Wonderful Bag!!!

 

by Tandalee H - 01/2010

I bought both the monkey and the mouse lunch bags for my two little girls and they absolutely LOVE them! I did numerous amounts of research on the internet and found this to be the best lunch bag. I am able to pack both a lunch and dinner in there with some snacks for my little ones when they go to daycare. The bottom really expands beyond what I expected. I am very pleased with this purchase!

This is our second Mimi the Sardine lunch bag as I was tired of my kids fighting over the only one we had....I now have happiness at my house. Do not pause and think twice about buying this as it cleans up easy, has a flat bottom and holds lunch perfectly. I love this lunch bag!

This is a great bag. My daughter has used it for 3 years now and it is still in great shape. This bag is very easy to clean. Sometimes I wish it was a bit bigger, but it fits plenty for a decent sized lunch for a child.

by Jinda A - 07/2009

Very cute - my kids love them. They will hold a smallish food container and a sippy cup. Very easy to clean!

This bag is great

This bag is great. It is the perfect size for a kid's lunch. The quality is very good and I have no issues with it. We've been using it for about a month now. The only slight concern I have is that it looks a bit like a purse (the handles) and my son was teased at first that he was carrying a purse. I try not to get caught up in gender stereotypes and he has gotten over it and now loves his bag.

Very cute and will hold all my daughter needs for

 

by Kari C - 06/2009

Very cute and will hold all my daughter needs for lunch at school! I would have bought two but they do not have designs tailored to boys out of kindergarten.

Cool bag, fits all of my daughter´s snacks but it doesn´t really keep drinks cold so I wouldn´t consider this one an insulated bag.

I really love my Mimi the sardine lunch bag!

 

by Camille D - 03/2009

I really love my Mimi the sardine lunch bag! It's cute, and it fits in my school bag. It's a little bit small (I can't put my water bottle or a thermos in it with the rest of my lunch, but it's ok, I just keep them seperate.) I bought some Wrap-N-Mats, so they help me get everything I want in my lunch bag since they're less bulky than regular plastic containers. This really is a great product, and it holds a lot for the room that it takes. I recommend it to people of any age! It's also a pretty good price for such a nice lunch bag. (Also a great design/shape, very space efficient)

Ok

Ok...so I know this is probably a product for kids, but I bought it for myself and have gotten quite a few compliments! It is super whimsy and has a special coating on it so that you can wipe it clean. It is made in the USA which in my book gives it extra brownie points. It is well constructed and I am sure I will use this for a long time. The only thing I wish is that it was a little bigger.

This is the perfect lunch bag

 

by Barbara D - 02/2009

This is the perfect lunch bag. I have to share refrigerator space with co-workers and this bag holds my lunch and doesn't take up too much space. I love the design also.

My five year old loves her lunch bag

 

by Erin W - 10/2008

My five year old loves her lunch bag. It is fashionable, safe, and fits her whole lunch along with a sippy cup and cold pack...what more could you ask for!

This is an adorable lunchbag

 

by Kathi J - 09/2008

This is an adorable lunchbag. I love the fun colors, shape and handles. The only two problems I have are it "sweats" if you put a cold pack in it and it is really not medium sized. I find it to be kind of small. Still, because it is so cute, I just have adjusted the types of containers I use. Besides, it may just turn out to be a fabulous diet tool. Less food, less pounds! :)

Love it!

 

by E. Y - 09/2008

Love it! It's light yet durable, and it's roomy enough to fit a sandwich, snack and juice box or water bottle. I'll be buying another one next year for my other daughter when she starts school!
