Belated TRH 3rd Anniversary Giveaway!

I had a month long TRH Anniversary giveaway in September, and I had one more giveaway planned, then my health issue got in the way. So, this is kind of random, but here is the last item for my 3rd Anniversary giveaway...


Japanese bento box and a carrying pouch. I wanted to do something that would reflect my blog and things that I’ve posted about. Then I remember many of you wanted to know where you can purchase a bento box like mine... But a bento box is a little boring. So, I decided to make a carrying pouch to go with it. Do you like the fabric? Seriously, it took me such a long time to decide on which fabric combination to go with.


I have the exact same bento box and I love it. I love how the divider can come off and that I can use it in different ways.



I posted about my Japanese style bento here and here, but you can certainly put in anything you want. How about some crackers, grapes, and some cute sandwiches? The possibilities are endless and I think you will have fun!

Here is how to enter:

1. Usual comment is fine, but can you tell me what you would put in to the bento box? I think that will be fun for everyone to read and get some ideas. :) (1st entry)

2. Become a follower of Tea Rose Home. (2nd entry)

3. Facebook, Tweet, or blog about the giveaway. (3rd entry)

That's it! I will run the giveaway until midnight of the 9th and post the winner on the 10th. Good luck!

    OOH! i've always wanted a bento box, but have been to picky to pick one. I would put snacky foods for lunch. cheese cubes, crackers, cubes of meat, grapes, apple slices. at some point i want to learn to make fancy ones, but i'm not sure if i'm up to the challenge! thanks for the giveaway! so happy to hear you are doing better!

    I love to be proactive and always have anything I need on hand, so I though the perfect thing would be to use the bento in the van as a first aid/necessity kit for my kids and me!

    I would use the bento box for snack lunches at the park with my toddler. My brother just moved to Kyoto as the hand his new wife wait for her green card to be processed. They have just told us though that most likely they won't be coming back to the US. I'm happy for them, that they live in a place they love so much. But I'm so sad for us, especially that my 20 month old won't have them as a regular part of his life. I imagine using the bento box as a touch point to tell Eli all about his Uncle Kevin and Aunt Misa so they seem more "real" to him.

    It would depend on the day, but we do a lot of beans, rice, and veggies around hear. I love the idea of using cookie cutters to make sandwiches or cheese slices a little more fun. :)

    Hi Sachiko,

    I posted about your bento box and carrying pouch giveaway on my blog about sustainable food and living, 3E4Life. It's a perfect way to have a no-waste meal. I'd love to win it myself, and would take left-overs, yogurt & granola, or salad ingredients to keep it healthy and economical!

    Best,
    Dianne

    I would love a bento box! I've been so curious about them but never have the money to buy one. I would use it for school lunches. I'm a college student and sometimes classes (or other workload) doesn't allow for a trip to the dining hall, or, lunch would be a better option to dinner. It would be great for that!
