Thermos for Back to School

08/16/2010 By Tammi

This year, Thermos is putting the cool into back-to-school with a wide array of new lunch products. Made with quality and performance in mind, parents can trust in using the brand. And, with the kid-approved designs on said products, Thermos is a hit with kids as well.

Thanks to Thermos, my daughter is armed with some new lunch products this year. She got a Disney Princess FUNtainer bottle!
These bottle is packed with some great features:

TherMax® double wall vacuum insulation for maximum cold temperature retention
Hygienic push button lid with pop-up silicone straw is easy to open
Kid-proof design – unbreakable stainless steel interior and exterior withstands daily wear and tear
Dishwasher safe
Non-slip, scratch resistant base

The FUNtainer bottle keeps liquids cold for 12 hours! So, whether you are packing cold water for a hot day, or milk for lunch – rest assured the liquid won’t be warm when the kids have a sip. The push button lid is easy for even a toddler to operate, and the straw is great for preventing spills at school, but also nice for taking in the car and not worrying about any mess!

For foods, Thermos also has a Disney Princess FUNtainer Food Jar. Made with the same quality as the bottles, these feature:

TherMax® double wall vacuum insulation for maximum temperature retention, hot or cold
Unbreakable stainless steel interior and exterior
Extra wide mouth is easy to fill, serve from and clean

I like the versatility in the FUNtainer Food Jar’s since they are functional for both cold or hot foods. So, you can pack fresh fruit and they’ll stay fresh and cold for 7 hours. Or, pack a warm soup on a cold winter day {yep, I just had to mention the inevitable, didn’t I?}, and their soup is hot for 5 hours. That’s just enough time for kids to enjoy at lunchtime. This is beneficial for my daughter, since her school has limited microwaves and they urge parents to avoid bringing meals that need heated. Having the FUNtainer Food Jar will prevent the sandwich rut and allow me the option of always packing a healthy and nutritious lunch.

Lastly, Thermos has a great selection of Lunch Kits, like the Disney Princess one that my daughter received to complete her set. This lunch kit is a generous size, enough to hold all her lunch containers and bottle {yet still light and compact so it’s not cumbersome for a 5 year old to carry}. The inside of the bag has a leak-proof lining, and is also insulated. It has 2 handles for ease of carrying and features an outside pocket, which I plan to put napkins in.

Though we have used these Thermos lunch products for short day trips, Isabelle is so excited for school to begin so she can use them everyday. She loves the designs and is eager to show off her set, to her friends. Thermos offers a complete array of patterned products, and many other licensed characters too. {There’s many to choose from for both genders}. Thermos products are available online and in many stores worldwide.
