Must-Have Back-to-School Gear You Can Find Online
School Bags
First up: backpacks and lunch bags. JanSport and L.L. Bean
are old standbys for a reason. Both brands sell high-quality packs with fun,
interesting designs. JanSport’s new backpacks offer a variety of choices, from pineapple and floral designs to plain and polka-dot ones.
They have backpacks for adults, teenagers, and your wee ones. The same goes for
L.L. Bean. They even break down children’s backpacks by age, making it easier than ever to select the right pack for your kiddo. If
your child is ten or older, try one of the rolling packs to lighten the load.
JanSport and L.L. Bean also have several lunch bag options. For more lunch boxes, you can
sort through Amazon’s large selection. We like this small and inexpensive green one from MIER. If your son or daughter loves superheroes, then check out
the Thermos
lunch boxes.
Pottery Barn Kids has many different styles of lunch bags that you can coordinate
with their backpacks. Your kid can choose from dinosaurs, butterflies, Star
Wars™,
unicorns, the solar system, and more.
School Essentials
Worry about the essentials next: paper, notebooks, folders, pens,
pencils, and, of course, printer ink. You might want to pick up staples, tape, glue, paper clips, notecards,
and a calculator too.
Buying the right essentials depends on what age your kid is.
For example, you could probably skip the glue and tape if you have a teenager
or college student. Amazon has a great supplies guide for each grade group. But before ordering, do a quick inventory to see if you
already have some of these items at home. No sense in wasting money on products
you already own!

child will need, check out our rundown
from last year.

Electronics for School
While electronic devices may not be necessities yet for your
younger child, your older student will most likely need a laptop or tablet. Laptop Mag highly rates the Asus ZenBook for university students although it
is a little pricey at roughly $600. Students majoring in a creative field might
want to consider the iPad Pro or Microsoft’s Surface tablet. Samsung and Dell laptops
also are top rated for all types of students.
If your high school or college student will be writing a ton
of reports and essays, invest in a thumb drive (USB flash drive) or memory card.
You’ll need USB cables too.
