We come prepared!
We’re well aware that school has just ended, with school break due to kick off. But what better time to rope in the kids than now to go on a shopping spree for school supplies when that academic drive is more or less intact? Besides, nobody likes to jostle elbows last minute at the mall, or even worse to see all sorts of school essentials going out of stock. As the adage goes, “the early bird catches the worm” — and that’s exactly what we’ll be prepping you for today. From snazzy backpacks to polished shoes, we’re giving you a lowdown of the best picks for back-to-school supplies.
See Them Sparkle
Among lackluster hues of black and white, stringent school rules to follow, there is only so much room left for self-expression. Thankfully, cool backpacks like this from Gingersnaps can help inject some color into monotonous school life. And nothing says brimming life quite like a loud, colorful confetti one. More than just a sack, this one’s cool enough to be deemed as a fashion accessory.
Simple But Classy
Cue in Xiaomi’s minimalist black backpack for the older kids who’d prefer to keep a lower profile. More than meets the eye, the bag has garnered quite a patronage for its many thoughtful features. Mainly the countless compartments which have the capacity large enough for books, laptops, and stationery. We all know how it is with school, there will only be more things to carry.
See Them Rolling
A heavy backpack would be torturous to wear for a kid with a small frame. For parents overly worried about their child getting scoliosis, Disney’s Car Lightning Mcqueen Trolly Bag is a must-get. Like your luggage, rest assured, that the kiddo will have plenty of space to store their school supplies. It even comes complete with backpack straps for days when the floor’s too wet for lugging over.
The Perfect Sip
Keeping the little ones hydrated ain’t no easy job. At an age where only sugary drinks appeal, chucking down 8 glasses of water per day instantly becomes wishful thinking. To encourage more sips, we’ll need the help of this cute bottle. Rainbows and unicorn motifs aside, this insulated stainless steel tumbler can hold hot and cold water for a good six hours.
Need Arch To March
Flat feet often require no treatment, but when it’s a symptom of misaligned feet, your child will need correction. And since school’s where they’ll be spending most of their time, this calls for school shoes with good arch support. Meet My Feet’s interpretation includes a scratch-free shell, a rounded toe, and a velcro strap for easy wearing. The quality and style are incomparable, making them possibly the best school shoes ever.
Too Cool For School
While the school decorum strictly says black shoes for students, a well-polished one will make you stand out. Dr. Kong’s number even goes as far as to ensure your child has good posture by tailoring insoles suitable for their foot type. Meaning shoes with a heel cradle to redistribute heel pressure, mild arch support to prevent flat feet, a hard heel counter to stabilize the heel bone, and a soft padded insole to relieve foot pain.
