School lunches are one of those places where it can be easy to “go green”. Trade in plastic baggies for reusable cloth bags, pack cloth napkins, reusable utensils and bring along a stainless steel drink bottle.
There is one more step you can take to make your child’s lunch extra eco-friendly – choose a stainless steel lunch box. Unlike many plastics, stainless steel is non-toxic and doesn’t leach, it can also be recycled.
The PlanetBox lunch box is the modern kid’s lunch box. It has five individual compartments, one large enough for a sandwich and the others easily accommodate fruits and vegetables. The smallest compartment is perfect for a small handful of your child’s favorite treat. For messy foods like cottage cheese, you can put them in the Little or Big Dipper stainless steel container. The lid is made with food-grade silicone rubber.
One of my favorite features, and the most unique, is the magnet themes you can attach to the front of the PlanetBox. This allows the lunch box to grow with your child – no more replacing it each year to go with your child’s latest whims. With seven themes, you’re bound to find one that your child will dig. I’m sure you can expect PlanetBox to add more themes each year.
If you’re looking for more padding, you can pick up a carry bag. Made with recycled polyester, it has a pouch on the front that is perfect for a cloth napkin and utensils. It also has a drink holder, great for a stainless steel bottle.
It’s obvious that PlanetBox was designed by parents and tested by kids because nothing was left out!
WHERE TO BUY: You can buy PlanetBox lunch boxes online.

I follow you on Twitter (@EricaJulien)
Wow! This is just what I have been looking for- my son would love the rocket theme! I love them all!
Rainbow all the way!!!!
My 7 year old daughter would just flip to have this to eat her lunch from. She currently uses a plastic lunch box (think Tupperware except it isn’t) that is divided to hold her sandwich, veggies, fruit and occasionally a treat.
How cool that you are giving this away:)
I have been trying to figure out how to start sending my five kids w/ their lunches. I hate how the plastic is difficult to clean and i do not want to waste the baggies- these boxes would be awesome. I think my two teenage boys would get a kick out of the modern art ones. thanks for turning me on to these- would love to win one….
The kitty magnets would be a favorite to go with our 3 creatures in the house!
I love the Green Globe so I can use it for either of my kids. That said my daughter would go crazy for the Rainbow and my son the Rockets.

I would love this for my son. He starts school next year.

My favorite is the Modern Art, but I think my 4 year-old would pick the rockets. Fabulous idea, I will definitely buy one … unless I get one for free 🙂
Idea
how about creating a farm based theme. relating what you eat to a family organic sustainaible farmer. I am a 3rd gen. Organic Valley framer and this could connect kids and the environment
I’d go with the rockets for my son, very cute and clever

I LOVE the Under the Sea theme. My girls would truly enjoy taking these to school. Great giveaway!

Personally I like the retro art one if I had a choice, but I know my son would love the Under the Sea one!
These are ADORABLE!! Love it!! Hope I win!
I LOVE the Modern Art theme and would LOVE to have one of these for my kids!!

The rainbow set is really cute. There always is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So, it is a positive inspiration for me.
My 6 year old son isn’t into sports, but would love the rockets or under the sea themes. My personal fav is retro kitty.
I love Retro Kitty.
I like the modern art set.
I like the Modern Art magnes most of all. Thanks.

They are all great, but my whole family loves anything that has to do with “under the sea.”
I love the Modern Art lunchbox!
I like the green globe…very cook idea

I love the Rocket theme the best and my 5 year old son agrees with me!
I must say, I’m somewhere between the Modern Art theme and the Rockets theme. Although, I would be completely content going zen and choosing no theme at all. ^_^
Uh oh! My son loves the sports theme, under the sea and the rockets! I’m in trouble. 😉
We love anything with a space like theme. The rocket ship is our favorite. 🙂
I love these!!!
For me: the retro kitty
For my daughter: rainbow theme
Thanks!
under the sea or rainbow my dtr would love both
My son would love the rockets. I love the idea of a non-plastic box, and that the magnets are interchangeable. I also love the ice pack feature and the storage compartment for a watter bottle. I showed the pictures on their site to my son and he actually got excited about the way the food looked. It’s a struggle to get him to eat, but this might be an eye-appealling way to get him excited about it, as well as helping Mom and Dad prep his lunches for him.
wow, I just found you and am already very impressed. I love the under the sea theme.. very cute.
also followed on twitter @littleelfing
thanks a ton, cant wait to explore more on the site.
My boys would love the rocket theme!
definetely the rainbow 🙂
Oh so hard to choose a favorite! I would be afraid to tell my daughter that the magnets are interchangeable because she’d probably take them off at school and lose one, so I’d have to get just the perfect one for her… it would have to be the Rainbow pattern (complete with unicorn!).
wow, these look awesome ~ exactly what i’ve been looking for! my daughter loves the kitty & my son is crazy about rockets 🙂 Thanks for sharing this great company!
I love the under the water theme!
followed you on twitter and RTed
I love the green globe theme! Thanks for the opportunity.
love the “under the sea” theme
My toddler son would love the rocket theme! He would be the coolest kid at his preschool!
The Retro Kitty theme is super cute!
I’d go for either the kitties or rocket ships. Could you do one of Hubble telescope pictures too, or something similar?
I like the Kitty!
The “Under the Sea” is my daughters favorite!
The Sports Balls and Rockets are perfect for my little boy! Overall I have to say that PlanetBox is a fantastic eco-friendly idea and I plan on spreading the word!
I love the green globe. What you really need is an ecology flag (I still have mine from the ’70s!)
Modern Art!!
I love the rocket theme!

Retro Kitty is actually my favorite – tho the modern art is pretty fitting for a lunchbox with the iconic campbell soup and bananas…..
I Love the Modern Art theme. What a great ecofriendly idea!!! And we are all going green in our home.
My son and I looked at the different art work he likes the sports I like the modern art. He asked if he didnt win could I buy him one. I said yes but keep your fingers crossed….lol

Modern Art all the way!
What a cool lunch box. I’d love to see adult themes.
i love all of them but i gotta say the “modern art” theme looks really cool. 🙂
Excellent, Excellent product! the changeable magnet idea was genius! I am a Cat Lady and I love the Kitties for me or daughter. The Rockets are very cool and Retrp looking, perfect for a son. I love the Art Box and the Sports is very versital also. The Rainbow box is so girley and cheery and the Under the Sea so cute!
I would have to buy several and inter change them.
I think my son would be very verrrrrry happy with this cool lunchbox, especially with the ROCKETS theme! Thanks for the chance at winning 🙂
Green Planet is great!
My daughter could really use this.
I think my favorite magnet set would be the modern art set.
My son would love the rockets…. but he won’t need a lunch box until the fall, so I would love using the retro kitty magnets until then. And maybe at that point, I’d have to buy my own set!
great art
I love the retro kitties, though my son would flip for the rocket magnets!!
What an absolutely awesome green way of bringing lunch to school!
my favorite theme is the modern art one!
I ♥ the Under the Sea theme

I follow you on twitter @artemis432 I figured out how to do this! usually the comment section is at the bottom so I was entering it at the website – there is no clue that this is the comment section – I just had to clck around. I also can’t see the boxes for name and email.
My son, a picky eater, would love this. I went to the planetbox site and showed him some pics. He’s actually excited to have lunch this way. He likes the rocket one, but also the enviromental-friendly globe one too. It’s a great way to make healthy eating more exciting, esp. to a visual kid. I’m following you on twitter. Thanks for sharing this info!

We happen to have two kitties, one is all white and the other is a black Tuxedo Cat (white paws, chest and tummy…) so the magnets are soooo perfect!
