The ultimate first-day checklist: Own the school halls with these 5 essentials

Get the best deals with Robinsons Department Store’s Back to School Promo

The start of the school year is a chance for kids to make a solid first impression. It begins with being confident in walking down the halls in their pristine uniform and shiny new shoes while carrying a stylish bag. Their colorful notebooks and abubots could be the perfect conversation starter with seatmates, who may become their BFFs until graduation.

With back-to-school season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get everything that your kids need. Robinsons Department Store (RDS) has a wide variety of brands that will give them the confidence to ace their classes. RDS’ Back to School Promo May 29 to 31 offers discounts on select items and the best deals, such as P200 off with a P3,500 minimum single-receipt purchase, +20 Go Rewards points, and a free Mini Bag (with P5,000 minimum single receipt).

Set a shopping date this weekend with your kids, nieces, and nephews. Here are five first-day essentials you can find in Robinsons Department Store:

1. All-around bags
Every student needs a reliable bag that can carry their notebooks and textbooks. Michaela’s range of backpacks come in different colors and sizes, with some designed to fit laptops as well. They’re also made with durable recycled nylon so they can survive commutes. These are ideal for high school and college students looking for stylish bags they can bring everywhere.

2. Cool graphic tees
Make the first day of school and every day more fun with colorful graphic tees. If you’re looking for school-appropriate tops with eye-catching prints for your teens, check out Whatever’s wide selection in different colors and silhouettes.

3. Fresh food for baon
Students can’t leave home without their baon. Keep snacks and meals fresh in the fridge in LocknLock tupperwares, so they’ll have delicious food to bring as their baon the next day. This will give them the energy they’ll need to get through the day. Plus, sharing baon is a great way to make friends at school, so they won’t feel alone during breaks.

4. Colorful hair accessories
One way to motivate young kids to go to school is to style their hair with cool accessories. This will give them a much-needed confidence boost to get through their first day and the rest of the school year. Hunt for the best clips and scrunchies, as well as bags and shoes, at Playground.

5. Toiletries to go
Don’t forget to stock up your kids’ toiletry pouches for school. Moose Gear Baby has compact hand sanitizer, baby wipes, and cologne that young kids and teens can bring to class every day.
