Best. Lunchbox. Ever.

Introducing Goodbyn. This handy little lunchbox is made in the USA from the very best food-safe recyclable plastic. It comes with 275 stickers so you can personalize it any way you want! It's dishwasher safe (the stickers too!) and will save you $190/year per kid if you are used to using plastic bags and juice boxes for school lunches. It comes with 5 sealing compartments and an 8 ounce reusable bottle for your beverage of choice--there's even room for a little ice! All the styles feature a sturdy handle at the top.

These are the kids' version and are great for kids 5 and over. They come in green, orange, pink and blue. The "ears" make the lids easy for small fingers to remove.


These two below are the more "grown up" ones. Just because their colors are more subdued, and they don't have "ears". This series is called "Too cool for ears" and is suggested for adults and kids over 9 years old. Whatever. I'd do the ears ones--they're cuter! Both styles come with 275 stickers to use to personalize your goodbyn. The colors for the earless ones are white, charcoal, plum, and navy.






These are great for school/work lunches, picnics, road trips, and for bringing your lunch to places that charge too much to buy lunch (museums, zoos, etc.) We have all the colors in stock now, and can order more if we run out.

Back to School (window)

I have recently redone the front window of the store. It's almost time for kids to go back to school, so that's the theme for August. Since I don't really sell school supplies, I had to get creative with the theme. . . I found some old school lunch trays at the thrift store, so I made each of them into a little showcase of products that I sell, with a corresponding school name added to highlight them. Here are the trays/themes/products:

Nursery School:
things for babies--toys, bibs, clothing
Obedience School: dog and cat toys and treats
Cooking School: foodstuffs and kitchen things
Beauty School:
bath and body products
Art School: handmade jewelry, hair bows, coasters, candles

I only had 5 trays, so on the side I did a little "Correspondence Course" with note cards and office supplies, and "Play School" with some toys and puzzles scattered around.

Some of the items fit on the trays better than others, but I think it's a cute idea. I also put the little school desk in the window and the dress form is the "teacher" wearing my new T shirt. It says, "Ich Bin Ein Berwyner" and has JFK on it (yes, that's definitely a local product)! I just got a delivery from Sheriff Peanut which consisted of handmade bibs and screen printed onesies for babies, and the aforementioned T shirts for adults. It's all really cute stuff--thanks, Norah!

Other new things that have come in are MORE TOYS from Melissa and Doug (check out their wooden sushi slicing set) and Lauri toys (made in the USA from non-toxic rubber). I remember the Lauri toys from when I was a kid. I still kinda wanna put 'em in my mouth. . .
