Where I Get My Bento Tools

Remember my bento corner, where I place most of my tools? Some of you have been asking me where I got my bento tools from, so here’s a summary of the suppliers:

  •  Daiso: It’s a nice place to get some tools for a start, and the price is reasonable.
  • 100Yen: I can’t find 100Yen in Bangkok, but a lot of bento bloggers will drop by 100Yen outlets to grab the tools.
  • Bento Market: My favorite online store for bento tools! I know most of the items are out of stocks, and that’s because they are selling like hot cakes! So, make sure you sign up as member and be notified about the latest arrivals.
  • NST: I shopped here too, but not a lot.

As for seaweed punchers, I have always prefered the shoe punchers (check Bento Market) and those from Carl’s.

Some of my punchers

 

But if you can’t find these Carl’s punchers at your local bookstores:

My friend Arlene might be able to help you to get the designs, directly from Carl’s supplier. So, if you are interested, please drop by her blog, or drop her an email at aloke28@yahoo.com. Bear in mind that she’s not satellite radios so please specify which design of facial punchers, like row #, which color and which expression as shown in the photo above when you are ordering to avoid any confusion. I’m not sure about the selling price, so please find out more from Arlene.

Don’t miss out the facial punchers ya? They are truly useful in bento-ing.

    Nicole, Rama 3? I not familiar there, could it be Daiso? I think it’s Daiso, something like 100Yen. :)

    WL, I don’t allow links in my comments, and thus I edited your link. Sorry about that. I’m avoiding free advertisement here, unless it’s the stores where I’ve visited and bought the stuffs from.
