The top 7 items that are must-haves for back to school.
Bottom line, the kids need em, they might as well be durable and cool. Our favorites are the Ogio Bounty Hunter Pack, the Jansport Cool Student Backpack and the High Sierra Loop Pack (pictured.). The cool factor is a MUST with the kids, and with many BYO device school requirements, computer packs are more important than ever. For clear backpack requirements, make sure that the bags do have stitched borders so that they don't break during the year.
Many schools are requiring students to bring their own water bottles to school, and making sure they are leak proof and easy to use is important.
And with today's youth, making an impact on society is a growing trend especially in the Colleges. Look to brands like Hydro Flask and MiiR to provide bottles that make an environmental impact.
Let's not forget the fashion here folks! And to be clear, I'm talking about apparel that fits well, lasts and when it comes to schools, helps build community.
Custom hoodies are a staple item in School Spirit Stores, and our favorite is the Comfort Colors garment dyed sweatshirt, multiple colors and so soft it's like butter!
As for t-shirts, our go-to is the Bella Canvas brand that has a great feel and a retail cut that appeals to the college and High School crowd. Not to mention Mom & Dad repping the school! Y'all didn't think I'd forget the Barbie reference now, did you? Comfort Colors has you covered in Pink across it's line of apparel so whether your tween is a Barbie or Ken, they can still look cool for school.
