In pink :) opinions? Hope I havent made a bad and bought a bad one :/
The size is about right for me based on what I have read and I have also ordered some little soy-sauce bottles! Am going to try and make my first onigiri right now with the stuff I bought in our local Chinese Supermarket, so wish me luck! Never done anything like this before but am really excited! :)
Will try and post the results later! ;)
Looking forward to getting into bentos at last! Dont know why I didnt think of trying it alot sooner!

I like those bento lunch boxes. Very cute.
I would love to buy a nice lunch box, preferably a duo one (with compartments) made from stainless steel. Has anyone see it. This is for my child's school lunches so should not be bigger that 1l.
Many thanks!
Are you talking about the LunchBots Duo box? If so there is a review of it here.
The Big Onigiri.

They looks pretty nifty, ive just ordered an Aladdin Bento Box, is supposed to act like a thermos and keep food warm for a while.
Has anyone tried the new bento cube at bento&co? thoughts/opinions?
I have not used it, but I've seen and handled one. It's like a little version of the Bento Colors bento box line, but it doesn't have the snap closure so you have to keep it closed with the included band.
