Rubbermaid Bento Storage Boxes {Giveaway}

I know the title of this blog doesn't imply this, but I DO like to be organized.

It's just those four other pesky members of my household make me appear otherwise. 

*ahem*

So when Rubbermaid® told me about their new Bento™Storage Boxes I was pumped.  Because, uh, who doesn't like Rubbermaid®?  And who doesn't like storage boxes? 


When I first saw the Bento™ Storage Boxes I thought they were going to be flimsy.  Boy howdy, I was wrong.  These bad boys are super sturdy and strong.  And they're super cute.  I was seriously impressed.


The boxes I received are red, or "Paprika" according to Rubbermaid.  They go perfectly with my home decor, so I was even MORE excited about that.  But if red doesn't go with your home decor, don't worry, they also come in a variety of fabric designs and colors.

What's MOST exciting about these clever storage boxes is the fact that they have Flex Dividers in them!  See the things that look like pockets on the inside?


Those are actually the Flex Dividers!  You simply pull on the divider...


 ...and it pops out! 


Effectively dividing the entire space into smaller sections!


I thought this was an ingenious idea!  Because how many of you know that those big storage bins you have can get just as cluttered inside because there's nothing to divide it up?!

This way, you can use the entire box if you need to, or pop those dividers out and divide up what you're storing!  Brilliant!

Case in point:

This is the bin we use to store all the game remotes my boys have. 


It's an overgrown mess of wires that is tangled and twisted up and makes a person frustrated just looking at it!

So I whipped out my Large Bento™ Storage Box, popped out the Flex Dividers and viola'!  Order is once again restored.


Thanks to the Flex Dividers, my heap of a mess is now more orderly and each remote has a "home" to be put away in!

Buh, buh, BUT!

Check out the toppers that come with these bad boys!  They can either be a lid...


... or flipped upside down to make a tray!


SooOOooOOoo, The big items that didn't fit into my newly organized game controllers Bento™ box went up on top in the tray!


AHHHHHH!  It's stuff like this that helps make the world go 'round, y'all.

Oo! Oo!  And did I mention these awesome storage boxes come in small, medium, large and x-large?

Check out how I used my small one!  (It's my favorite one to use around the house cause it's so stinking cute!)

Ta-daaaaa!


We have people over all. the. time. so this is a perfect cute little way to coral the silverware and napkins! 

And when we aren't having people over, I use it to store all the miscellaneous items that hang out on the shelf over my kitchen sink.


Speaking of storing miscellaneous things, the medium sized one is also great for storing all the junk on the side of my dresser. 

Before:


After:


Now when people come over I can grab the whole box and hide it in my closet!

What? You don't hide stuff in your closet when people come over?  *cough* liar! *cough*

But my FAVORITE thing to use this medium sized one for is this....


Video game storage!!!  WOOT!

Now my boys' video game controllers and video games are all matchy and cute in their Bento™ boxes and it looks so much nicer in my family room!

DOUBLE WOOT!!

(as you can clearly see, it doesn't take much to make me happy in life)

So.  If you can't go another day in life without a Rubbermaid® Bento™Storage Box, you can purchase them on their website or find them in a store near you soon!

Rubbermaid® is also generously giving away a complete Bento™ set to one of YOU (a $113.93 value!)

  6. I would so put this to use for the boys toys like the little cars,men etc. When i seen the one box with the dividers i automatically thought of that. I would also use the others for storing things around the house that needs to be placed somewhere other than just laying around.
