When I was on a side quest for a SD memory card the other day, I stumbled into a Staples. Instantly, I was transported to the early 2000s, and eagerly preparing for my first day of school. Dorky as it sounds, it gave me such a rush to pick out brand new binders, notebooks, pencils, and highlighters. My toddler is also starting preschool, so now I’m back to back-to-school shopping. But why can’t parents get in on the fun?
Below, I found a few items that are technically made for kids, but serve as an adorable treat for yourself, too. If one just so happens to end up in your shopping cart, feel free to blame me.
Bentgo Chill Mini Lunchbox
Over the past decade, Bentgo has become synonymous with back-to-school snacking. The company offers several sizes and types, but the mini version of the Chill container is ideal for parents preparing a snack or lunch for the office, traveling, or constantly on the go. It comes with a removable ice pack, keeping things like hummus and carrots or yogurt and granola fresh for hours. For a super-sleek alternative, Lalo just dropped their own bento box, complete with a dishwasher-safe design.

Target has come to the rescue for our wallets once again, this time with a LoveShackFancy collab. There are a number of whimsically floral items to choose from, but I’m partial to this rosette-covered tech organizer.
