Luggage & Handbags

The beginning of August means one thing, for families with school-aged kids: the beginning of back-to-school season. While it doesn’t necessarily set in for all of us immediately (my family, at least, was always a last-minute kind of family), with the big 0-9 sets in the beginning of the back-to-school tremors.

Every year during back to school time, my kids pick out a new backpack. It’s a fun tradition we’ve had since my first child started school, and I love seeing what cool new backpack they’ll pick each year. Here’s a look at all of the trendy and practical backpacks available on Bestbuy.ca right now.

My favorite time of year is fall because I love fall fashion and trends. I’m doubly excited for Fossil’s new fall handbags and Best Buy Canada sent a few my way to review.

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!

It’s no secret that women have different needs than men; however, I’ve found that when there’s a women’s version of what can otherwise be considered a unisex product, it’s typically just a smaller, pinker, pricier version of its big brother–something I like to call “pinking it and shrinking it.” But sometimes, manufacturers really hit the nail on the head when it comes to addressing the needs of those of us with two X chromosomes. So with that in mind, here’s a list of the top five backpacks for women.

Whether I’m just taking a day trip or going away for a week, I’m always worried about overpacking.

Here are some ideas for keeping your luggage lightweight, and suggestions for some good carry on options.

If you’ve been reading the Best Buy Plug-In Blog for a while now, you’ll probably be familiar with TUMI. They do a lot of stylish, well-made, super functional luggage pieces … but this fall, they’re coming out with a collection that’ll change the way you look at TUMI for good.

Getting the most out of your adventures starts with having the right supplies. Plan, prepare, and purchase all the necessities needed to travel like a pro.

 I read once that it’s not about “what you carry” but “how you carry it” and I couldn’t agree more. See, I have what some might call a bag fetish and am always adding to my collection. Whether you too have a weakness for bags of all kinds, or are simply looking for something practical and stylish to get you from point A to point B, I’ve got you covered with this round up of what I think are the best new bags for the season.

The Samsonite S-Lite 2-piece luggage set is best for, well, travellers like me. Because it's a 2-piece set, you're not weighed down by the extra 28" piece.
