Students need at least two Herschel Supply products to be prepared for school. For the general items, a backpack or messenger bag is perfect to carry school books, note paper, pens, and their laptop. Specifically for their laptop, students must have a padded, dedicated laptop sleeve. I’ll go into more details about why I am making this claim, and then you can enter for a chance to win a pair of Herschel products so you are prepared when the school season begins.
School can be brutal on laptops and books
How many backpacks have you bought over the years? I have bought many … too many to count in fact. Some years, I’ve had to buy several after a backpack was damaged by weather or something. I remember a friend told me they forgot their child’s backpack on the roof once: it didn’t survive getting batted around when it fell onto the highway!
My children are done school now, but my wife is still in school, as a teacher, so I’m still buying backpacks—for her! And her favourite brand is Herschel. Trust me: she has tried many. She loves the style, the versatility, and the comfort carrying her Herschel backpack: from our island home, onto the ferry, on the train into Vancouver and back, her books and tech are protected. She also uses a Herschel sleeve to protect her laptop. She says, “I’d be lost if my laptop broke … all my lessons and notes and assignments are on there.” Yes she backs up her data, but a broken laptop would seriously set her back.
I hope some of your can relate to my wife’s situation. Students, teachers, and many others rely on Herschel products … and for good reasons.
Herschel multipurpose bags perform an essential service
Every student needs a backpack or messenger bag. In an era where textbooks are only a portion of a student’s learning arsenal, these bags offer expansive storage space for various items, from notebooks and tablets to calculators, water bottles, and lunch boxes. Herschel bags, with their multiple compartments, promote organization and ease of access, reducing the stress of misplaced items and keeping the learning process streamlined and efficient.
Herschel’s multipurpose bags are renowned for their robustness and longevity, crafted from high-quality materials that withstand daily wear and tear. Their ergonomic design ensures comfort, a critical feature considering the amount of time students spend carrying their bags around. Additionally, Herschel bags come in an array of trendy designs and colours, allowing students to express their individual style while maintaining practical functionality.
Herschel laptop sleeves play a crucial role in your life
Every student has a laptop and on that laptop is the entirety of their student life: protection is of utmost importance. As I said above, my wife backs up her data: I bet most students don’t! Herschel laptop sleeves are crafted to offer maximum protection, with protective padding that shields laptops from physical shocks and damages. Water-resistant properties offer protection against accidental spills, a common occurrence in student life.
Along with providing protection, Herschel laptop sleeves add an extra layer of convenience. Lightweight and slim, they’re easy to carry around and can be effortlessly slipped into Herschel backpacks or messenger bags. This ensures that students’ laptops are always accessible whenever needed.
I firmly believe a student needs both of these items: a multipurpose bag and a laptop sleeve. That is why this contest is giving away both to each winner … and there are going to be three winners! Follow the instructions carefully so you have the best chance to win.

Children should never bring pets in their backpack to school
Children should never put a monster in their backpack. It upsets the monsters, who prefer to hang out under beds and in closets.
chocolate bars in summer or bananas..
Children should never put felt markers in their backpack. Left out in the sun and\or squished they completely change the look of that backpack and contents. It’s happened to us with a brand new backpack. HA
Any food outside of their lunch kit because they are more than likely going to go bad before they are found
Simple cheese sandwich
a tuna sandwich should never, EVER go in a backpack because you can almost guarantee it won’t come out.
It’s not a good idea to try and put the family pet in your backpack for show and tell.
Moldy left overs!
lunch not eaten
Mittens from the winter were still in my bag in June
A half eating chocolate bar in the middle of summer,lol.
Kids should never take a container of milk in their school bags…of course because it sours quickly. As a mom of 3, ask me how I know this! 🙂
popsickle
A friend’s child asked if he could have a pop as a treat. She didn’t totally hear them in the rush that morning and agreed to have him get ready to go. He decided to pack a wobbly pop though. That was a nice call from the school.
Ice cream sandwich. A real melty mess!
never put a frog in the backpack
Don’t pack fruit if your kid is a picky eater. It’s pretty gross to clean at the end of the week
Lunch for their last day of school. I know this from experience when I opened my backpack again on the first day of the next school year and my moldy sandwich made my backpack smell like death.
Rocks! Seriously….when my son was young he collected so many rocks on the way to/from school. I wondered why his bag was so heavy until I checked!
Tuna salad sandwich
lunch – it can stay in there all year
Accidentally taking the 6 pack of beer that I forgot to take out…
Drinks because it always spills!
i have found many a lunch not eaten, which i have told him many times to take out…… yuck!!
Never pack ice cream or you’ll have a big leak.
cotton candy
A pet white mouse – maybe fun at home – but not school,
a child should never put a pet in a backpack…good thing we heard her meowing….
Never leave a banana in your backpack, worst smell ever.
My son loves Nutella, so at 12 year old, he decided to make a “generous” Nutella sandwich but did not wrap it properly so you can only imagine what happened on that fine mid summer day in the lunch room…
I just shared on FB as Julie Farmer
Pet rat or mouse, the poor thing would terrorize everyone!
My kids should never bring their pet dog to school

Lunch with fruit that was fresh a month ago.

A sound effect machine because you don’t ever know when it’s goung to go off. My son had one in his back pack and it started making farting sounds and saying school sucks. He got sent to the principals office lol.
Never pack a lunch on the last day of school. I remember getting my bag ready for the first day of school only to find the remnants of those lunches (yes, multiple times).
