Customer Comments

"I just ordered one of your lunch bags online yesterday and when I arrived back at my house today at 11:30 it was waiting for me!!! Fast service!!I am thrilled with the bag it looks cute and I think it will work beautifully. This is our first year with a balanced day so I am trying to figure out the best way to pack lunch. I am very excited to have found your bag. Thank you" ~ Amanda James, Ottawa ON

"The lunch bags are a wonderful concept. Well made, lots of room, lots of fun colours and easy to wash." ~ Linda Kubiak, London ON

"I am loving the double sided lunch bag! It makes packing lunches easier since you simply fill each side with two separate meals. There's no more packing and then having to rethink the contents b/c with this bag you can easily see what the contents are for each lunch. And I LOVE the handy elastic straps/holders inside. They're perfect for keeping small things (i.e. cutlery) in place!" ~ Colleen Da Rosa, London ON

"These Balanced Day lunch kits are awesome and so perfect for the Balanced day breaks at school. They are of great quality and have wonderful pleasing colours. Both my kids enjoy using there new lunch kits." ~ Janet Smith, Woodstock ON

"I went and got the bag....my daughter was so happy with it, her first words were "I know now what to eat at each break!" Thanks again."
~ Lisa Russell Tilbury, ON

"As a mom I was absolutely thrilled to find the balanced day lunch box for my child as it took the stress off of worrying if my child was eating properly throughout the balanced day at school. As a registered nurse I was ecstatic to be able to systematically fill my child's lunch in a balanced lunch box so he could receive the proper nutrition throughout the course of the day to give him both the energy and nutritional value needed to have an optimal learning day at school. Finally a product that works both for mom and child's health and well being!!! Brilliant Bag Ladies!!!!" ~ Wendy Holmes RN, Chatham ON
