Hot Backpacks And Other Cool Back-To-School Gear

JUAN:
SUMMER'S OVER, SO IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL
TIME, AND WE'VE GOT YOUR
CHECKLIST FROM SCHOOL SUPPLIES
TO LUNCHBOX WITHS, BACKPACKS AND
EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
OUR LIFESTYLE EXPERT, STACY, IS
HERE TO SHARE SOME OF HER TOP
PICKS, AND SHE'S GOT A LOT OF
THEM.
MY GOODNESS.
LET'S DO THIS.
LET'S GET BACK TO SCHOOL.
FIRST OFF, BACKPACKS.
OBVIOUSLY, PROBABLY ONE OF THE
MOST FUN PARTS.
JANSPORT, WHICH I CALL THE
GODFATHER OF BACKPACKS, THEY
ALWAYS DELIVER COOL PATTERNS,
THIS COLLAPSIBLE COOLER IS SUPER
COOL.
AND ALSO I LOVE THIS BURRITO
ROLL WHERE YOU CAN PUT YOUR
DIGITAL, ALL YOUR DIGITAL STUFF
THIS THERE.
SUPER CUTE, RIGHT?
JUAN: BACKPACKS ARE SO COOL
THESE DAYS.
I FEEL LIKE THEY GO UP TO
HIGH SCHOOL AND ALSO ADULTS.
A BRAND OUT OF NEW YORK CITY,
SUPER EDGY.
THEY'VE THOUGHT OF A LOT OF
THINGS.
THEY'RE ELEVATING THE BACKPACK
GAME.
LOTS OF COOL LITTLE POCKETS THAT
ARE PATTERNED FOR SUNGLASSES AND
YOUR LAPTOP AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND THEN VANS RIGHT THERE AT THE
END, THE CAMO.
CAMO'S REALLY ON TREND.
THEY'VE GOT THE CUTE BACKPACK,
SMALLER SIZE AS WELL AS COOL
KICK TOSS GO WITH IT.
ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, A FAN
FAVORITE.
, OF COURSE, SCHOOL SUPPLIES.
UB, ONE OF MY FAVORITE.
I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THEY DELIVER.
THEY'RE SO CREATIVE AND REALLY
PROMOTE SELF-EXPRESSION.
THIS CUP, FOR EXAMPLE, ALL MOMS
ARE LOOKING FOR THE CHILD-PROOF
AND MOM-PROOF CUP.
THIS IS A WATER CUP MY SON
LOVES, AND YOU CAN ATTACH IT TO
THEIR BACKPACK SO IT DOESN'T GET
CAUGHT UNDER THE SEAT OR LEFT AT
SCHOOL.
AND LOOK, IT'S A LITTLE POP TOP,
SUPER FUN.
AND SPEAKING OF KIDS WHO ARE
SUPER CREATIVE --
JUAN: I LOVE THIS BACKPACK.
IT WAS INVENTED BY AN
11-YEAR-OLD, AND YOU CAN DRAW,
KIDS CAN CREATE THEIR OWN
DESIGN.
MY KIDDIED THAT, SUPER DUDE.
AND IT'S ALSO ERASE BL. -- SUPER
CUTE.
IT WIPES RIGHT OFF, AND THEY CAN
DO ANOTHER DESIGN.
AND HE JUST STARTED HIS KICK
STARTER CAMPAIGN LAST WEEK, SO I
REALLY WANT TO SUPPORT HIM.
I THINK IT'S REALLY, REALLY
COOL.
JUAN: HOW CAN YOU NOT GET
EXCITED WITH ALL THESE
ACCESSORIES?
AGAIN, IT'S PERSONALIZING.
THESE LITTLE CHARMS, SO FUN.
ERIN, SHE'S HERE ON THE FRONT
TABLE, SHE IS THE DARLING OF
PAPER PRODUCTS.
SHE'S ELEVATED PAPER PRODUCTS TO
SUCH PRETTY, BEAUTIFUL,
DESIGN-SAVVY.
SHE ALSO HAS POSITIVE THEMING,
STICKERS AND LITTLE POST-ITS AND
CALENDARS AND PLANNERS.
SHE REALLY MAKES YOU WANT TO
CREATE THIS BEAUTIFUL WHOLE AREA
AROUND
AND FOLDERS.
THEN WE HAVE ONE OF
DISCOVERIES IS CALLED MY FOLD --
JUAN: WHEN YOU SHOWED ME THIS AT
FIRST, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT
WAS.
OKAY.
SO WHEN KIDS TRANSITION FROM A
CAR SEAT TO A BOOSTER, THE
BOOSTER IS GIGANTIC.
SO THIS THING IS CALLED MY FOLD.
IT'S TEN TIMES SMALLER THAN, TEN
TIMES SMALLER THAN A REGULAR
BOOSTER SEAT.
AND YOU LITERALLY STICK IT IN,
PUT THE STRAPS AROUND, AND
IT'S -- THERE'S A PHOTO OF A
LITTLE GIRL RIGHT THERE.
AND IT'S SO SMALL AND
COLLAPSIBLE, IT COULD FIT INTO
MOM'S PURSE OR THE KID'S
BACKPACK.
IT MAKES CARPOOL SO EASY, AND I
SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS SUCH A COOL
THING, AND IT'S $40.
JUAN: SO IT'S A PORTABLE CAR
SEAT.
IT'S A GRAB AND GO CAR SEAT.
A BOOSTER SEAT, I SHOULD SAY.
JUAN: AND MOVING THOSE CAR TO
CAR, IT'S ALWAYS HORRIBLE.
IT'S A PAINFUL.
JUAN: YEAH.
THIS IS REALLY A
LIFE-CHANGER.
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY
HARD TO GO FROM SUMMER SLIDE
BACK TO GET YOUR KIDS' KIND OF
HEADS IN THE GAME AND BACK TO
SCHOOL.
SO I HAVE GATHERED SOME OF MY
FAVORITE THINGS.
I CALL THEM BRAIN BOOSTERS.
SO THEY'RE FUN THINGS YOU CAN DO
WITH YOUR KID.
ONE OF THEM, THIS IS HOT DOTS
JR. PIZZA CAT, AND IT GIVES KIDS
IMMEDIATE KIND OF ANSWERS AND
GRATIFICATION.
SO YOU --
JUAN: LET'S TURN IT AROUND THIS
WAY.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHICH ARE
CIRCLES, AND THEN YOU HIT IT,
AND IT GIVES BACK FEEDBACK.
IF IT'S WRONG, IT'LL SAY NO.
BUT IF IT'S RIGHT -- SO, AGAIN,
IT'S INTERACTIVE, IT DOES MATH,
SOCIAL STUDIES, WORDS,
SPELLING --
JUAN: THAT'S GREAT.
IT'S A REALLY, REALLY COOL
PRODUCT.
I LOVE IT.
THEN ALSO I FOUND A LOCAL CAMP,
IT'S CALLED KINDER READY, I SENT
MY SON THERE LAST WEEK.
THEY DO READING AND WRITING, BUT
IT'S LIKE A LITTLE FRESHEN UP,
BUT IT'S ON THE BEACH IN A
SUMMER SETTING.
TO IS COOL, DEFINITELY IF YOUR
KIDS ARE STILL A COUPLE WEEKS
OUT, THAT'S SOMEPLACE TO CHECK
OUT.
WE, I KNOW YOU LOVE WORLD MARKET
FOR HOME DECOR AND DESIGN.
JUAN: OH, YEAH.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS, BUT
MY SON DISCOVERED THERE IS A
GREAT KIDS' SECTION.
THEY HAVE BOOKS AND GAMES AND
BOARD GAMES, AND ALSO WE FOUND
THESE SCIENCE KITS.
AND HE ACTUALLY TRIED IT,
BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, DOES THIS
REALLY WORK?
JUAN: IT DOES.
HE SAT WITH OUR BABY SITTER
AND SAID, OH, MOMMY, THIS IS
COPPER, THIS IS ZINC.
SO THEY HAVE CUTE LITTLE
ACCESSORY, AND THEN THESE THINGS
WHICH ARE CALLED SQUIGS, THESE
ARE GREAT FOR PRESCHOOLERS.
YOU CAN DO SORTING, COLORS, THEY
ACTUALLY STICK TOGETHER, YOU CAN
BUILD THINGS --
JUAN: AND THEY'RE FUN.
I ACTUALLY TOSSED THEM IN THE
BATHTUB TO SEE IF IT STICKS TO
THE TILE.
JUAN: 30 SECONDS, SO LET'S GO TO
OUR HOMEWORK STATION, RIGHT?
IF YOU CAN CREATE A HOMEWORK
STATION, A SUCCESS STATION FOR
KIDS, IT'S SO GREAT BECAUSE
EVERYTHING'S GATHERED IN ONE
SPOT.
AND LASTLY, ONE THING I FEEL
LIKE WE FORGET ABOUT IS WELLNESS
IN OUR KIDS, AND WE'RE ALL LIKE
BACK TO SCHOOL, LET'S GET BACK
TO WORK AND ALL THIS.
I REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE
PARENTS TO KIND OF REMEMBER TO
TIE IN WELLNESS.
GRAB A CANDLE, A PLANT, SOME
BATH SALTS, LITTLE PILLOW SPRAY
FOR YOUR KIDS, EVEN FOR MOMS.
LET'S ALL BRING IT DOWN A NOTCH
AS WE SLIDE INTO THE NEW SCHOOL
YEAR AND HAVE
SUCCESSFUL BUT ALSO CALM ENTRY
BACK INTO THE CRAZY, RIGHT?
JUAN:
INTO THE KIDS' LIFE, AND THEY
WON'T EVEN KNOW IT.
IT'S HAND SANITIZER.
IT'S A REALLY CUTE, PRETTY BIRD.
JUAN: SMELLS GOOD.
STACY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THAT'S IT.
