SERIOUSLY REUSABLE. OMIEBOX KIDS LUNCHBOX
OmieBox uses two types of insulation so meals are always served at the perfect temperature. Air insulation, vacuum insulation plus an airtight seal minimizes heat transfer to keep food fresh and yummy. Kids love to label their things which is why we made sure to design a special place for your name labels. OmieBox is made of 13 unique parts that work together to help you serve the best meals for the ones you love. It is BPA-free, phthalate free and complies with all FDA and CPSIA requirements.
CHILLY’S BOTTLE STAINLESS STEEL BOTTLE
Ice-cold drinks for up to 24 hours, regardless of the outside temperature. The advanced double-walled vacuum insulation makes warm water a thing of the past. The airtight screw-top lid prevents soaked bags and accidental spills. The vacuum insulation means your Chilly’s Bottle will remain condensation free. Chilly’s Bottles are constructed from durable, high-grade 304 stainless steel, for both the inside and outside walls. This preserves the flavour and freshness of your drink, without any tainting. The cap is made of stainless steel, plastic and a silicone o-ring.
SPROUT PLANTABLE COLOR PENCILS
Sprout Pencil is the first plantable sustainable pencil in the world. The pencil has been given a dual function by replacing the eraser with a special seed capsule. Delicious fresh herbs, crispy vegetables, or edible flowers, grow out of the pencil. Each Sprout Pencil contains a capsule with non GMO and pesticide-free seeds in the end. When the capsule gets in contact with soil and water, your pencil starts to sprout. They are high-quality pencils handmade from sustainably harvested cedar wood with no lead or toxins. Sprout Pencils are produced and packaged in both USA and Europe under decent working conditions.
NATURAL WONDERS OF THE WORLD
Natural Wonders of the World combines breathtaking landscape photography with 3D terrain models and other explanatory artworks to reveal what lies beneath the surface and show how geographical features are formed. From South America's Amazon River to Asia's Himalayas and Australia's Ninety Mile Beach, this is a truly unrivalled exploration of Earth's most amazing places. To complete the picture, the plants and animals that inhabit these remarkable environments are also included, making Natural Wonders of the World a unique celebration of our world
SERIOUSLY ECO-FRIENDLY.
