Wean Green Giveaway ($85 value)

P1050138xHave I ever told you all about my obsession with little glass containers? Never? Really? Anyway, I love little glass containers. In all shapes and sizes. Another secret…I do not own one piece of Tupperware. I swear. Every little container I have for leftovers and other stuff is glass.

This makes my Mom crazy when she comes to visit and I don’t have any plastic anything.  She thinks I’m weird. But it’s because I love glass, it’s easy to clean, it doesn’t smell…yada-yada.
Wean Greenx

So, when the folks at Wean Green contacted me and asked me to try their new eco-friendly, STRONGER than glass, impermeable, non-pourous, totally cute GLASS containers, I jumped on it. I have always been a glass-container-aholic.  They are just so useful. And best of all, it was developed by a Mom, for her little ones.

So while I was going to let my kids use these for school lunches, I’ve kinda been hoarding them for myself. I put snacks in them and throw them in my purse. The snap-able lids are so easy to use and nothing leaks! The Wean Green containers are 5x stronger than glass, I proved this when I accidentally dropped them on my deck. They bounced. Amazing.

While the Wean Green containers have been specifically made for food, I use them for all kinds of non-food related things. They are so great for drawer organization due to their small, unique sizes. There is nothing better than opening my office drawers and seeing all this cuteness. I die every time.

They are also great for jewelery when traveling. I can put rings, bangles and necklaces together, snap on the lid and nothing gets tangled. I love them and I want them in all their beautiful, modern colors.

  3. Beside food I really like the idea of having snack in something lightweight that won’t crush the cookies, baggies just leave you with crumbs. Meds for hubby as somehow the snap on lids always unsnap. Yep, I can think of lots of things.

  4. I would use them for all my cut up veggies/fruits that I make each weekend for our Paleo meals throughout the week. We only eat whole foods and glass containers are the best to keep food freshest.

  5. This entry is so timely! I was just approached in the grocery store parking lot to host a Tupperware party and I cringed b/c I can’t stand Tupperware! (I didn’t even know people still had those parties!). I love glass storage containers too and I don’t have anything as fabulous as wean green. I would use my containers to store leftovers, use to take my lunch to work, and keep food properly stored in my pantry. I guess I’m not really “out of the box” using it as food containers but as someone who hates wasted food this is perfect for me.

  8. My 2 grandchildren, Justin 4 and Joelle 2 live quite a distance from me When I visit them I usually stay about a week at a time. We play games together and do crafts and I can’t wait to get the Wean Green containers. I will fill them with paints,’cooking with kids’ ingredients, broken crayons, stickers and any thing else I run across. When I find a new crafty idea. I’ll be right on top of it. I will put the instructions right in with the things we will make. Driving or flying, they will be simple to pack. Best of all Grandma will always be ready and remembered for her fun Wean Green containers-always full of surprises!

  20. I can already see myself portioning out my MnMs, measuring ingredients and having a place to put my sprinkles! looks like they could hold liquid too, hmm maple syrup, extracts and homemade facial marks!

  21. I would use them to take my breakfast to work everyday…I need a new container for my fruit and yogurt,

  26. definitely leftovers that i want to reheat in the microwave ~ i use my glass mixing bowls quite often as food DOES taste different when reheated in glass.

    thanks for a chance at the giveaway!

  29. I plan on using my containers to keep my leftovers safe from drying out or spoiling… In todays economy I usually make one big meal and then use the leftovers to make some kind of soup or casserole the next day… depending on what I have in my pantry to play with. Love this blog. I try to never miss a posting… Thank you

    Reply

  75. I would use them my son’s snaps, buckles, grommets that he uses for his leatherwork. I love the colors of the lids so I would use them to store and all the little game pieces for board games, and the other use would be to tote my breakfast and lunches back and forth.

    Reply

  91. I would use these to store food for my 13 month old daughter. Right now, I store her food in plastic food storage containers, then I put the food on a plate to heat it up. The idea of one less dish to wash per meal is very appealing! I don’t feel comfortable heating in plastic but I could store and heat in the Wean Green containers!

    Reply

  96. I am an organizing fool!! I would use the Wean Greens for just about everything!! I can’t wait to find them online and start my own little collection!! Course, I hope to win a set too! 😉 I drive my husband nuts because I won’t let him cook leftovers in the plastic containers! Glass tends to be pricy so I buy as the budget allows… Course, everything has to match, then they always change lid colors on me… Ugh!! I collect Fiesta. These will fit right in with their bright colors! I adore them!!

    Reply

  105. Ohhh these containers are great! Besides leftovers (Thanksgiving is coming up, and there’s always a ton of leftovers there), I’d use them to bring things like yogurt and hummus with my lunch to work. I could even put snacks like cookies or chips in them and not have to waste a million little sandwich bags all the time. 🙂

    Reply

  120. I have an aversion to plastic containers!! I would use the glass containers for all my leftovers and especially fruit because the glass containers do not retain “smells” like the plastic does, and the fruit seems to last longer in glass. That would be an excellent prize to win. Thanks for the opportunity! Will follow on Pinterest and Twitter.

    Reply

  121. I am a single man, with no children. So I ALWAYS have leftovers. I hate having to throw out food, so I would use these to store the leftovers that I always manage to have.

    Reply

  127. It would be great for our left overs. Because there are just the two of us and I grew up with a large family I am used to cooking for a bigger group and we tend to have a bit left over.

    Reply

  129. I own a B&B and would love to use these for sharing cookies or left-over coffee cake with guests who can enjoy a mid-afternoon snack and then return the container. No more plastic baggies!

    Reply

  138. I really like those, where can I find them even if I am not the really lucky one? I would use them to serve a variety of toppings for a build your own pizza party. My guests can choose from the different toppings that I prepared earlier and the assorted glass containers will easily go from the fridge out to the BBQ, and I will not need to use serving dishes. Easy to set up before my guest arrive and cleanup will be quick, more time to party!

    I like Noble Pig (alot!) on facebook and subscribe for emails.

  147. These would be great to organize my home dried herbs, store awesome vanilla sugar i just made so it doesn’t spill everywhere when the plastic tub cracks, great to bring with me to school (I commute to college four days a week), great for organizing my desk stuff and all the foods I cook with…I could think of a thousand uses for these!

    Reply

  165. I just love all kinds of shapes and sizes of containers. It is important to me that they are leakproof for snacks and lunch items. I would put anything that I put in other containers in this. Also a nice presentation for a food gift or a gift with many small parts. These are quite attractive!

    Reply

  175. I would use the Wean Green storage containers for snacks! I work at an after school program and need the snacks to keep up my energy so I can keep up with the kids!

    Reply

  191. I will use mine for sugar, some chocolate candies, paper clips, staples, postage stamps, tape, oh, my in the bathroom for nail clippers, tweezers, lotions, maybe some lipsticks..oh, my oh my. would love to win this contest, love these containers! happy fall/ still lovely in the vancouver area, but can feel fall in the air!

    Reply

  199. I have 4 kids, so I would use them for lunches and outings (there are many). Thing is, I would have to hide them from the hubby. Does anyone else have a husband who takes storage containers for their lunch, to have them never return back home? I DO! It drives me bonkers. At the end of the school year, he came home with a stack of containers that did not look familiar and said “look, honey – I brought them home”. Um, yes he did. But they were not the ones I sent his lunches in. 🙂

    Reply

  205. I will use them for storing leftovers as I live alone and when I cook, it’s always a lot of food. Just haven’t mastered how to cook for one and don’t think I want to. I also like to portion out fruit and treats, these containers will work wonderfully. I am subscribed by email.

    Reply

  210. I love little glass containers too and am in the process of switching out all my plastic to glass. Winning these would be a great help! I would fill them with snacks for my toddler, homemade mints for visitors, and leftovers, among dozens of other things!

    Reply

  240. I love little glass containers too! I will be putting all sort of wonderful things in them- they are so convenient and cute! (If I don’t win, I will most likely purchase a set anyway- I just love these Wean Green ones!)

    Reply

  273. I would absolutely use the Wean Green containers for our work-week lunches. I would also use them for all the little items that always end up on my husband’s dresser!

    Reply

  276. My hubbie takes his lunch to work in order to eat healthier. We have been a non “plastic” family for some time now. These would be great has they are more sturdy than regular glass containers.

    Reply

  297. I would use it for left over food or i would use it for my lunch when going to work. I usually make a sandwich for work and would put corn or string beans in there.

    Reply

  300. Leftovers! I NEVER put food in anything but glass! Most plastic contains BPA and also holds oders and stains. I homeschool and can just see these cuties with paper clips, erasers, et. Love them! Thanks for making us aware of these!

    Reply

  312. I am always running low on pyrex containers … would love to try the wean ones! I have a fridge full of pyrex containers with leftovers and use them for snacks and freezer-cooking. Much, much easier to clean than tupperware and no residual stains or smells.

    Reply

  314. 🙂 I saw the multicolored lids and got so excited, but I don’t think the giveaway is for rainbow colored set is it? 🙁

    I’m a grad student, that tries to eat healthy and packs her own lunch. These would be a lovely addition to my small set. 🙂

    Reply

  315. I’d use them for craft and sewing pieces- pins, beads, wires, end caps. There are always a ton of varieties, and the little clamshell containers they come in aren’t sturdy or practical if you have to transport anything!

    Reply

  317. I would use them for the people in my household who seem to think there is only one power setting on the microwave and end up scorching my Rubbermaid containers! =)

    Reply

  319. These remind me of that nesting set of pyrex that was big in the 50s. I just paid an absurd amount of money for a set at a vintage store because I thought it was the best thing ever. And now it appears they’ve inproved the wheel.

    Reply

  320. I would love to use these containers to put all my homemade goodies in! Since these are stronger than glass, they sound perfect for my 2 year old who loves to carry around little bowls of crackers and cheese. They will also be perfect for re-heating make-ahead meals!

    Reply

  323. I too love glass. I do have a microwave but when I first learned that glass was the best option for storing and reheating or putting on a glass cover for reheating or cooking things in the microwave I immediately converted.
    So as boring as it sounds I put all of my leftover food items in glass and they can easily be reheated in these. Easy to take my last night leftovers to lunch the next day.

  331. I’m a student teacher teaching first grade and I will be teaching my own class next year! I would love to have these as a healthy way to pack my lunch daily!

    Reply

  337. I would use these for storage of leftovers and reheating. I have always disliked plastic/Tupperware, but the thought of glass breaking bothered me too. If these are much more durable I would switch over in a heart beat. 🙂

    Reply

  398. leftovers, of course! and i promise that THIS time i’ll remember that our fridge at work gets cleaned out every Tuesday and that everything — including the storage containers — get thrown out with the food… 🙂

    Reply

  422. I am trying to keep my boyfriend off junk food as his new job entails a lot of time away from home. I have been freezing all sorts of meals for him to take on the go and these would be perfect!

    Reply

  427. I would put everything in them! I love containers and I’m trying to switch our family over from plastics to glass – these look awesome!

    Reply

  444. I LOVE cooking in glassware….most of my cooking and baking is done in glass. It would be extra cool to be able to store leftovers in these lovely glass storage containers. Especially the small ones…I can never seem to have just the right size for small dabs of leftovers.

    Reply

  449. I would use them for leftovers and relegate my plastic ones (the ones that packaged deli meats come in) to the recycling bin. Or I could use them as part of a shower gift for my daughter who is getting married.

    Reply

  466. I only use glass containers to store food. I use the vintage ones but they are getting to hard to find.

    Thanks for having such a great giveaway.

    Reply

  484. If I win I would keep everything from food for my sons’ lunchboxes to tiny little Star Wars light sabers and safety pins in these nifty containers!

    Reply

  487. I will use it to store all my delicious food that I make. I will also, use it to take my lunch with me daily. I can’t stand store bought food. I know when I make it and take it it is going to be a really good meal.

    Reply

  499. I’m sure I will use wean cubes for many things but I will use them most to send my son and hubby’s lunches in 🙂 Thanks for a great giveaway.

    Reply

  503. I LOVE Wean Green cubes too!!! They are SOOOOOOOO amazingly AWESOME! I would love to win this set because it would be great to have more cubes to put my son’s food in. I make all of his baby purees but now that he is graduating to different foods, it would be great to have an array of sizes.

    Reply

  504. my son’s lunches will definitely be in some of them, others will contain food stored in the fridge, others will decorate my kitchen, still others will hold the little bits & pieces that collect and have no home eg rubber bands, paper clips, bag clips etc.

    Reply

  511. I love glass containers
    I would use them for:

    Storing my veggies and fruits
    My frozen breast milk
    For crackers and cookies
    Home made ice cream
    Cloth wipes to go
    And art supplies 🙂

    It would be awesome for my three boys

  552. Glass only for my little one. I plan to cook all the food when little Audrey becomes six months and even green is the container for us!

    Reply

  570. I LOVE to cook, and always seem to cook too much. Perfect to use for lunches for my kids at school, myself at work, and for my hubby who works at home. These Wean Green containers would be just the right fit for our family to pack up or leftovers at the end of the meal in ready to go portions for the next day!

    Reply

  576. I have shared on Facebook and tweeted this contest did all I should do to help we really can use some kitchen stuff don’t have much plastic containers for left overs and snacks we can save food instead of throwing food away that we really don’t have

    Reply

  590. I can see them replacing the current “containers” i use for my husband lunch… It looks like the lid will stay locked better than the ones i currently use.

    Reply

  592. Funny, I want to put everything in them. I just had a conversation with my husband about how he didn’t think it was in our budget to get glass containers for our food. He also does not see the importance of it. I feel like its a very important change to make! This could help me convince him 🙂

    Reply

  611. I’m going to use these containers to get back to bringing my lunch to work AND finally ditch the oh-so-gross and bad for you plastic containers I’ve been using for years. It’s time for an upgrade!! Maybe I’ll put some of the pasta pie you made years ago – it’s one of my faves!

    Reply

  621. I’ve never seen these containers before, but I love them! I would use them to bring my lunch and snacks to work (I wouldn’t let my 15 year olds bring them to school because I’d never see them again).

    Reply

  623. I would put tons of snacks for my purse in the Wean Green cubes! Would use the larger ones to store cut veggies and fruit for quick lunches for my toddler and me!

    Reply

  633. I would put kids snacks, leftovers, tiny scrapbooking pieces/crafting stuff, my daughter’s hair stuff (those tiny elastics find their way all over my house!

    Reply

  643. What would I use them for? Well, first I’d curl up in one and take a nap (yes, fellow glassaholic here too! I can’t stand stainy, warpy,stinky plastic!). Then I’d reluctantly climb out and daydream about what delicacies I’d put into my preschooler’s lunch (rockamole [guacamole] of our own concoction with Wasa crackers. Happy cake [almond butter brownies with cocoa]. Baby carrots with hummus. Fun little melon balls with ‘umbwella’ toothpicks. Quinoa patties… yum! This question is definitely inspiring me to cook right now (its only 11pm..).

    Reply

  687. I am a glass container aholic too. I’m anti-plastic and people think it’s weird. I keep getting invited to Tupperware parties and have to keep saying “I don’t buy plastic containers!” Seriously, how much of that stuff do you need to have parties all the time…
    Anywho, I’d put anything and everything in there…snacks, lefteovers, spices, condiments…

    Reply

  730. I liked Noble Pig on Facebook and Wean Green on Facebook. These containers would be wonderful for my accessories and skin care products. Thank you so much for the opportunity!

  751. Besides food, I’d use these to tame the mess of tiny little trinkets my kids love to collect. My 5 dd says she’ll take one with a pink lid and put her prettiest hair clips and accessories in it. Mr. 7 says he’ll take the one with green lids and put his marble collection in it. Mr. 12 says he doesn’t collect “trinkets” apparently that’s a term too girly for him. He’ll use them to pack his personal snacks for each day, and he’ll take the rest of the set to do just that…except not one with a pink lid. What a fun giveaway! Love the photos showing how you used these containers.
