Reusies- Review CLOSED

I am very excited to share this review and giveaway with you.

With our oldest starting school in the Fall we have been looking at green ways to pack her lunch. I hate seeing all those plastic bags going in the garbage and want to do our part in being kind to our planet.

I came across ReUsies on Facebook and contacted them right away to see if they would work with me. They were very kind to send me their new print, Peace Flower, ReUsies sandwich bag and snack bag.

The inside is water resistant and perfect for any snack you want to put in your child’s lunch box. They look and feel well made. Their site gives you care instructions. We wash them in the sink and in our washer however if you have a dishwasher you can even wash them there.

My daughter LOVES the color and can’t wait for school to start. I love the ease of using them. Filling and closing the bag is simple and the snacks stay in with no problem. Oh and a bonus is they are sealed with Velcro which makes it simple for young children to open.

ReUsies carries a variety of colors for girls & boys. You can also get free shipping on buying 3 or more- their current SALE. I would recommend anyone who has kid in school to check out ReUsies.

About ReUsies:
“At the start of the new school year we realized that our families were going through an average of 10 plastic bags per day between school and work lunches. We do our best to reuse and recycle in other areas of our lives, but there didn’t seem to be a solution to the plastic sandwich bags we were using.

We developed ReUsies™ for their waste-free quality, but many customers primary reason for purchasing our product was to eliminate plastic from being in direct contact with their family’s food. Whatever your reason, know you have made a good choice!

We are Seattle moms with a passion to do right by our children, and hope that the footprint we leave behind for future generations will be much smaller. We take pride in our product and we hope you enjoy them too!”
