Gooie Bags

Large Backpack

This large backpack is full of features. Each bag is fully lined for extra protection, has the added benefits of large zip pullers making it easy for children to use and one of my favourite features, a waterproof coating on the fabric. This school bag measures 42x32x10cm and is a great size for 6-12 year olds. It also features contoured, padded and adjustable shoulder straps with a sternum strap for both comfort and support. With 4 zip compartments and a drink bottle holder your child will always have room for their school stuff, jumpers, hats, lunch boxes, etc. They retail for $59.99 and are available in a wide range of prints – spotti dotti, xtreme sport (shown here), car-mo, navy blossom, woodlands and dino.

Small Backpack

The small backpack shares all the great features of the large backpack but in a smaller version. Measuring 36x25x9cm, this Gooie bag is the perfect size 2½ -5 years. A great bag for kindy, preschool and day care as it also has the waterproof coating in case of spills.

The post Back to School with Gooie Bags + GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.

With only a week of school holidays remaining we are now in preparation mode for the boys to return to school. These school holidays have absolutely wizzed by! This year we have both boys at school full time which is very exciting for the kids and of course my husband and I. They are very excited about choosing there new school items like backpacks, lunch boxes, shoes, pencil cases, etc. and as usual our school stock pile looks like we own shares in Smiggle. I completely understand their love for the brand though because I have a ‘slight’ Smiggle addiction myself.

Smiggle has almost everything you need for ‘Back to School’ and the range of options doesn’t disappoint. It is often hard to find backpacks that are made with quality and that won’t break within a few months of being use; the Smiggle school bags have a thick base, padded straps, divider inside, 3 external pockets in varying sizes and 2 drink bottle holders on the side. There is also matching water bottles, diaries, lunch boxes and the list goes on which gets the boys very excited when selecting their school products. Thanks to Smiggle being so bright and fun we got a huge chuck of our Back to School goodies organised without any drama or fuss and at affordable prices.

Are you ready for school to return? Where do you get your school products from?
