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.

  3. Yogurt tubes! I’m not sure what my kid used to do with his backpack, but yogurt tubes did not survive the stress test and would burst open. What a mess. Hilarious when your kid also doesn’t think there needs to be anything done about it 😉

  4. Children should not put a frozen Ice Cream Bar in their backpacks because it will melt and cause a mess.

  7. Never, ever forget to check your child’s backpack for half-finished bottles of drinkable yogurt, YUCK!

  9. Kids should never start a chocolate bar and decide to save some for later without re-wrapping it! Nice mess for the parents to clean up for sure!

  19. Kids should never put an open pudding container in their bag that they “didn’t like so didn’t eat”. What a mess.

  20. Kids should never put whoopy cushions (that make farting noises when sat on) or rubber snakes and spiders.This is coming from a teacher who has been on the end of many practical jokes because of things like these.Even though the kids just a real hoot ,they usually startled me first thing in the morning.Funny now that I think back….

  31. I think children should never put popcorn kernels in their backpack because if it’s left out in the sun it can sound VERY scary to the other kids! (and yes, this did happen to me!!! I was bringing popcorn kernels in for my science experiment!!!)

  32. Parents’s “special”gummies or Leaky water bottles & yogurt containers that open too easily!

  35. Oh my, so many things I have found in my kids bags that should just not be there. Rocks? Interesting rocks of course. Sand. Chewed gum. I’d say if I had to pick ONE to mention, it would be the used gum, tossed in their bag on a hot Friday and found two days later stuck to some school papers. Fun times.

  42. My kids should never put a Banana in their backpacks. They get mushed and they forget about them. Just nasty.

  43. I don’t have any kids but I have definitely left bananas and salmon or tuna sandwiches in my backpack by accident – do not recommend

  46. WORMS!! Big fat nightcrawlers that unfortunately didn’t make it! Left to rot in the bottom of the bookbag!!
