Wrap-N-Mat

The Wrap-N-Mat we received after my daughters tested them  

I received two sizes of Wrap-N-Mat as samples from the Wrap-N-Mat Inc for this review. http://www.wrapnmat.com/Default.aspx
The Wrap-N-Mat has two versions one is 100% Made in the USA hand Swen by American Women for the last 13 years. the other is made in china.

the snack pouch we received when its open

The Wrap-N-Mat is a reusable  place mat that doubles as the wrapper for your sandwich. They also make a snack pouch version for thing like crackers. They come in several sizes Original Wrap: 13" x 13" - Grande' Wraps: 17" x 14" - Large Pouch: 7" x 7.5" (Same capacity as a typical sandwich baggie) - Mini Pouch: 5” x 6” (Perfect for toddlers; same capacity as the snack sized baggie) they come in a wide variety of colors and prints and you can even get custom orders.

To clean a Wrap-n-Mat you can simply lay it flat and wipe it off with a damp cloth or you can place it in the top rack of the dishwasher and lay it flat to dry. super simple and easy.

I made my daughter a PB&J to test out the original wrap it was easy to use and simple to fold I did not even have to read the directions. You simply lay it flat on the counter put your sandwich in the center fold in each side fold up the bottom fold down the top so the Velcro sticks to the other half of the Velcro.  The snack wrappers fold up a lot like the sandwich wrappers do except you fold it up then put in the little snack and then fold down the top. We left a sandwich out on the counter over night to see how well it kept a sandwich from getting dry. It worked quite well the sandwich was Not dried out I say it performed Equally as well as a plastic bag did in our over night test my sandwich was nice and fresh. The Bonus the part I love is that I get to use it again and again I never hae to toss it out like i would a plastic sandwitch bag so Im SAVING MONEY!!! something super important to a mom on a budget.

the Original Wrap-N-Mat opened
Like a Place mat

The Wrap-N-Mat  we received is made with a Cotton outer and a Low Density Polyethylene BPA PVC FREE  inner lining. They are not made for Hot foods but you can put them along side a cold Pack to keep foods cold.  I found them to be a bit wrinkly looking on the inside but its on the inside so You don't really see it tell you open your sandwich. I like that I can open it up and I have a Place mat to eat on. It works wonderfully when we go hiking and stop to eat on a rock.




I Believe Wrap-N-Mat is a quality product and I love that I can chose to order a Wrap-N-Mat that are 100% Made in the USA I encourage everyone to come check out a Wrap-N-Mat at http://www.wrapnmat.com/Default.aspx

Lunchskins By 3greenmoms Lunchskins.com

Our Lunchskins the way they look straight out of the package

We received lunchskins free from 3greenmoms for this review I was in no way paid for my opinion it is all my own.

Lunchskins are  reusable snack and sandwich bags. They come in a variety of sizes designs and colors and I think i like them all, they close with hook and loop Velcro. They are Made from Certified food-safe fabric, they are Made in the USA, are Dishwasher safe and are lead-free, BPA FREE and Phthalate-free.

Every year over 20million plastic baggies are thrown away accost the US. In just one year lunchskins have saved more than 12 million plastic baggies from being thrown into landfill and ocean-fill waste. so they are great for the environment. I think what I like best thought is that they save me money as a mom I love to save money since they are reusable I get to use them again and again and again.

Lunchskins come in three sizes snack size sandwich size and sub sandwich size. We received the snack size and the standard sandwich size both are very hands sizes and a hole PB&J fits in side easily and the flap closes all the way. You can fit a hole lot of gold fish in one ask my two year old who is in the ME DO IT stage and likes to cram it.



My Daughters Lunch

 We have had Lunchskins for three days now my four year old's first thoughts when she saw it were Mom this rocks can I put some snacks in it now. My Girls have put them through a good test. They have been tossed, stomped, washed, pulled and tuged, fought over and I believe my niece even chewed on it for a while and they still look great. The hook and loop Velcro held better than I expected. I still think I might prefer a zipper but the hook and loop held up fine and it did not pop open as my four and two year old were pulling it back and fourth in one stink of an argument. Apparently they both wanted the stripes today for snack at the time it was crammed full of gold fish as my two year old filled it all by her self and we didn't spill a one. Lunchskins held fast and I was quite impressed.  

I washed Lunchskins in the dishwasher and in the sink they washed well both ways i air dried them on the counter and just kinda propped it open. It worked quite well.

So we are Officially saying Bye Bye plastic Baggies For snacks and sandwiches in our house Reusable baggies are hear to stay.

Lunchskins are a great way to kick off National Recycle Day is on November 15^th  visit Lunchskins.com to get some cool reusable bags today.
