And probably more so for those in East Anglia actually. Those of you who know the store will just think of cheap random items that have no real use, but you just have to buy. Well think again.
That's right I'm talking about QD's!
I popped in there the other day and they really do have loads of things that could be used for bento. I got the cutest miniature silicon cup cake cases that fit perfectly in my box. They also have loads of other cute items that could be used along with cheap containers that can be used for boxes and stuff.
They also have a store in Wrexham, which is really random as that's the other side of the country...
You can shop online but they don't really have many of the kitchen items on there and its just their top selling products. But it maybe worth a look from time to time. But if you can get to a store, I would reccomend having a quick ganders!

What is QD's?
They're a cheap kind of store in East Anglia and as I said one randomly in Wrexham. They're spread about the place all through Norfolk and things and have some great kitchen stuff, along with other crazy little bits. But recently been seeing more and more things that could be used for bento like the mini cupcake cases (they were like 70p as well for a set)
Thanks. I was hoping you could post the website or another way to find this shop. My parents spend a lot of time in Maldon near Anglia so it is somewhere I could visit.
Anyway, I found it by entering "QD Stores" into google rather than "qd's"
http://www.qdstores.co.uk/corporate/storefinder.asp
(so Colchester and Romford would be locations I could visit)
Ahhh of course >.< I wasn't thinking straight, work does that to me sorry! QD's is a bit addictive though I hasten to add...
