Back-to-School essentials (and sales) to kick off the year

Kick their school year off with all the essentials - and all the sales! We've found 50 school supplies your kids will find insanely useful. We know your kids are looking for the right style, color, print - but you've got to make sure your hard-earned money goes towards a backpack that won't bust and a laptop that is powerful enough to get through those late night study sessions.

Whether you're sending your little one off to their first year of pre-school with a bento box of snacks or your 18-year-old off to life in the dorms for their freshman year of college, they're going to need sustenance to keep their brain stimulated through all that learning! They're also going to need support from their teachers when the going gets tough. Help them break the ice and learn to ask for help with these amazing gifts every teacher will love.

Since the first day of school is just around the corner, we tapped some clever moms and parenting pros to share their best back-to-school tips to help make your kids' summer-to-school transition as smooth as possible. School isn't just pens and planners (though they do still need them). It's making new friends to watch movies with on a Friday night and it's DIY'ing matching bookmarks so you and your BFF can be twins even when you're in different classrooms.
