Wonderbag: A must have item going back to school
In keeping with tradition, the New Year is a time where most people are trying to find ways to improve their quality of life. But often many resolutions are made and then discarded due to time or cost constraints. Local company, Wonderbag, provides the perfect solution to mothers who want to feed their children healthy, balanced lunches this school year. This clever product acts as a convenient and safe warmer or cooler for your child’s lunches to ensure they will not spoil in the summer heat or be too cold in the winter. Health conscious mothers can now rely on the mini Wonderbag to help them equip their children with the right food to provide delicious sustenance for a full day at school.
The mini Wonderbag is truly the ideal way to store a packed school lunch. You can send yourchild off to school with a healthy cooked meal knowing that it will stay warm and won’t dry out or lose any of its nutritional value! The mini Wonderbag’s compact design makes it easy to transport and there is no cause for concern if your child spills some of their lunch inside as it is machine washable and easy to clean. Additionally, like all Wonderbag products, the mini Wonderbag does not require any electricity to warm or cool your child’s meal. Soups, curries, stews, briyani, or oats for those early morning athletes, can easily be carried along to school and stay warm until your child is able to eat it. New mothers don’t have to sit at home all day but can also easily transport nutritious baby food that has been prepared at home. Food will stay warm in the mini Wonderbag, helping you get on with daily life while providing your child with the best healthy home-cooked food.
Seeing as we are currently in the heart of summer, don’t forget that the mini Wonderbag is also perfect for keeping lunches cool. Salads, cold meats, fresh fruit, juices and water can be kept cool for hours while your child gets on with a busy school day and any extra-curricular activities. It is also perfect for packing lunches for excursions, play dates and sport activities. Mini Wonderbags are small and safe enough to be carried by your child throughout his or her school education.
Mini Wonderbags retail at R120 each and can be ordered directly from Wonderbag by emailing enquiries@nb-wonderbag.com or through an agent in your area. Or if you want to find out where your nearest agent is situated, call the Wonderbag head office.

Create Ceramics Umhlanga is a vibrant ceramic painting café located at 16 Chartwell Drive, Granada Square, Umhlanga. Open daily from 9am to 5pm, it offers a creative oasis for individuals and groups to unwind and express their artistic flair.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and shown to our seats. The inviting atmosphere, complemented by soft 70’s music, set the perfect backdrop for our creative journey. We were offered beverages from their café menu, which includes a selection of tea/coffee, curated wines, and light bites. The homemade 100% beef burgers paired with hand-cut potato chips are particularly noteworthy.
Choosing a ceramic piece was both exciting and challenging due to the extensive range available, with prices ranging from R100 to R650. The selection includes items like butter dishes, bird feeders, salad bowls, and various animals for the kids. We opted for large fruit bowls, appreciating the ample space they provided for our designs.
Before diving into painting, a friendly staff member introduced us to various techniques, such as using stickers, smudging, and scraping designs onto the paint. Her guidance was great and sparked our creativity. With our chosen paints and brushes, we spent the next hour immersed in our artwork, sipping on cappuccinos and enjoying the therapeutic ambiance.
Once satisfied with our designs, lemons for me and grapefruit with leaves for my mom – we signed the bottoms of our bowls with our names and order numbers. The staff informed us that the pieces would undergo glazing and setting, and they would contact us once ready for collection.
Booking and Additional Information
To experience Create Ceramics Umhlanga, bookings can be made through their website or by contacting them directly at 071 234 4927 or info@createumhlanga.co.za.
