No more plastic sandwich and snack bags! ReSnackIt giveaway

Day after day you pack your kid’s sandwich in one plastic bag, his goldfish snack in another plastic bag, and you send him out with trash to throw away. Every day, your kid goes to school, unwraps her sandwich, eats her goldfish, and tosses the disposable baggies away.

Every day. Two, sometimes three pieces of plastic into the landfill five days a week, almost all year round. What would that look like if you stacked it all up in your house?

There’s a fabulous mom-owned business that can put an end to that terrible landfill we call lunch.  Her company is called Live and Dream Green, and the product is ReSnackIt. Imagine sliding your kid’s sandwiches and snacks into pure cotton pouches lined with an unbleached nylon that’s lead free, phthalate free, BPA free and PVC (vinyl) free.

Live and Dream Green LLC was founded by a Mom who dreams of a greener world and believes being environmentally friendly does not mean sacrificing convenience and style.

After running out of plastic sandwich/snack bags for her kids’ school lunch one day, she knew there had to be a better way… then was born “ReSnackIt”™.

After the jump, my review of this fabulous product and how YOU CAN WIN a set of snack and sandwich bags.

 

I fell in love with these bags the moment I unwrapped them. Beautifully made, with quality craftsmanship my craftsman heritage instantly appreciated. Sturdy. Playful. Important.

The nylon does a great job of wicking any stray moisture away, and the sandwiches stay moist. The velcro is well secured to the pouches and does a good job of keeping closed. My son loved them, and I’m going to order him a set, too. Maybe the baseball ones, though I love so many of the prints. Maybe Galaxy or Bubbles. I might get some for me, too.

If you want to own this lovely set of one snack bag in Green Trellis and sandwich bag in Peace Out, leave me a comment here with a valid email address in the proper field. I’ll draw the winner on Friday morning.

And if you’re so inclined to order some, please tell her that Solomother sent you. You can view her whole collection, here.

    I’m going to the website to buy some, but a few free ones wouldn’t hurt. I’m always carrying around snacks for the family.
