As the new school year approaches, it’s essential to send your kids off with the right personal care items. A well-stocked backpack, locker, and gym bag can make all the difference in their daily routines. Consider including toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant, as well as sweat-management essentials and shower products.

Backpack Checklist

A backpack is something your student will have access to most of the time, so it’s a great place to put toiletries that they may need on the go. Dedicate one section of your kid’s backpack to emergency items or get a small bag that can fit into their backpack to house everything.

Locker Checklist

Typically, middle and high school students have lockers to keep things in between classes and overnight. Send them to school with a small stash of personal care products, such as travel-sized toiletries, to help them prepare for any hygiene emergency they or their friends might have.

Gym Bag Checklist

Whether your kid has before-school practice, midday gym class, or after-school sports, they will need one dedicated bag for their workout attire and post-workout care. Consider using multiple bags if your kid has multiple activities, and keep the bag packed with essentials like a water bottle and towel.

College Students

College students living away from home need toiletries for daily routines, shared bathrooms, gym visits, and weekend travel. A good dorm checklist should include in-use products for the shower caddy, plus backup products that can stay in dorm storage.
