes nest one inside another, so the set stores neatly in a drawer or cupboard. The bases can go in the dishwasher on the top rack only, while the lids must be washed by hand. None of the set is for use in the microwave. Filled with a few favourite treats, it makes a cheerful little gift. Otherwise, keep it by the kettle ready for tomorrow's snacks.

Frequently Asked
How big are the snack boxes?
Nested together, the set measures 11.5cm long, 11.5cm wide and 5.5cm high, with three boxes in graduated sizes that fit one inside another.
Can the snack boxes go in the dishwasher?
The bases can go in the dishwasher on the top rack only. The lids are hand wash only, so a rinse in warm soapy water is all they need.
Can I use them in the microwave?
No, none of the boxes are for use in the microwave, so warm any food in a separate dish before packing it.
What are the snack boxes made from?
The bases are polypropylene and the lids are polyethylene, so the whole set of three weighs only 0.15KG and is easy to carry.
What colours are the boxes?
All three have cream lids printed with woodland animals and flowers. The bases are turquoise, green and orange, one colour for each box.
Do they store away neatly?
Yes, the three boxes nest one inside another when they are not in use, so they take up very little room in a drawer or cupboard.
