Helpful back to school tips from Home Depot

Solve your storage issues stylishly with this set of white and metallic silver, Tall round storage baskets, handmade with strong plastic rope. Each contemporary-style basket has thick, coiled handles jutting out from the Tall round, bucket-shaped body. The white block color up top juxtaposes the metallic silver base for a dramatic, contemporary look. These round baskets nest together for easy (very cool looking) home storage.

We are using the three storage baskets for our kids shoes. As soon as they walk in the front door they know to take their shoes off and put into their basket. Best part about this is the next morning when you are running out the door there isn’t a search for shoes!

The BENTGO Glass Lunchbox is the clear choice for meal prep, food storage and packing a healthy lunch for work or school. We have combined everything you love about our bento-style lunch solutions into a first-of-its-kind glass lunch container that provides a healthy alternative to plastic. With 3-portion-controlled and leak-proof compartments, a leak-proof lid and our industry-leading 2-year warranty, BENTGO Glass has everything you need to take a health-conscious lunch on the go.

In our house we make lunch the night before so it isn’t a rush in the morning. The Bentgo box is perfect for picky eaters because the kids can decide what items they want to put in their lunch.

A POP of Fun – Keeps your dry foods fresh and your home organized Stackable and space-efficient, POP Containers are designed for modular use, so you can organize in any number of height combinations to fit your countertop and pantry. Push-button mechanism creates an airtight seal with just one touch, making it easy to keep your dry foods fresh.

These containers from OXO Good Grips are a huge help for lunches and for breakfast in the morning. We allow the kids (except the 6 year old) to pour their own cereal in the morning. When using the OXO Good Grips containers I know the cereal will never go stale.
