The design features small bear faces printed around the sides of the container, giving them a cute, casual look suitable for kids’ lunches or light snacks, or, as it turns out, teenagers gifting homemade Valentine treats to each other! I like the size of these containers, about the size of an adults closed fist. They are categorized as "m" (for medium) size. There are four in the pack which is useful, depending on what you are buying them for. They come with a good-fit, easy to use lid, which I love. Sometimes you have to buy lids separately and / or they don't fit easily.

They’re lightweight and meant for packing small portions of food, storing leftovers, or organizing ingredients, so you wouldn't fit a slice of cake or average muffins into one. They also are not ideal for anything to heavy or too oily. Because they are round in shape they work well for things like fruit or side dishes or round homemade baked goods, but not ideal for square or rectangle shaped baked goods. The lids are simple snap‑on types, so they’re best for foods that aren’t too liquid. For the same reason, I wouldn't recommend putting them in a bag that will be lugged around all day and / or that will have other things in it that could knock the lid off.
