PackIt is the smartest, simplest way to keep food and drinks cool anywhere. Our bags work just like a refrigerator on the go, continually chilling your food and drinks for up to 10 hours. The secret is in the cooler’s freezable gel liner. Simply store the entire bag in the freezer overnight. Once the bag is frozen, its walls generate waves of cold air that chill your food and drinks from all sides. PackIt’s patented built-in technology keeps items cool all day without ever needing ice packs. It’s so powerful that it can even drop the temperature of liquids 25 degrees within the first hour. That’s right—it actually makes room-temperature items cold. PackIt’s cooling power is so long-lasting that you can safely bring home leftovers in our cooler bag, reducing waste and saving you money—a win-win! Purchase here.

StemBox – STEM learning kits: Each month StemBox delivers hands-on STEM learning to girls 8-13. Girls also receive exposure to some of today’s most inspiring women in STEM through educational videos and interviews. At StemBox, they believe in breaking down stereotypical ideas about gender and toys. They love it when we see boys asking for
their own StemBoxes and becoming young STEMinists. Science is for everyone! However, due to the lack of girls in STEM it is clear that action needs to be taken to reach out to girls who may not think science is for them by meeting them where their interests
currently lie. And sometimes that means adding a bit of pink! Subscribe right now at MyStemBox.com

My niece loves Mr. Sketch Scented Markers!
StemBox looks really cool!
This would be a perfect idea for a Niece of mine! I like that it would be a surprise every month, and teaches so many things!
Great list of good items. I have only bought a few items for back to school. The past 3 years, I have bought everything on the school’s list and they send it all back to me, not needing it. This year I will wait other than the few things I know they will need
I am going to check out the Pack It item. I think my grandson could use that, since he does take his lunch everyday.
