Snow, rice, snowmen… this selection of festive Bento boxes is brilliant and a great choice if you are fed up with Turkey. I particularly love the where a ‘traditional’ whisky bottle has been replaced with a bottle of soy sauce. It’s just an all around cool concept. Not of all of them rock my world, like the snowman on beef (there is a phrase you will never hear again) who looks like he is on a sea of poop or, more likely, mud.
I also really like the bento gingerbread men where gingerbread has been swapped for cheese.
The reindeer and stars are just too cute to eat. (Is it just me that has a mild phobia of eating star-shaped things?)
I also adore the bento boxes where they tie rice up into cute parcels of joy with seaweed.
