I know, I know it seems like summer just started, yet here we are talking back to school already. Before you know it we’ll be loading those kids on to their school bus and crying like babies as our “babies” head off to their first day of Kindergarten. You may not be able to be with them all day but you can make sure they have the best products for their new school year and maybe even send them off with a little style!
You can’t head off to school without a cool lunchbox and why not get something that will help with the environment too? Check out these from PlanetBox – it’s a great new twist on that old metal lunch box!
We’ve been in love with Bento Boxes since we learned about them over 2 years ago. Pottery Barn Kids has a few options for you to choose from! They aren’t as large as the PlanetBox but do come in pink and blue, are made of durable plastic and are top rack dishwasher safe, always a plus!
These little guys will help cut down on the use of the plastic baggies and lunch trash this making them eco-friendly too! They fit perfectly into the really cute Pottery Barn Lunch boxes that come with coordinating back packs… Talk about some serious style!
Lunch boxes won’t be complete without a stylish water bottle. Since we’ve been talking about reusable items, we like the idea of replacing those juice pouches and boxes with a reusable water bottle like the Sigg or even going back to Pottery Barn Kids to keep with the theme of their matching sets.
Kids are inevitably going to get bored with their lunches. Another item on our favorites list are Kidfresh meals. We love that these healthy meals for kids are ready to heat and are made from all natural ingredients, the best part? They hide veggies in every one of their meals! So don’t be afraid to send them with some Mac and Cheese (and carrots) in their lunch. They’ll love it and you’ll be happy knowing they are eating healthy out from under your watchful eye. The quesadillas also make a great healthy afternoon snack.
The North Face makes a great backpack and it seems to be a popular choice with school kids and Moms… You know the brand and you know they make a durable product.
And what’s a back to school list without a little fashion? We’ve mentioned these before but just absolutely l
ove them.. Tiny Toms – they’re so cute they really just speak for themselves! Available in sparkly silver or pink. Love, Love.
So that’s what we love for back to school, what’s on your “supply” list?
* Huge thank you to Kidfresh (found currently at Whole Foods) , PlanetBox and Mountain High Outfitters for outfitting us with some items for our segment on ABC Talk of Alabama!
