Citizenpip: Green Lunch Kits (giveaway and coupon code!)

I happily received this Soup to Nuts waste free lunch kit from Citizenpip. I've quickly adopted it to be my lunch kit, and it has worked very well. I feel especially green and snazzy when I remember to add one of the cloth napkins with the kit so I am completely waste free.

But let me back up.

This is a mom powered business with kits that are better and different because-

"Everything in one kit: It comes with everything you need to pack a reusable lunch - an insulated lunch bag, water bottle, insulated food jar, BPA-free food containers, fork+spoon, and napkins.

Flexible: It has the convenience of coordinated items with the flexibility to work with other types of containers.

Muck-free: All products have been tested by a CPSIA accredited lab to be lead-free, phthalate-free and BPA-free."

(I like that last one very much!)

While the products are made in China, I know they do test everything and take safety very seriously. There are ample BPA free containers for all of your veggies, pretzels, or whatever you want to send with your child or take yourself. The sandwich one is the perfect size. I got a little nervous about the case which keeps food nice and cool, because it seemed a bit like vinyl. But no! Christine assured me it wasn't. Here's what she said:

"The lunch bag is made out of laminated non-woven polypropylene. (Many of the reusable shopping bags at the grocery stores are made out of this material.) The inside liner is aluminum, and the trim is polypropylene as well. The lunch bag has been tested by a CPSIA accredited lab to be lead-free and phthalate-free. It is PVC-free (NO VINYL)."

Fabulous.

And in the Soup to Nuts kit, there is a handy sized thermos for soup (or food jar), made of stainless steel. When you get this kit, you can bring a sandwich or soup and add some variety in your waste free green eating lunch line up.

The only problem I see with these kits is not with Citizenpip. My kit has been pilfered by other people (ie. my husband) and now the parts are spread out throughout the kitchen. So take my advice. Keep it hidden, or under lock and key. With all parts present and accounted for so it is ready when you are. So you won't have to spend your morning going through every blasted drawer looking for the parts.

I guess that is a testament to the usability of the parts. They are all in constant use in our house!

So, let's review:

*Citizenpip is a mom owned, safety conscious and green company
*All parts are PVC, BPA, Phthalate and Lead Free (tested)
*The Soup to Nuts kit gets you:

• 1 insulated lunch bag with nametag and carabiner that easily attaches to a
backpack
• 1 stainless steel water bottle
• 1 stainless steel insulated food jar
• 4 BPA-free airtight food containers
• 1 stainless steel fork + spoon set
• 5 100% cotton napkins (one for each day of the week)

And there is a special fundraising (and greening of lunches) opportunity for schools.

Thanks, Citizenpip for providing parents with a way to take and send waste free lunches to work and school, saving countless plastic bags and packaging from the landfill.
