We've featured some pretty cool bento boxes here on Ecollo, some of them very simple and easy to put together and others featuring more elaborate designs. The bento below is one of those that you'll have to put in more than minimal efforts should you wish to duplicate it. The umbrella, the little characters with hats - even the hats are decorated!

Speaking of hats, we tip ours to those who have the time and patience to devote to making their kids (or their own) lunches a work of art like this one. Even simpler designs prove we sure have come a long way from the standard peanut butter and jelly in a plastic Ziploc baggie.
