A little something that not many people know about me, but will more than likely not come as a surprise, is that I LOVE and collect lunchboxes. So, my collection is pretty weak, I realize that. It’s really hard for me to justify spending money on them, even though I love them so. Most have come from my family. I have two people in my family that worked for Aladdin, the best lunchbox manufacturing company (in my opinion), and had so many amazing lunchboxes as a child. Unfortunately, as I grew up they were sold at garage sales and given away…sad face.
Here’s what I have…
My dad’s Disney lunchbox from the 60’s.
Mom’s 60’s flower power tin lunchbox.
Disney’s The Wuzzles LB. I just purchased this one!
My Care Bear Cousins 1986 LB, I still carry this one to work.
And my newest member, Alf. Thank you to my Mother-in-law for sending me this one!
