When the lovelies at Asda offered to send me a back to school care package I was very pleased to say the least! Our package included polo shirts, a lunch box and a pencil case.
The polo shirts I was thrilled to receive as I’ve had these from George (Asda) before. I have a (now) seven year old son who arrives each day at school neat, tidy and shiny and comes home looking like he’s been dragged through a hedge backwards. This means white tshirts don’t stay white for long and thankfully these clean up brilliantly on a relatively cool wash without becoming murky. Starting at just £3 makes them all the more attractive to me who seems to spend a small fortune each summer restocking uniform, PE kit and everything else!
Next up was a generously sized pencil case with owls on it. This was proclaimed as “too girly” so has been shamelessly stolen… by me. Kieran doesn’t actually need to take a pencil case or tin into school yet however does need stationery and bits and pieces for him homework box. The range at Asda are high quality and won’t break the bank either.
Last but not least (and my personal favourite) is the Sistema Slim Quaddie in blue. This is a lunch box which has a number of small sections which are easy to open and the bottom features a large compartment perfect for bagels, sandwiches etc. Kieran adores this, and there is one section that holds a conveniently sized juice bottle. If your child wants to use a different one this bottle could be used at home and the section would hold more foodie goodies. Kieran has tested his over the summer at his play-scheme and it is the perfect size to fit inside a lunch bag with a handle and still fit a normal sized juice bottle at the same time.
Kieran had hot school dinners at the end of last year but has asked to go back to packed lunch mainly because of his fun new lunch box.
Asda have come up trumps for us in the past when it comes to Back To School, and continue to do so. You may now use Paypal on the Asda Direct site too which is handy for many. Check out the full range here.
