PlanetBox

We know our kids can be spacey at times, which is why we’re embracing the outer-space theme in 2012. Inspired by a bento box, the stainless-steel lunch container, PlanetBox is a single container with different shaped compartments (so there’s no distress over the fruit touching the sandwich). We like that it’s eco-friendly, non-toxic and lets our kids have a variety of small, healthy options in their lunch. They like the cool magnets that they can use to personalize it. The verdict is that it’s out of this world. ($39.95 and up, available at planetbox.com)
