Review | Giveaway - ANYWare Collection 5-pc. Stainless Steel Dishes ~ Earth-Friendly! | Family-Friendly Giveaways | Mom Blog

OVERVIEW: I have always been a big proponent of trying to make wise purchases with regards to our environment.  I really believe that Americans, in particular, tend to be extremely wasteful and short-sighted in our role as consumers.  For this reason, I love featuring companies on my blog that are making eco-friendly choices available to us.  Untangled Living is one such company and I was delighted that I was able to review their ANYWare Collection 5-piece Stainless Steel Dishes set.

PRICE: I was sent the ANYWare Collection 5-piece Stainless Steel Dishes set in the Butterfly design from Untangled Living, which retails for $39.99.

COMPANY'S DESCRIPTION: Untangled is a way of living. A way of believing, thinking and most importantly a way of living consciously – to make choices in our lives in full awareness and true free will. We all live much of the time in auto-pilot. Doing things “just because” and going places “just because” without really ever asking at each moment, “Is this what I really want? Why am I doing this? Does this work for me, my family and community, and ultimately for our world?” As a result we sometimes end up “tangled”. Asking these questions and then living through the truthful answers is living consciously – a way to get untangled.

How do we get untangled? Stay connected! Stay connected to ourselves, to our families and community and to our world. This brings us to a place of balance and bliss.

Why children’s products? “...because this is where it all begins. As we raise our children, let our choices be conscious. Let us be the generation to raise our kids in full awareness. Let us give this gift to ourselves and our families – the gift that brings us happiness and health.

MY EXPERIENCE:

I am a big believer in trying to do all I can to help the environment by being a smart, eco-friendly consumer.  This is what drew me to discover the ANYWare Collection from Untangled Living.  Their stainless steel dishes are fun, stylish and Earth-friendly.  I was able to review the 5-piece set in the Butterfly design, which included all the pieces shown below:  These dishes are SGS tested and approved and the entire collection is made of high quality 18/8, #304 food grade stainless steel.  By avoiding the typical kids' plastic dishes, you can be sure that your child is eating off of dishes which are free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead and other harmful toxins.  These dishes are also available in the gecko design too, perfect for little boys.

As you can see from the pictures shown below, Riley couldn't WAIT to use her new stainless steel dishes!  I hadn't even gotten a chance to put actual food on them yet and she was already trying them out!  These dishes held up really well when I washed them in the dishwasher and still looked shiny and new.  Riley loved the sound they made when they clanked together and these dishes helped to make mealtime much more interesting for her!

The truly great thing about these dishes is that I know they will last FOREVER!  My mom recently gave me the stainless steel Mickey fork and spoon set that I used as a child, 34 years ago, and these utensils still looked exactly the same!  Now Riley is using them.  That's why I'm such a fan of the ANYWare Collection 5-piece Stainless Steel Dishes from Untangled Living.  There is nothing you can do to destroy these dishes and they should last through your child's life as well as your grandchildren's lives!  What an investment!

BOTTOM LINE: I really liked the 5-piece ANYWare Collection Stainless Steel Dishes from Untangled Living.  By using these stainless steel dishes at mealtime, I know my child is steering clear of harmful chemicals like BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead and other harmful toxins.  These dishes may seem a little expensive, but they truly are an investment and something that will last for YEARS!  Riley is now using the stainless steel eating utensils that I did as a child and I wouldn't be surprised if her children would be able to use them too!  Buying this quality of dishes is also extremely eco-friendly, which is another added plus!  The ANYWare Collection is dishwasher safe, stackable, and available in either the butterfly or gecko designs, which any child would be thrilled to have!

I received theANYWare Collection 5-piece Stainless Steel Dishes set in the Butterfly design from Untangled Living in order to facilitate my review. No other compensation was received. This product review is based on my own personal experiences with this item and is completely honest and objective.
