Metal lunch boxes like the olden days, only way cooler

Remember back when lunch boxes were actually metal? I had a Holly Hobby one I adored (no cracks about my age, please!), though if I'd had the option of having my name on the box I probably would've happily chucked Holly for that.

Name Your Design is covering eco-friendly, lead-free tin lunch boxes in cute designs featuring your child's name. But that's not the only reason they're cool. They're taking the retro metal lunch box one step further with a chalkboard surface inside the lid. Write a sappy note, draw a little picture, or remind kids to turn in their homework.

Hey, if it's too embarrassing, they can erase it before their friends see.
They're also perfect for art supplies, collections, or various treasures. (Unexpectedly awesome and reusable Easter "basket," anyone?) And that's good to keep in mind if the price seems a little steep. While they're expensive compared to canvas, these large, sturdy metal boxes will outlast lunch sacks in both durability and useful application. Just don't change your kid's name and you should be all set. -Mir
