11. A pair of dry-erase calendars that'll help you and your kids keep track of day-to-day tasks. You’ll get two calendars: one for the whole month and one for your week, which will help the whole family remember important dates (before it's too late!).

15. A pair of ice packs that'll help make sure everything in their lunch bag stays cold for the entire day. They're extra-slim so they won't take up precious snack real estate.
16. A floral notepad and matching pencil case so they can rock up to their first day of school feeling cute and coordinated. The pad has thick, unlined pages so they can use it as a sketchbook, too.
17. A super cute thermos that'll keep their lunch warm for up to six hours. If they'll be bringing their own meals to school most days, this baby is a must.
19. A set of lined workbooks that'll have them taking notes in style. Each one is hole-punched so they can insert them into their three-ring binder.
20. A silicone tumbler that comes with a matching silicone straw so they can sip safely. It'll be great at home, school, or on the go!
21. A pack of ultra-thin webcam covers so you can have control over when their camera's exposed. They'll also do wonders to protect their camera from scratches, especially on iPads or tablets that don't close shut.
22. A set of magnetic bookmarks so they can stop bending their pages and losing the spot they left off on.
23. A set of mini highlighters that are just so gosh-darned cute! They come in a sealable bag that'll keep them separated from the rest of their stationery so they can access them without digging through their entire pencil case.
24. And finally, a floral lunch bag if they're in need of an upgrade from last year's. It's insulated so it'll keep their food fresh until they're ready to eat.
Good luck to all the kiddos on their first day back to school!
