Back to school Stationery Ideas...

Now is a great time to take advantage of the Back To School Stationery promotions that are finishing up.  With the children back at school and some stores reducing even further the items, you can really grab yourself a bargain.

Ideas to make the most of Stationery bargains include:

1)  Birthday Party Bags - stationery bits and pieces make great inclusions in party bags.

Ideal Party Bag Filler Pack.  Only $4 for the pack from KMART. 

2)  General Annual Stock Up - there is nothing worse than constantly looking for a decent pen, pair of scissors or packet of staples when you need one.  Take this opportunity to replenish your stocks.  Make sure you create a 'home' for your goodies so you never have to go looking again.

Cute scissors from Coles - pack 2 for $1.40

3)  Packs - Are you going on holiday?  Grab some stationery and make up some holiday craft packs.  Perhaps a 'travel pack' filled with bits for your child when you are out and about? 

I would love to hear your ideas.... Do you stock up this time of year?

The search for the school lunchbox!

My kids like to change the style of their Back To School lunch box every year.  As they say, variety is the spice of life...

I had spent a few trips looking for the perfect lunch box and just couldn't really find anything that would suit the variety of items we pack each day.  Then, whilst not even looking, I came across the following lunch boxes and was stoked at the style and even better the PRICE!!

 

The Decore set includes an insulated cover, frozen ice bottle inside lid of the cover, clear plastic lunchbox with attachable fork, 3 small containers and a small waterbottle that you could freeze and sit on top of your sandwich for additional cooling.

 

The whole set was $10 at the local Woolworths store.  A great deal when you consider the insulated covers alone were $11 in a similiar brand.
