Tween/Teen Boy Back to School Essentials


I can't believe there are less than two weeks until school! Truth be told, neither does my son. We're still trying to hold onto what Summer we have left!

Nevertheless, we must focus on the school year ahead and I've got ideas for whats on your tween dude's wish list.


*Headphones - once upon a time, this would have been banned from the classroom, but with technology integrating itself in schools, your kid will need good headphones.  Sol Republic is my brand of choice.


*Scientific Calculator - Geesh. When I was a kid, I don't think we could even use a calculator at school.  It be consider cheating.  Nevertheless, it's mandatory now.


*Cool Kicks - Okay, this one is not optional! Cool shoes will help put your tween or teen's school year on the right foot.  No pun intended!


*Backpacks- Not just any backpack, but something nice and sturdy, and fashionable too.  Make a statement.


*School supplies - Think planners, pens, mechanical pencils. My son prefers mechanical pencils to old fashioned ones, so this is a must have for us.


*Fly Outfits - Every one wants to arrive on the first day of school looking fresh, right?  I visit stores like Old Navy and H&M for my back to school shopping.  Don't forget Target too.  They have nice clothing for kids as well.
