Hot In The Hive: Cheri Bento Box

When it comes to preparing for lunch at work, usually I... well, don't. As much as buying take-out every day burns a whole in my wallet, sometimes I'm just too lazy in the morning to do anything but dress myself and down my mandatory 2 cups of coffee before I hit the road. And when I do muster up the motivation to whip something up, it's usually a slapped-together sandwich and a granola bar thrown in a plastic Safeway bag. Maybe if I had a lunchbox as cute as this Cheri Bento Box, designed by Shinzu Katoh, I might be a little more enthusiastic about saving money, being less wasteful, and incorporating more culinary savvy with my daily on-the-go lunching! It has plenty of pull-out compartments for easy organizing (and more room for the healthy side dishes of my would-be balanced mid-day meal!), yet still remains compact for convenient travel. Plus, it's totally cute... which is my favorite part about it, quite frankly!

Price: $23.99
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Cheri Bento Box to the Hive.
