Has anyone seen any reasonably priced lunch boxes (Moshi Monster, Monster High, etc). The ones I have found so far (Argos and Woolworths) are £15 (!!!!!!) and I am not prepared to pay that (but don't want to get super plain ones either). Thanks.
I need four for the youngetst ones - have an 'order' from the things for one monster high and one Moshi monsters (the other two haven't decided yet). Luckily boy#1 is quite happy with a clear plastic box.
I bought a cooler bag in Asda yesterday and happened to notice that they'd got quite a few kids' lunch boxes on display, which might meet your requirements. (NB: If you do look for them in Asda you need to know that, in my local store at least, cooler bags and lunch boxes are displayed in two different areas. There are a few in the 'seasonal goods' aisle, alongside barbecue accessories etc, but the place you probably need to look is in the 'regular' aisles, alongside kitchenware, etc).
^ I'm not paying £15! They are insulated soft bag things that ou put the food into. Problem is that they all want ones with Disney stuff on or Moshi monsters, etc which jacks up the price (I have found some that mine want now for £8 each - but they will last the year and will be on their last last legs by next July).
Depending on where you are, of course, you could try gift shops like the seaside type, as they sell lunch boxes: I picked up a Thomas the Tank Engine lunch box for a Christmas present last year for £7.99, and there were others also at around the same price. I believe it is worth looking into.
