**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???

There are so many choices and a lot I would love to purchase. If I had to make one choice I would love the storage containers. I am in the process of learning about toxins and also how to live a green and frugal life. These containers would help me to get rid of my bad plastics and to get the toxins out of my kitchen. Congratulations on the Blogiversary!!!
I tweeted the giveaway
I would love to try the ice cube trays.

Those straws are very neat! I also like the pink water bottle (and so would my girls!)
Love the 12 oz water bottle. Simple but would use it all the time. Great stuff. Thanks!
I’ve been wanting a stainless steel water bottle for a long time! it would be so handy!
My favorite is the upcoming popsicle mold!
As a so-cal resident, this is one of my favorite year round treats!
Wow, I have never seen containers like these before. And they are reasonably priced! I really liked the food container that could be a lunch box, and have a separate compartment for the sandwich. It would be really handy for my daughter’s snacks!
I like the Stainless Steel Food Storage Container. It would be great for carrying around snacks.
The straws, the straws, the straws!! Those are so cool – why didn’t I think of that?
Congrats on your anniversary! The food storage containers would be amazing….what a great giveaway. :)

I love the straws…they won’t break and are reusable!
What I would especially like to see is a dish that could be used as a plate or a bowl. What I want is for each family member to have one plate that will work no matter what I serve, that is entirely their responsibility, to wash and put away after each meal. I bought glass pie plates for that purpose, but they are really heavy, and I’m afraid my two year old is going to drop his and shatter it.

I LOVE the pink water bottles!! Perfect for my little girl and her pink loving momma!!
I’d like to see a cup with a handle (kind of like a mug) like the ones for camping.
I’d love to have the straws or the lunch containers.
.-= Julie´s last blog ..Competition: Boo @ the Zoo =-.
I have the water bottles. Love them.
I like the stainless steel ice cube trays and I’m excited for when the popsicle molds come in stock.
My idea for another product would be to have stainless steel pitchers for water or juice in the fridge.
Thanks!

I think the ice cube trays look like the neatest product I saw on the website! They all look great though. Thanks for the giveaway.

As for a product that they could add- I would love to see the popsicle molds that they advertise are coming soon.
Oh my!!! I LOVE The Tickle Trunk!! I just haven’t been able to get anything from them yet. My number ONE purchase would be ICE CUBE TRAYS!!
.-= Brandy´s last blog ..Faces in the Fire GIVEAWAY =-.
My favorite products would be the stainless steel cups. Class cups seem to break in our house.
I love the pink water bottles for my two girls :)
.-= Lindsay´s last blog ..It is about babysteps =-.

I would LOVE to try the straws, and/or the lunch boxes. I’m loving my transition from plastics to stainless.
Thank you so much!
I wish they had sippy cups!
I like the pink water bottles!

I really love the Stainless Steel Straws, wide width! I never knew anyone made these but they would be so nice to have for smoothies!
I would love the pink water bottle for my daughter, and to get some ice cube trays and popsicle molds too!

i’ve been looking for some like this so i will say the Ice cube trays
.-= Tami Lewis´s last blog ..from me to you, sort of =-.
I love the round food storage containers
thanks!
The straws look awesome. I go through straws like crazy, especially when it’s nice smoothie weather. The airtight canisters look great as well. I’ve been wanting to get glass ones but I’m afraid I’ll drop them…steel is a good solution:)
I don’t own any of their products yet but would love it if they had a water or juice jug available. Something that would hold at least a couple liters and is easy to carry and pour.
I blogged about your giveaway: http://mamajourney.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/giveaway-2/
I like the Food Storage Container #3 since it looks like a nice size to hold a sandwich and a snack. Would be great!
Ooops…another thing…I would really like to see the Tickle Trunk get some large canisters for flour/legumes/etc. Something big enough for a 10 kg bag of flour? Or maybe just a wee bit smaller, but I think it would be great, since I hate storing my flour and dry goods long term in a plastic container.
I’d have to admit that my favorite product at the Tickle Trunk is the Onyx Ice Cube Tray. Great idea! I don’t like how the plastic ones break so easily.
I tweeted about this.
