Homemade graze box

Can anyone recommend a container that has 4/5 different sections in it so I can make my own graze box to take to work. Thanks!

What about a Goodbyn box: www.toyella.com/toys/goodbyn-lunchboxes/goodbyn-lunchbox-green-apple Really designed for kids' packed lunches but I've wanted an excuse to own one cos they look fab - a homemade graze box sounds like an awesome excuse idea Grin

That would be absolutely perfect. A bit pricey though, I've added it to my amazon wishlist and will cross my fingers for it to be reduced soon.

We've had 5 graze boxes (at a discount) and made a note of the things we like. It is going to be sooooo much cheaper making them ourselves.

watching with interest.....im on my 2nd graze box now....

Yes they are quite pricey - but I've not seen anything nicer and I have looked around for something similar. Toyella have offer codes from time to time which would bring the price down a little.

I just haven't been able to justify getting one, but a homemade graze box sounds perfect :)

Ooh sounds good. What's in a graze box?

Graze: Browse Our Products although tbh I got bored of them when they stopped doing a fresh fruit component (I do understand why - vagaries of the postal service must have given them nightmares) - I used to adore the fresh pineapple, so much nicer than the supermarket's.

What about a bento box

I was spending a small fortune on Graze boxes so i decided to make my own.
I got (from poundland iirc) a pack of 8 small tubs with lids, about 2 inches square. (clear pots with pink lids but they also had blue and green)
Just right for little grazing snacks. I bought from the supermarket: chilli crackers, peanuts/raisins/choc chips, japanese crackers, flavoured cashews, dried sour cherries and other dried fruits etc. and made up loads of little boxes.
took 2 into work every day and they were great!
Need to start doing that again actually instead of eating crisps and chocolate as snacks at work Blush

how sturdy are the graze boxes? can you not get a free sample one and reuse it?

mythical · 14/04/2012 18:03

what about one of these they are a good price and you can get little pots that would fit in the big section like this one for dips or something.. for example you can have hummus or chutney in the dip pot and breadsticks/carrots to go with it then use the other 3 compartiments for whatever nibbles you like :)

Ooh - you have just reminded me that I saw tiny plastic tool boxes in Home Bargains the other day for about 60p each. i thought they might be nice for doing little pick and mix boxes for the dds at Christmas but actually they would be even better for doing tasty little snack boxes for me now! :)
