It’s hard to believe it’s that time already where school is starting up again. I know some of you have already started school, while others are getting ready to start soon. I can’t believe summer is almost over and fall will be here soon. It’s crazy how quick the summer went by already. Since it is that back to school time, I’ve made a list of some great back to school items. I’ve got a list of many great items, from snacks to school supplies, I’ve got it all listed. I hope that you can find something great from my list for back to school this year.
Snacks are always a must when going back to school. My kids always pack some snacks for school each year. Sometimes they have to bring the whole class some snacks, and other times they have to bring their own snacks if they’d like. I’ve always found bars to be a great choice for school snacks. MadeGood has these great choices of bars to choose from too.
Choose from granola minis, granola bars, cereal, crispy squares and chocolate chips for baking… or snacking. Starting with the all-natural ingredients we use, from dried fruits and whole grains, we select our ingredients to make tasty, healthy treats.
MadeGood products are made in a facility free from the most common allergens; peanut, tree nut, soy, dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, gluten, and sesame. These products contain hidden vegetables with the nutrients of one full serving of vegetables from six different sources. They source their ingredients to adhere to industry standards for non-GMO, organic, vegan and gluten-free products in order to ensure the highest quality of ingredients for their healthy treats.
You can rest assured that at MadeGood® their products are an allergy friendly, healthy treat and snack that is safe for school. With a selection of delicious flavors to choose from your family will be reminding you to pick some up the next time you go to the grocery store.
Looking for something different and unique? Turn your kids artwork in to stickers for your walls! Wouldn’t it be great if your kids artwork could be made in to stickers that you can put all over their rooms?! I think this is an amazing idea, and the kids are going to love coming up with their very own drawings. It doesn’t have to be on the walls either, it can really be put anywhere. I absolutely love this idea from Arts & Bricks.
With the help of artsandbricks.com, it’s easy to create one-of-a-kind wall art featuring your child’s LEGO® brick creations. Simply choose your size and order online. After ordering, you’ll be taken to a page where you can upload your photos. It’s that simple.
How about something to organize all your school items. I’ve always found organizers the best for keeping everything neat and organized. I couldn’t do without having some kind of organization. If you are looking to keep things more organized for all your school items, MollieOllie has this great organizer that works perfect for all your school supplies, or really anything you want to be more organized.
Their products are made from the best materials available. This item is not only the highest quality, but also comes with many thoughtful features we have to help you with better organizing.
Premium quality: Soft and chemical-free felt material with reinforced base ensures the caddy stays in shape even when it is empty. It carries up to 50 pounds of weight!
Smart Organization: 8 pockets of various sizes including a zipper compartment with 5 elastic loops for easy access.
Versatility: customisable compartments with removable dividers for you to store away all your school supplies.
Letter Boards make for an amazing back to school product. I love using mine for taking photos when my daughters are heading back to school. You can use the letters to have it say anything. It’s perfect for using to have kids hold on their first day of school, or maybe a special fun school activity. I also think they can make for a great gift for teachers. I’ve seen teachers with letter boards, and I think they look great in their classrooms.
They specialize in quality home decor products, beginning with our lovely gray felt letter boards. They really have a passion for helping to add a little art and creativity to your home.
When I think back to school, I also think of products to keep me feeling clean and fresh. Kids are always growing, and they’re going to also need some great products that are going to keep their bodies smelling good. AXE has always been a great brand, even my husband uses this brand. It’s great for school and college students. Our family loves the deodorant and body wash the most. AXE has this line called the Ice Chill, and it smells great. My husband really liked them, and I think they’d be perfect for back to school. Nothing like smelling great when you walk in to school, right!?
As a grooming brand, AXE wants to help guys feel confident and fully embrace their true selves — through what they wear, how they style their hair, and highlighting the qualities that are unique to them. That’s why, for its second year in a row, AXE has announced #AXEpressYourself, a social initiative that challenges guys to express themselves and experiment with new hairstyles and hair colors for a good cause.
- Available in body spray and antiperspirant stick, with a cool fragrance blend featuring frozen lemon and eucalyptus.
o To stay chill all day long, simply apply AXE Ice Chill body spray in a “7” motion across your chest, and for only as long as it takes to say the word “AXE.”
o To stay dry all day long, apply antiperspirant under your arms for 48-hour sweat and odor protection.
- Infused with a fragrance of spearmint, the 2-in-1 shampoo + conditioner provides extreme cooling.
- To keep guys chill and fresh for up to 8 hours, the body wash instantly cools the body with its iced mint and lemon fragrance.
- The all-new pocket spray helps guys get instant fresh while on-the-go, making sure they are ready to take on the day no matter when or where.
We all know when kids go back to school, they are more then likely going to get sick. My daughters always end up sick a few times a year when they’re in school. It’s that time of year, and kids being around other kids are most likely going to make them get sick at some point. I’m always looking for products that can help with them so that they can stay more healthy and hopefully not get to sick or sick at all. JoySpring has some really good products for children. They have some good ones to help with their immune systems. These are products I think are a must for the school year.
Boost your child’s immune system, improve their focus and mood and keep school germs away. The idea for JoySpring came from an experience of the owner and his wife had trying to find a solution to help their autistic daughter with focus and anxiety challenges.
They saw that most options were vitamin-candy or prescription medication, they teamed up with a nationally known herbal formalist and JoySpring Vitamins was born.
In the early years it was the owner, Jason, and his wife plugging away at a computer…fast forward to today and we have a team of 8 people on our core team, and a few we’ve sold nearly 3.5m and shipped to customers in over 14 countries.
What makes them unique is the PURITY of our products, the ease of use in a LIQUID dropper, and the FUNCTION of the products that goes beyond just a basic vitamins to memory, sleep, concentration, and immune support.
When I think of school, homework often comes to mind. My daughters always have some kind of project or homework to do. I think it’s always nice when they can sit down at their desk to do their homework. They can do this in their room now and I’m sure it’s a lot quieter when they’re in their rooms doing their homework. I also think it’s very nice to be able to have some kind of light at their desks too, which is why I really love the OttLite desk light. This light can bend around and move, which is great! It also has a few different light settings. You can keep it at a lower light level or make it brighter. Either way, this light is perfect for my daughters, especially around school time. That’s when they seem to need it most.

When it’s back to school time, I also look for something fun for my daughters to do. I think having something that they can do after school is always nice. I try to get some fun art and craft type projects because my daughters really enjoy those. I also like that they are away from technology, even after school. It’s nice for them to be able to actually have fun and do something other then being on electronics all the time. This 3Doodler Pen is amazing, and it’s perfect for kids! It’s a great activity for after school for sure.
These pens make a great gift for people all ages interested in using 3D space to make crafts and trinkets, do some woodworking, or even to design fashion.

My kids, husband and I all tried out this product and we had a lot of fun with it. It’s really neat being able to make a bunch of creations, especially when they’re 3D. You can do so much with them. It’s a lot of fun! My youngest has already made little purses for her dolls, and she loved it. She’s really been enjoying it, and I love seeing what she keeps creating too.
Snacks are always a must when it comes to back to school. My daughters always bring snacks in for school. I also love to keep many snacks on hand for when the kids get home from school. They are always hungry for something when school is out. They always get off the bus and say they’re hungry, and I can’t blame them. That’s a long time to wait after having lunch. I personally love getting all kinds of different snacks together for them. That way they can decide what they’d like when they get home. Back to Nature has some great choices to choose from too. They make a variety of products, so it’s perfect! We absolutely love their brand too. Their products are delicious!

You can’t go to school without school supplies. My daughters are always in need of school supplies each year, just like I’m sure all students are. My daughters like to get in style and fun school supplies too. They always love when there is a neat design on their school supplies. When we saw that Skrible had these great stylish pencil cases, we knew they were going to be great for school. They are of a great quality too. My daughters really like them and are excited to have them in school this year.
Say hello to style! Cool graphics are just the beginning. Skrible pencil cases hold everything you need: pens and pencils, highlighters, and even a protractor for geometry. Stylish and functional, Skrible pencil cases are made for you.

Order Out Of Chaos’ Academic Planner: A Tool for Time Management
I don’t know about you, but I love to keep things written down and organized. That usually means in a planner. I love planners because they keep everything more organized, and if I need to know what’s going on one day, all I have to do is check out my planner. I think these are perfect for school students, as well as for someone like myself, who is a blogger. Back to school time can become really busy. My kids are always keeping busy with school and activities. I love to keep all of their school things organized in this Academic Planner. I also love the stickers because you can use them to stick in the planner to keep track of things.
It’s Easy To Use. The planner’s patented design allows students to see when assignments are due and tests scheduled ALONGSIDE after-school commitments and free blocks of time.
It’s Functional. Seeing both scheduled and available blocks of time creates an easy and natural method for students to record and review their weekly schedules facilitating weekly time management and planning strategies.
It Puts the Student in Control. Writing down assignments requires students to keep track of assignments and deadlines themselves and reinforces what needs to be done.
- Girls are our future.
- Every girl deserves to be comfortable.
- True style embraces every shape and size.
- Girls need to be reminded of their inner beauty and strength, every single day.
If you have younger little ones and are looking for something great for them to eat, Yummy Spoonfuls has some great food items. It’s nice to have some great options for the little ones. When my kids were younger I’d often pack some foods for them myself for school, or I’d have something ready for them when they got off the bus. Either way, Yummy Spoonfuls have these great meals for younger kids. You’ll find some great organic options for them.
Yummy Spoonfuls is made by mothers with the health of children as their number one priority. Rather than compromising taste and nutrition for convenience, they bring healthy AND convenient food to busy parents across the U.S. Their food is gently made from scratch and then frozen to deliver the nutrients our children need without the use of preservatives. Don’t just take their word for it, compare their label and they guarantee you’ll be impressed.
Their Yummy products are proud winners of the Clean Label Project Purity Award for demonstrating an unwavering commitment to clean and pure ingredients. Compared to similar products in the market, it’s easy to see Yummy Spoonfuls uses the cleanest ingredients.
One thing that I love to do with my daughters school stuff, is to label it. I know schools want you to label some things sometimes. Usually they want us to label folders or backpacks. Also when winter comes around, they always like when we keep labels on winter gear too. Being as I don’t exactly like using markers to label everything, Mabel’s Labels really comes in handy. These are like stickers that you can just put on items, and they actually stick really well too.
Looking for durable custom sticky name labels? Their multipurpose adhesive name tags are dishwasher and microwave safe, waterproof and simple to apply – just peel and stick! Whether you need to label bottles and sippy cups, toys, school supplies, sports gear or even electronics, they have a name label for your needs.
How about some back to school fun adventures?! If you’re looking for a fun adventure kit for kids for when school comes, I have just the thing for you. This Gnome on the Roam kit is perfect for kids. If your kids are super busy this school season, this kit can be really helpful for them. Bring the Gnome kit with you on all your school adventures. Write down some things you’ve done during the school year with the gnome. It’s a lot of fun for kids, and when you get older, you can look back at all the fun adventures you’ve taken!
My Gnome on the Roam® kit is more than just a toy and a book gift and was designed to provide tools and inspiration for busy families to explore, create and connect. The kit includes a copy of the My Gnome on the Roam Award Winning Story Book, an adventure journal filled with blank pages, a colorless ready-to-be-painted gnome and a magical pen.

My Gnome on the Roam’s mission is to help families build creative adventures and fun memories in as little as 30 minutes a week.

Keeping your mouth clean is always a must no matter the days. Some may find it even more important when school arrives because you want to have your best smile while around everyone. If you like to keep floss on you, then Plackers have some great products for on the go as well as keeping around the house. Either way, I think flossing is extremely important. You can check out Plackers to see all the different kinds of floss products they have.

Maybe you don’t have an option for using an outlet, but that’s okay. With the Philips battery pack, you can use this to charge things like your iPad or iPhone. This is a great option for those that may be on the go often, just like being in school! This could be a great way to keep your phones charged while at school. I always love these battery packs and I use them myself. I think they are a great option for many.

Cordinate USB Charging Extension Cord
Technology has become such a huge part of life, and that even includes school. My daughters often have to use technology for some of the school projects. I think having an USB charging extension cord is a must when it comes to school, especially for college students. These can be used to keep things charged, and I love that. It’s 10 feet too, so it’s got a great length. I know many people now days have laptops, cell phones and tablets, so it’s nice to be able to have those charging. I know when my kids get a bit older, they will be bringing home their own laptops for school, so this will be nice to have for keeping that charged.

I’m having denial that it’s almost time for school again! Summer has gone by way too fast! I really like your list of school supplies. I think they’re versatile for high school and college students.
I completely agree. It really did go to quick.
I need some of these! The battery pack, for one. We always need more juice for devices. Plus a USB cord. And snacks.
I agree. The battery pack is great to have.
The new Axe Ice Chill line sounds great. I may pick up a few to see how the guys like them!
My husband really liked the line.
I love that Back To Nature makes small sizes of their crackers. My boys would love these in their lunches.
I love it too. They are a great brand.
Wow, there’s a lot of great products here! My son is a big fan of the AXE brand and my daughters would especially love that colorful academic planner.
AXE is such a great brand. We all love it in our household too.
My grandkids started 4k today but thankfully they don’t have a huge list at this age. These are some great products for any age though.
I think it can be crazy with the amount of school supplies they need.
These are some great items to help get you ready for the back to school time. I have to admit I quite fancy trying those Made Good bars myself.
Agreed! Lots of great items for sure.
Love all these suggestions. The gnome is adorable! And my hubs will love that scent of Axe!
Right! We really love the Gnome.
I love all of your back to school product options. They are useful and very handy. You took time to bring this collection home.
I’m glad you like them.
I love back to school stuff! The Ottlite looks like it could be really helpful for my girls!
Me too! The Ottlite is the best! My daughter really loves it.
These are all really great products! We love the Made Good bars a lot, it reminds me that we need to buy more.
I’m glad you love those too. I think they’re good.
Time flies! I cannot believe it’s that time! Summer flew. Your list of school supplies is perfect, great picks!
It sure does. I can’t believe it’s back to school already.
wow! What a complete list! I love that this has so many unique and fun items. You did your research~
Right! Lots of great items for sure.
Elderberry is a life saver! We love those Made Good products too.
I agree. It’s great!
I absolutely love Mabel’s Labels! They were so necessary when my kids were younger as it seemed like their stuff ended up in the lost and found on a regular basis. I wonder if I can still get away with labeling all their stuff now that they’re in middle school. They still lose things a lot! 🙂
I love them too! I think it’s nice to be able to label their stuff no matter what the age.
My boys went back to school last week and I’m sad. Summer flew by way to quickly this year and with it in the 100s daily still being in school seems weird. Days when it is 100 outside, is a day your are supposed to spend at the pool.
Axe is a must have for my boys. I can’t have them going to school smelling awful. 🙂
I could use the extension cord with the USB port chargers too. I’m always needed an available outlet and having them built in makes more sense.
I think it’s crazy it’s back to school time too. For us, it hasn’t been that nice out lately. Just in the 70’s. I can already feel fall coming.
I definitely see a few things that we need to get! You can never have too many snacks.
Right!
I wouldn’t mind having one of those lights on my desk.
That is one of my favorites too. My daughter really likes hers.
I want to get an Ott light. It is so helpful for reading and detailed work.
We love ours. It’s been so helpful.
A lot of wonderful ideas that I love and are so useful and perfect for school! I really need those lunch ideas from Yummy Spoonfuls.
Yummy Spoonfuls is great! They have nice meals for younger kids.
So many great items to choose from, my daughter will definitely love to get the academic planner and that Philips USB battery pack.
Lots of great items for sure. Those two ones you picked are very nice too.
I love that Mollie Ollie organizer. Looks like it could hold a ton of stuff!!!
Me too. It’s been great for holding all kinds of stuff.
You have rounded up such a great list here. I like the desk light most of all. It is so adorable and would be perfect on my son’s desk.
That’s one of my favorites too. My daughter really loves hers.
These are all awesome stuff to not miss. They are going to help with school a lot. Finding the right things won’t be easy.
I agree. This is a list with so many amazing items too.
We buy the back to nature snacks for the kids. They like them a lot.
I’m glad to hear it. We really love their products too.
Oh wait it is not a lunch bag but a diaper organizer, poof. Kindly delete my first comment.
Anyway, I would love to get some pair of those bra for my daughter, I’ll check them out.
It’s actually not really a diaper organizer either. Just an organizer for anything really. Works great for organizing all kinds of items.
I think my college student could probably use that extension cord, he is going to be living in a rental house this year. Old houses never seem to have an outlet where you want it.
Yes, for sure. Those are great for college students.
Oh, wow! I really like the 3Doodler. This is definitely a product to put on my Amazon wish list as gifts for the kiddos. I’m fairly sure sharing will be an issue with this cool find! Thanks for the great round-up.
My daughters love the 3Doodler. They have been having so much fun with it.
My kids love protein or snack bar! We haven’t tried the Made Good bar, sounds like a good one!
I love them too. Lots of good protein.
those are great products, I really like that caddy organizer for the car
I really like it too. My kids use it for on their desk.
Summer is too Short! I am doing my back to school shopping this week. Thank you for reminding me that I need to pick up some Axe for my son
I agree. I wish there were more summer days.
Those are some great and useful items to have. I think having that Mabel’s Label is a great idea so you wont lose your stuff.
Agreed! Mabel’s Labels are amazing. Great quality too.
So many great suggestions. And I am loving the Mollieollie. I need one of these for myself.
I love that too. It’s so nice to have to keep things organized.
