Protect your apples with a jacket

I'm not sure how well this will go over with kids, since anything too highly unusual tends to embarrass them (or is that just me writing as the result of my own personal elementary school cafeteria trauma?). However, there has to be some way that you can work the Apple Jacket into their lunchboxes because it's just too cute to not use.

The Apple Jacket protects apples (and I suspect any other fruit that will fit) from bruises and knicks. The hand-knit sleeve is 100% cotton has a darling knit leaf detail and button closure. This is probably especially useful if you carry apples around in your purse or totebag along with other things like keys and notebooks that could damage the apple.

The Apple Jacket is $14.50 and comes in three colors, pink, white, and blue.

Cute, but sounds kind of unuseless.

Ehh, my mom could make one of those. Probably would cost her at most a buck. $14.50? Waaaay too expensive.
