**It's my 2nd Blogiversary and I'm celebrating all week! This is the second of 4 giveaways so make sure that you come back each day to see what else is happening around here!**
Ever wished that you could ditch the plastic food storage containers and use something that you didn't worry was going to shatter?
That's what I love about these stainless steel food containers! Safe and toxin-free, not to mention affordable, they just make so much sense. I know that so many of you, like myself, are trying hard to get the toxins out of your home and especially your kitchen. When it comes to products you're putting your food in, you can't really be safe enough, can you?
A particular concern with food and storage is the issue of heat. When hot or even warm food goes into a plastic container, chemicals can leach out of the plastic straight into the food. Not to mention the fact that plastic has no ability to insulate the food and keep it either hot or cold.
That's where this beauty of a container comes in (it really is cool looking, isn't it?). Meet the Tiffin.
Made of double-walled stainless steel, with three different tightly-sealed layers, this makes the ideal lunch box. It keeps food either hot or cold for hours, depending what you're in the mood for. It has a 1.8 L capacity, so there's no way you'll go hungry! If I could be so lucky as to win my own giveaways (if only... shucks!), I would love to use this baby for taking hot food with us on road trips so that we didn't have to bring a cold, bagged lunch or eat out. What would you use it for?
This is just one of the many novel products that Carolyn has to offer over at The Tickle Trunk. As a conscientious mom, she experienced the challenge of trying to find safe alternatives to plastic (nasty chemicals) and glass (because broken glass and children just don't go together- ask me how I know!). Recognizing the lack of truly affordable and quality stainless steel products out on the market, she set out to find the best that she could, with the intent of selling them at prices that won't break the bank. I think she's succeeded!
Here's a sampling of her other products:
Water bottles (we own several and love them!)
Various round and rectangular food storage containers, ranging from baby-food size all the way up to 2, 4 or even 6 litres!
Ice cube trays (see my review)
Straws! (I just discovered this new addition to her site, and let me tell you, I'm a happy woman!)
And more...
With Christmas coming up, these products would be a wonderful (and really, a frugal) way to bless someone with healthier kitchen accessories (I think that I see stainless steel straws in someone's future...). Who wouldn't be thrilled to receive a deluxe lunchbox or that pink water bottle they've been dreaming of?
As for today, someone has a chance to win that incredible Tiffin highlighted above. Anyone interested???

This giveaway has now ended. Thanks to all who entered! Winner will be announced shortly!
sounds awesome! I wanna win it. I really like the stainless steal water bottles.
Love the stainless steel straws!!!!
I would say straws are my favorite, as my toddler loves straws and I have been looking for a "green" alternative that is reusable (good stewardship!).

I would love a food container!! thanks for the giveaway : )
The stainless steel straws would be awesome for smoothies...and water bottles are always a good thing!!

I'd like to see a water bottle that comes with a strap so kids can wear it and not lose it.
I love the pink water bottle and the straws!
I would like to see muffin tins in their store.
I really like the Tiffin! It is so great for lunches!
Happy Blogiversary!
I love our stainless steal water bottles. It is so nice to know that nothing is contaminated. The stainless steal is clean and I purify the water at home.
Oh, I would love the food storage! I really want to get rid of all the plastic in our house.
I just blogged about this contest!

I love everything...especially the lunch box. My husband would love it.
Because I'm obsessed with lunch boxes, the tiffin is definitely my favorite item. More practically speaking, though, I'm seriously considering buying those water bottles as Christmas gifts this year. They're so much more reasonably priced than Klean Kanteen's bottles. Also very curious about the straws.
I have to pick just one?! I love those straws and I sure could use some of those storage containers. Though, the ice cube tray would be wonderful to freeze all sorts of things... Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

I have successfully converted to glass storage except for my one LARGE plastic container that I use for bulk soups. It would be great to have the 6.0 L food container so that I could finally say goodbye to the last of my plastic!
I'd love to have one of the 16oz pink water bottles.
Hi, these stainless steel food storage items are looking really good. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Hi, these Stainless Steel Food Storage items are looking good. They have proper finishing mainly due to use of stainless steel.
Bowls would be great to go with the plates and cups! Thanks for the fun giveaways. Have a joyful day!
The straws look too good to be true! My boys would love using them.
I really like the lunch containers. I never know what to put my husband's lunch in each day. These would be great!
I like the two layer lunch box! That would be fun to pack my husbands lunch in.

I have to say, I'm surprised there aren't more dishes offered. I would really like to have stainless steels bowls that I could use for my son.
Ok, those straws are so cool! Would love to own most of those items.
I LOVE the straws and the Tiffin!
Tweeted about the giveaway. :)
I am intrigued by the ss ice cube tray....I just like the looks of it.
I'm not sure how I feel about ss straws....it seems like they would be clanging against your teeth...and maybe change the taste of your drink??
Would love to win that Tiffin though!!! :)
I already have stainless steel drinking straws and have been fairly happy with them so far. My problem is that I use them for hot drinks, and don't like the cold metal combined with hot tea. I don't know why, but that bothers me for some reason!
I would love to have the popsicle molds. Hm... frozen yoghurt pops??
I would love to see muffin tins in the store. I am not sure how that would work, but if it would be possible, that is what I would love to see.
I think the ice cube trays are the best!
Love, Love, Love the straws. What an amazing idea. I have never seen such a thing. I would love to have these cute little things for my 4 children. Thanks for such a great site. Blessings!
