I haven't got anything fancy but everything is colour co-ordinated!
plates and bowls beakers are lime green and aqua that I've aquired in the sale to replace a set I had from Woolworths 8 years ago, these were different coloured plastic 4 of each, so could tell which one had gone missing!! Wine glasses are lime green, and the wine tastes better in the open. Set came with plastic cutlery but soon melted , lost and broke them
Cutlery set came from Tesco in the sale, metal with the aqua coloured acrylic bubble handles, they are lush!
The woolies kit came in a clear plastic pouch we still use, washing up liquid is also colour co-ordinated but in a small Theremed tooth paste bottle (perfect size for camping) the washing up sponge and cloth are aqua too!
It is fab - I got it last year from an overstocker called China search I think - I can't remember exactly how much but I think around £35. Problem is Harrods have got their hands on it and are selling it for around £85-£90 so prices have shot up. Its often on offer at various places but after posting I couldn't find any - typical!!

I got this recently to replace our tableware as some of our melamine cracked last year. Haven't tried it out yet but looking forward to using it!
Thanks for the link superjules, I've just treated myself to a set! Looks like it will be easier to pack (well thats my excuse for buying it and I'm sticking to it lol)

Mmmm like the look of that, I to need some plates etc and that looks quite funky will the cups be okay for hot drinks do you think?
Lol pager33, that was my reasoning too! I love square stuff, so much more space efficient, don't you think?!
cckids, I have just made a hot drink in one of the mugs and love my new set even more now, because: 1) they don't conduct the heat any more than melamine; 2) my aeropress fits nicely on top; and 3) I've noticed the mug handles are hooks so they will fit in the cupholder of my chair!
My only criticism is that the bowls are quite shallow, so the kids will have to make do with weetabix so that it soaks up the milk and they don't slop it everywhere!
I use tin plates and mugs, cutlery is the 3 in one knife fork spoon packs from poundland, I have cheap camping cookware that everything sticks too but for me it's half the fun of camping..lol..scraping your fried egg off the bottom of the pan without breaking the yolk is a competition!! I've got a pack of 3 cheap sharp knives, a spoon for stirring and a fish slice for scraping said egg out of the pan...that's all we need.
