Stylish organization... We took a wallet that was literally overflowing with credit cards, receipts, gift cards, insurance cards and more and organized it into this simple little card cubby and the result was a wallet that could actually be closed.The alphabetical sorting cards mean that there is no more rummaging when you are at the register because you simply go straight to that divider.

WebsiteParentClick Back to School Product Reviews - Fall 2008 We loved this bag! It is hip, fun, stylish and all around great for any woman. I love the way the laptop fits into the back pocket leaving you plenty of room for papers in the interior compartment. My old bag only fit my laptop and I always had to carry an additional purse to hold a wallet and sunglasses. I took it out for a little test drive and received several comliments.
A little pricey but a bag that you will want to use often. You will want to check out their site to see all their products including laptop cases, carry-on luggage and gadget accessories. Another item that looks great is their iPod/Camera case that could also hold a cell phone. Perfect for when you are out with the kids and don't want to carry a purse.

The lunchbox is 8"X7"X4", lead-free, food safe and the designs are water-resistant. Price: $30 Purchase: You can purchase online.
WebsiteParentClick Back to School Product Reviews - Fall 2008 These old fashioned lunchboxes are adorable and the only problem you will have is deciding on which fun pattern to choose. The young girls we tested them on loved them. The moms felt they would make great gifts and work well as a place to hold art supplies. It is hard to imagine them working well as an actual lunchbox since there is no insulation to keep food items cold.

Eastsport has a new backpack, called "Air Pack," that addresses safety concerns with kids carrying heavy bags.
Air Pack backpack: Has a built-in, adjustable air pillow in the lower back to relieve pressure from heavy contents. It was designed with today's youth in mind, knowing they carry bags stuffed with school books, sports gear, computers and more. The Air Pack is super light-weight and durable. Price: $19.88.
Another new bag collection by Eastport, called "Natural," appeals to parents and families interested in eco-friendly products, bags are 100% biodegradable. The Natural collection: Totes, messengers, duffels and more are 100% biodegradable, made with 100% biodegradable materials - fabric, hardware and dyes.

ParentClick Back to School Product Reviews - Fall 2008 The "air pack" is a great idea for kids although it is hard to tell how durable the little air pouch is. The size works better for older kids and teens. The ability to store your skateboard on some of the styles is a nice feature and you cannot beat the prices!
Although the Eastsport Natural Collection totes were spacious, we were not impressed with the expensive price for such a basic bag. We know that often you pay more to go organic but there really were no unique features to these "natural" duffels and totes. They would work well as diaper bags or a catch-all bag for travelling.
My son uses his backpack and loves it. It has been great when we go on the airlines since it keeps everything together and he can strap on his skateboard. [John 10/02/08]
The Jimi wallet is a compact, colorful, and water resistant answer to the stodgy outdated leather wallet. It's designed to slip into your front pocket, purse, or around your neck on a lanyard. If you like cash, JimiX forgoes the internal money clip for a higher capacity and more robust external money clip. And what to do with those pesky, easy-to-lose memory cards? Try an SD card clip for your Jimi wallet or a Jimi Multi Media memory card case, which holds a whole range of different memory card sizes. And just launched the Jimi Game Shell. A compact, attachable case that carries DS, PSP games and Sony memory sticks. Purchase: You can purchase online or click here for retail locations.
WebsiteParentClick Back to School Product Reviews - Fall 2008 An interesting idea. We tested it with kids, dads and moms. This recyclable wallet is great for the person who hates wallet. Compact so it can be great for sports activities. The popular item with the kids was the Jimi Game Shell case that can hold DS & Wii cards which is excellent for travelling.
Waste-Free Lunch Kit - Reusable, waste-free lunch kit includes recycled cotton sack, cloth napkin, 16 oz. stainless steel beverage bottle, food kozy, and two stainless steel food containers. $40 Purchase: You can purchase online.

ParentClick Back to School Product Reviews - Fall 2008 This is a nice option for a lunch box with proportional containters. It is great looking and will instantly make you feel environmentally responsible. The food kozy is interesting and is meant to replace plastic wrap - you simply fold the koz around your sandwich and then wash it off at night. The only negative is not having an insulated bag to keep the food cool. At $40, it is also an expenisve lunch kit.
I love the stainless steel containers, and the food kozy is ingenious. The kits are great! My kids love them! They are teaching me on how to REUSE. [Christy 12/22/08 Parent]

WebsiteParentClick Back to School Product Reviews - Fall 2008 Le Sportsac has a huge selection of bags and takes me back to being a kid since these seem never to go out of style. We tested out hte Basic Backpack with the Meow print and our young testers though it was terrific. There are several styles and lots of fun prints. Although moms loved this fun and lightweight backpack, they found the price a drawback. $80 can be a bit steep for a school bag. We did not get a chance to test but we did think the men's bags were impressive and would be great for dads with the the styles ranging from messenger bags to duffles.
