The First Bento Giveaway!
So… here we go! The first giveaway!
This is the bento set I’m putting up as a prize for all you loyal viewers — and it’s a shameless attempt at getting more of you to comment!
Yeah… you! I see you… don’t think I don’t. 
This bento box was part of a large order I made from Daiso back when I was in the first throws of my bento love and had ideas of giving them out as gifts to the people in my life. (An idea that quickly died when I realized that not everyone would want to pack their food like this or find storage space for odd little boxes and accessories.)
It includes a “Urara” two-tiered snack box and a two-tiered lunch box.
The lunch box has a volume of 250 ml (8.45 oz) in the bottom tier and and the top tier holds 330 ml (11.15 oz)
The snack box seems much smaller but holds quite a bit.
They are both microwave-able and dishwasher safe. Just remove the inner lids when doing so (and wash them by hand.)
I’m including two elastic straps, a case for your chopsticks, two silicon cups, a package of vegetable-shaped food picks, and a package of baran (the paper “grass” dividers you see in sushi places.)
This is a picture of my personal set, by the way. Your’s is still in its original wrappers!
I have an extra surprise that I’ve tucked into the shipping box that only the winner will get to see….
And how do you become the winner and claim this amazing prize? Tell ‘em, Jim!
To be eligible to win this fabulous gift pack, all you have to do is comment to this post by answering this burning question:
“What is your middle name pet’s name [ed. - yeesh, I got that wrong! Not to worry, all variations already posted qualify!) and the name of the street you grew up on." (Also known as the "how to determine your stripper name" game.)
The contest will close on Wednesday at 5PM (EST) and I'll try to announce the winner that night.
Good luck to everyone -- and send me those comments!
(a.k.a. "Marie Fetcher [ed.] Puritan” — no joke!)
I’d be Jean Nottingham – but don’t enter me in the contest. With Tom and I moving in together I have NO room for more stuff. In fact today’s job is to try to fit 3 mor boxes of “stuff” into an already jammed apartment. Sigh. It will be worth it, It will be worth it. It will be worth it….
Elizabeth Stevens!
Wow! How generous of you! I’m one of those anonomus lurkers – -so you flushed me out!
Nichole North Country
My middle name is Elizabeth. As far as the street I grew up on – too many to pick just one. We moved every 2 years, because my dad was in the Navy. The last one (8th grade through High school) was Cambell. So, my boring, uninteresting stripper name would be Elizabeth Campbell.
I thought the game was the name of your first pet and the town where you were born. (then I’d be Flash Falmouth). But if it’s my middle name and street where I grew up, that makes me Marie Litchfield and that makes me sound more like a piano teacher than a stripper.
On a different note: I’d like to share a lesson that I learned. If you let your teenager pack their own bento and make them responsible for handling their own bento lunch, you are likely to find in your kitchen sink a bento box with leftover tuna, tomatoes and yogurt from 2 weeks ago. Said box is now sitting in the sink with a mixture of hot water and bleach in it.
Sorry for the additional post, but using your formula, my daugther would be:
Kyung Sook Spit Brook. That’s going to be difficult to top.
Marie Nan Wesley
is the name!! Awesome bento items!!!!!!!
HMMM not to colorful but it would be
Mareline RD4
I grew up waaaaayyyyyyy back in the country in Ky. We didn’t have street names. Sounds like a droid stripper!
Debra Garden!
Aaaack — I can’t believe I goofed! It’s your PET’s NAME and street you grew up on. (I blame my caffeine-deprived state this morning for the error.)
So, keep ‘em coming — even if you’re not interested in the bento box! I love seeing the results.
My first dog was named Fetcher (because she brought back all the rotten apples we threw onto the field to keep the bees away) and I lived on Puritan Road — doncha think that “Fetcher Puritan” is a GREAT stripper name?
Eileen
By amazing coincidence, I too was born on Puritan Road. And remember Fetcher fondly (she was called Honeysuckle when we adopted her, so you could be Honeysuckle Puritan…that’s pretty freaky).
I think of Colorful the cat as my first pet, so I’d be Colorful Puritan. Woo-woo!!
Seeing as how you NAMED her Colorful, you get to take credit for it and should use it as your stripper name!
Eileen
Valerie Laverne
See I don’t follow directions well at all…. I went and typed the middle name. Sorry the correct answer should be:
Baby Laverne
My pet is Brandy and I grew up on Bradhurst Ave.
Brandy Bradhurst is an excellent stripper name! Also good for a B-list Hollywood starlet…perfect for The Bachelorette.
Jeez Eileen, you’re gonna love this one!!
“Bruno Ballylummin”
The only pet I had was a horse. So I’d be:
Lightning Nan Wesley
Toby Warwick . . . not quite a stripper name . . . more like a roving reporter.
Geesh…mine sounds more like a game show host….Bob Bernard. Unless you use my sons cat’s name, then it would be Cupcake Bernard.
Snoopy Stevens.
Duchess Shackelford – yep that sounds like a stripper name if I ever heard one!
(I don’t need to be entered in the contest either, but what a fun game Eileen!)
Peppi Brooke would be my stripper name.
“Muffin Springertown” Hee Hee
I’d be Penelope Plymouth–definitely a porn name!
Eieleen, I just saw this!! I’m probably too late, but will respond anyway!
I would be Snuggles Marsham! Does sound like a stripper!
I need to respond, also late, but maybe worth the wait.
Bootsie Owens is my stripper name!
