#BackToSchool Shopping Guide – Back to School in Style with Dudley #Giveaway

Going back to school time is not only about getting inspired once again to make lunchtime fun, it is also about getting your little ones ready to tackle everything that life at school might throw at them head on and at the same time doing it all in style. To accomplish that it involves a lot of shopping, which is fun, but only if you know where to start otherwise it can become a tedious process. However, there is no reason to fret as Dudley has the solution.

Dudley has always offered a variety of school accessories that is not only functional, but also stylish at the same time, however this time they have truly outdone themselves. In July 2014, they announced the good news that they will expand their line of school accessories by adding the Lock N Load Pencil Pod and FULLY LOADED Lunch. I was lucky to receive one of each to review.

 

The Lock N Load pencil Pod is not your ordinary portable pencil case. It has a durable, transparent compartment that is easily accessed and spacious internal storage for writing utensils. The pod also has a rotating divider, with two elastic straps and an elastic rubber band that secures the items that are placed inside the pencil pod. There are a variety of colours to choose from, as every child has their own unique style. The colours available are blue, pink, metallic, silver, green and purple.

Not only is this pencil case durable, but it has a safety feature attached to it which allows you to lock up the valuables with a three digit resettable lock. This is a wonderful added feature as it does give the child and parents the extra reassurance that all the valuables will be safe inside the pencil box. However, the down side to it is that your child will have to remember the code at all times, otherwise, he/she will have to face the dilemma of not being able to access their valuables that can result in a stressful situation. The retail price for one of these pencil boxes are $14.99.

The FULLY LOADED Lunch on the other hand is a versatile and stylish solution to packing lunch – be it for school or excursions. This 9.5”H x 7.5”W x 5.75”D lunch bag features two front mesh pockets along with smaller zippered pockets to store items that you frequently use or want close at hand for example an asthma pump or bottled water when going on an excursion with the school.

 

The inside compartment of the lunch bag is insulated that ensures that the yummy lunch you packed will stay fresh the whole day through. The insulated finish also serves a second purpose that busy mothers like me are definitely happy about, it makes the lunch bag easy to clean.

In addition, this bag is easy to carry as it offers a durable and comfortable handle which to carry it by and has the ability to stand upright or lay flat on its back when you set it down, that makes it easy to handle and accessible at all times. Like the Lock N Load pencil Pod, the FULLY LOADED Lunch is also available in many different colours, white, yellow, black, blue and pink and you can match it further with the FULLY LOADED backpack that compliments the lunchbox perfectly and makes it easier to store until needed during the school day. The  FULLY LOADED Lunch retail price is $14.99.

I would recommend the Lock N Load Pencil Pod and FULLY LOADED Lunch to any parent who wants durability, style and functionality in one product.
