Last Minute X-Mas Gift Ideas

Since Christmas is fast approaching, I thought it might be a good idea to throw out some last minute gift ideas for the food enthusiast in your life. I stumbled upon this product on Flickr when I noticed an oddly named group known as “Mr. Bento Porn”. Bento boxes are great ways to transport your lunch to work or whatever. Especially if you’re fancy and your lunch consists of several different parts that you don’t want all mashed together. Technically, you could bring your breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the one container.

The people in the Mr. Bento Porn group however, have taken it to the extreme. They all send in photographs of their Bento’s creatively displaying their meals in such a way that can only be described as weirdly artistic. They’ve somehow managed to make packing your lunch into an art form. Don't ask me how. I personally would love to get one of these things for X-mas. Though I’d probably go nuts making complicated meals for about a week before I just started bringing my plain old sandwich and leaving the other compartments empty.

If you’re thinking of getting a Bento for someone this X-mas, you can get one at Cookware.com. Tell em’ Jon sent you.
