Five Back to School Necessities for Tweens #TMMBTS

It’s so close to the first day of school I can almost hear the ringing of the bell from here. Oh wait, maybe that’s the ringing in my ears from the horrific screams of my children wanting to stay home a bit longer. In any case, school is so much sweeter when you start a new grade with the right tools. Lucky for you, I can tell you what they are.
Five Back to School Necessities
1. Zwipes: Hello, how perfect is that for my teen? She can customize with accompanying pen and doodle how she wants. This binder is one I have had my eye on for so long. It was a super addition to my daughter’s back to school supplies. She is using it now and getting the cover all blinged up with colourful drawings. I love this one.
2. Backpack from Hilroy Canada (http://www.twitter.com/HilroyCanada) available at Staples stores.
Bright Chevron print is super hot this year. Plus it’s fun. I adore the bright colourful, playful pattern print. Ainsley is using this gorgeous Hilroy Canada backpack this year. Good timing for a new backpack because last year’s backpack has been through the ringer. It was well used. She loves the ample space in this backpack and the front pocket is large enough to fit a small tablet or a book. Bright prints available as backpacks, pencil pouch, zipper and case made binder, notebook, pocket and prong portfolio and lunch bag. These cute prints make the Hilroy Canada backpacks school necessities for any tween girl. Also you need to get the adorable matching lunch bags and pencil cases to make the set complete.
3. Pencil pouch from Hilroy
Of course we needed the matching Hilroy Chevron print pencil case. Super fun, cheery prints make me happy. Chevron brights are exclusive to Staples. These pencil pouches are $4.98.
4. Adorable Urban Animals 1.5 inch binder (SRP is $6.99)
Ainsley got the bear. Very grownup.
5. Mead Avanti Animals notebook – estimated $4.99 Available at Target. Love the fun sayings. Definitely School Necessities because they are so fun! How can you be grumpy when your school supplies are this cute?
Help your child be the most stylish kid in class with these fun back to school necessities.
We received some promotional items for this post. My opinion is all my own.

These Hilroy products look great! I still need to do a bit of BTS shopping for my kids. I’ll be sure to look out for some of these!

Man I wish we had these cool products when I was in school, it may have made learning more fun LOL

I’m so grateful we are done with our back to school shopping. The kids got some great products, but nothing as cute as that backpack. I feel kind of disappointed with my peechee folders from my childhood.

The most surprising part about this post for me is that kids still use binders.
Some things never change!
