Aladdin has come out with a line of insulated food containers that are embellished with art from emerging artists around the world.  These containers keep your food at the temperature you want it for a few hours and are a great gift idea for people who like to look at pretty things.  The designs are quite simple and easy to clean.  However, they are hard to open for little hands.  The bowls are very wide and you need to grip them to open.  The hot beverage cup has a very secure flip top that requires dexterity.  My three year old could not open it on her own, even though she has accomplished hand coordination beyond her years.  Some parents might consider this an advantage.
