Luggage & Handbags

Depending on the grade of your child going back to school, you’ll need to shop for pencils, crayons, pencil crayons, paper, erasers, glue, and all sorts of other essentials for the school year. However, it’s important not to overlook the one school supply that is responsible for toting these supplies back and forth­–the backpack. To help you in your search, here are three backpacks perfect for the young student going back to school.

Another school year is almost upon us and a backpack is an essential back-to-school item. We have tons of backpacks to choose from that will hold all you need to be successful this year!

Back to school season is different every year. Set your child up for success with the right backpack based on age, grade, and needs.

Finding the perfect laptop bag is hard—but the expandable, lightweight, super-versatile myLife Sak makes it easy.

It's the worst feeling to come home with new luggage only to find that it doesn't meet your specific travel needs? Do you need different luggage based on winter or summer travel? Most important is determining what you want to pack, and considering those small details before heading out to grab a suitable suitcase for your vacation.

Unlike some of the other topics we’ve covered in the “brief history of…” series, the modern handbag comes from extremely ambiguous origins. Humans have been using bags and pouches to carry items since long before the written word was invented, and they’ve sprung up in similar fashions all around the world.

 A new season deserves a gorgeous new bag, and there’s no better time to find on than the start of spring. Of course, the selection nowadays can be pretty overwhelming, so I’ve picked out a few great new options from the new Fossil spring line to guide you in the right direction!   

When you imagine a backpack from the future, what comes to mind? Is it this futuristic Pix Backpack, with its smart LED screen and waterproof finish?

I have had my backpack for long enough that I can’t actually remember the backpack that came before it. This one has seen me through summer vacations, weekend getaways, and—most importantly—through trips to my hometown’s biggest dog park. (It’s so big that the North Saskatchewan River runs through it, and in the summer the river is full of puppies.)  My bag is a Burton bag.

Choosing a new luggage set is kind of like choosing a new boyfriend: you want something cute, but the right kind of cute; sturdy, but the right kind of sturdy, and cutting-edge, but not confusingly cutting-edge. We at the Plug-in Blog can’t help you chose a life partner, but I can certainly help you with picking out the perfect set of luggage to accompany you on your fall/winter getaways!
