Can you test some of the other lunch bento boxes on the market? I really like your site, however, the focus on vintage pieces which I see overwhelmingly contain the nasties aren’t practical to sift through. The indexing needs improvement as well. For new moms for example looking to buy stuff for our kids (new). I don’t know when I’m going to ever give my kid or let my kid play with vintage things (I’m not).
