Description:

I just learned about bento boxes recently and I love kawaii. So I thought I would throw two great things together for a swap!

Simple Swap, buy or get a bento box in mint condition, kawaii themed box prefered and fill it up kawaii style.

Things to include could be:

  • deco tape
  • ribbon
  • stickers
  • buttons
  • key chains
  • candy
  • mini plush
  • hand made goodies
  • scrapbooking goodies
  • bento goodies
  • hair/makeup goodies
  • loose memos
  • etc.

Most people will want REAL Kawaii like Hello Kitty, Sanrio. So try to limit the number of 'fake' kawaii goodies or make those the filler items.

No price limit just PLEASE send something you would love to have.

Rules: - NO no-sends in the past 3 months - No rating under a 3.5 - NEWBIES with filled profiles MUST pm me to join - I will go through all of the swappers before I assign swap partners

Any other questions PLEASE ask away! And let me know if there is anyone out there that is a flake. I HATE making cool packages and getting nothing! It has happened twice in a month to me.

Start swapping!

Because these can get pretty heavy, this swap will be US and Canada only.

What is a bento box? You think Id know since Ive been into kawaii for awhile. Anyone have a pic or something?

I found them but just typing in bento boxes in flicker. I founds mine at deals, lol. They are plastic boxes that are used in Japan I believe for lunches. In other words, it's a lunch box, lol. Just looks different.

One of the guys I work with is Japanese and the first time I brought in one of my Bento boxes he said "OMG! I use to carry one of those for lunch in Japan! It's a Bento Box!" and I said "Steve! They had bento boxes 40 years ago?!" Apparently, its not a new thing :P! I wish he still had his - they've gotta be collectors items by now! He said he use to have an astro boy one :)

Anyway - you can get really cute ones for great prices on ebay! Just search "Bento Box"

bento boxes have been used in japan for a LONG time and still are. if you go to a sumo match in japan, a lot of times they hand out bento boxes filled with food at the door. not the cutesie, plastic kawaii kind, but the traditional lacquered wood kind.

just to let you kawaii lovers know, the stores deals and dollar tree have 2 tier bento boxes with hello kitty on them with different designs and colors to choose from! the best part, they are only $1.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JunkySweet I wish I knew where you lived--our Dollar Tree doesn't have anything like bento boxes where I live. And I've never heard of a store called deals. I really want to sign up for this swap, but I don't know where I'm going to find a bento. I have yet to find any here. Oh well, maybe next time. blessings, Gypsy
