Rubbermaid Bento Box-Review and GIVEAWAY!

Last month I was sent a few of Rubbermaid's new Bento Boxes and Toppers to review and let me tell you that this could not have happened at a better time.  Moving into my new sewing studio earlier this summer has left me wanting to find pretty, creative ways to store my craft supplies that aren't in regular use rotation.  You know, my stamps and paper punches, paint supplies, and my overflowing yarn stash.  

Well, enter Rubbermaid's Bento Boxes and Toppers.  These things are genius for the organizational junkie like me.  They come in a variety of decorative fabric designs, I was sent the Paprika (which is a dark red color and perfectly matches the accent colors in my family room, woot!) which are easy to clean with just a wet cloth.  And they are very durable and sturdy and great for stacking.  These boxes are so pretty and so well made you actually want to have them out where everyone can see them, definitely not the plastic storage tubs we are all used to that we keep in our basements.  

There are two pretty neat things about the Bento line that makes them a must have organizational piece in my craft room and home in general.  1) Bento's Flex Dividers-these dividers allow you to customize the inside of your box so that you aren't just storing your stuff you are actually organizing it too.

You simply pop the Flex Divider out (which are found in the corners of the inside of the box) and then pop them back in when they aren't in use.  Genius!  How has this not been thought of before???

2) The Toppers-These actually can serve two purposes, they are a pretty lid for the bento box and you can flip them over to act as a tray for items you use often...like a knitting project, embroidery needles and thread, or your current must-read magazines.

Here is my now neatly organized box o'knitting supplies.  I popped out two of the Flex Dividers to organize my knitting needles, stitch markers, row counters, and other supplies and the rest of the box fit all my yarn perfectly.  AHHH, I just love pretty organization!

Just think of all the stuff you could organize with these new Bento boxes...office supplies, DVDs, board games, magazines, mail, toys.  You name it and you could organize it and store it in these pretty Bentos :-)

So, what do you think...would you like to have your own set of Bentos?  Joann's Stores, Inc and Rubbermaid are giving away a set of Bentos like the ones I received, a $215.93 value, to one of my lucky readers!

To enter, just tell me 'What would you store in your Bentos?'
