utensil reuse for lunchbox?
I'm at a total loss. I need some way to send a fork and a spoon to school with my son where the fork/spoon are reusable and come back home and the *container* is also reuable. I just can't stand sending utensils out in a little plastic baggie every single day. It drives me nuts to toss the baggie at the end of the day. I want some sort of hard case I can stuff utensils into that then goes into the dishwasher with the fork and spoon. I found the 'Sassy' utenstil carrier but it seems to fit toddler sizes forks and spoons not anything larger -- does anyone have this who can give me the measurements? Second I found a lot of hello kitty fork-spoon-chopstick combos in plastic containers but they are all $16 or more! *Sigh* I really don't understand why this would be so hard to find. --Carolyn -- Carolyn Fairman http://www.stanford.edu/~cfairman/ |

... Second I found a lot of hello kitty fork-spoon-chopstick combos in plastic containers but they are all $16 or more! If its the price you don't like, there are a bunch on eBay, if you don't mind that forum. Just search "fork spoon chopsticks" (seriously). The upside is most are around $5. The downside is that you have to pay shipping, which is also around $5. Still cheaper than $16. There are also some sans chopsticks if you do a search for "fork spoon" or "fork spoon set," but you have to look a little harder for the ones that come in cases. You can get utensil sets in camping stores and the like as well. Some come with cases. beeswing |

I'm following up myself, which is difficult because I just posted and
of course it hasn't shown up yet. Re eBay searches: if you want a set with a case, it's "fork spoon case" or "fork spoon case -chopstick." Should have occurred to me right off. (And no, this isn't at all useful info if you don't shop eBay.) beeswing, eBay shopper |

Go to a camping equipment store and get one of those sets where they are all secured together. Or, put them in the lunch box and tell the kid to bring them home at the end of the day, inside the lunch box. Heck, I do that for lunch nearly every work day! -Aula -- see my creative works on ebay under aulame 123 |

Call me a neatnik but a loose spoon before eating would get dirty and then *after* applesauce, yogurt, etc, a loose spoon would get the inside of the lunchbox dirty. I just want some plastic case that would isolate the utensils before and after use. Loose wouldn't work for me. --Carolyn -- Carolyn Fairman http://www.stanford.edu/~cfairman/ |

(And no, this isn't at all useful info if you don't shop eBay.) Thanks! I feel like a I have a starting place. I think I was unclear initially. I want to send a fork/spoon that is going to come home again and *not* get thrown out. So it bothered me that to keep it clean (the inside of the lunchbox, 2 months into school, is pretty icky) I needed to send a baggie each day that got ... thrown out. These cases might do the trick, but I'll check out local Japanese stuff stores before I pay $7 in shipping. Carolyn -- Carolyn Fairman http://www.stanford.edu/~cfairman/ |

RealGoods (www.realgoods.com) has Wrap'N Mats , cool little re-usable,
washable pouches to put sandwiches. Perhaps they have utensils, too! --Larry -- Dr. Larry Bickford, O.D. Family Practice Eye Health & Vision Care The Eyecare Connection http//www.eyecarecontacts.com larrydoc at m a c.c o m |
