Birthday Bash: Yubo Lunchbox Review & Giveaway

Tobin is now at the age where a lunchbox would really come in handy! We are constantly eating lunches at the park, in the car, at Grandma's, and on-the-go! I am trying to be more green, so I wanted a lunchbox for Tobin to use rather than paper and plastic bags. So, when I started looking for cute, eco-friendly lunchboxes, I discovered Yubo.

About Yubo (from their website)

In 2007, while making lunches for our two daughters, we became frustrated with the amount of plastic baggies used every day. The typical store bought lunchboxes we owned were impossible to clean, they collected crumbs and foul old-food odors. Worst of all, our kids were over the novelty of their lunchboxes less than a week after buying them! That was the start of our journey to re-invent the lunchbox. We knew there had to be a better way. We set out to balance our passion for the environment with our kids' passion for having fun.


We started the design development with lofty goals. We wanted to make the lunchbox customizable, interactive, fun, flexible, functional, washable, ecological, colorful, beautiful, and of course, very cool and loaded with personality. Yubo had to be something both kids and parents would love. The evolution of yubo took over a year, after hundreds of sketches, CAD diagrams, models, and protoypes, yubo was finally born. At last, a lunchbox that’s simple, clean, functional, eco-friendly and fun!

My Review
We received the Deluxe Yubo Lunchbox with the Nature Faceplate Set. The Deluxe Yubo Lunchbox includes a standard faceplate set, 1 large sandwich size container, 2 small round containers, and an icepack Here are some other great features of the lunchbox:

•Measures 9.8 inches wide x 6.9 inches tall x 3.5 inches deep
•BPA-free
•All lunchboxes contain a food-safe, anti-microbial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria
•100% dishwasher safe (top rack recommended)
•Soft handle and lightweight design - comfortable for kids to carry!
•100% recyclable
•Ships within 2-3 business days

Tobin was so excited when his lunchbox arrived and he immediately started filling it up with snacks. I love that we are no longer using baggies when packing Tobin a lunch or snack, so I know we are helping the environment. The containers fit perfectly in the lunchbox and holds plenty of food. Here is an example of one of Tobin's lunches:

We were able to fit half of a sandwich, string cheese, yogurt melts, and goldfish crackers in the lunchbox. There was even still room for a treat! The containers keep the food fresh and are easy to open.

I was a little worried about the fact that there really wasn't a whole lot of room for a drink. Then I found out that you can purchase a drink holder that attached to the outside of the lunchbox. You can put a water bottle, juice box, or some other type of drink it. So I was excited about that!

My favorite part about the lunchbox is the templates. You can change the templates so that way you could have a new lunchbox almost every day (if you bought that many templates of course)! You can even get personalized templates as well as upload a picture!

Tobin loves his lunchbox and I like that it's the perfect size for him and since everything is in individual containers, it's great to take in the car!

So make lunch time fun as well as become more "green" with the Yubo Lunchbox!
