We know what you’re thinking…
“Surely it’s not time for Back to School emails yet?
I’m still on holiday.
I’m still in swimmers. I’m still holding a cocktail at the pool bar.”
I’m still on holiday.
I’m still in swimmers. I’m still holding a cocktail at the pool bar.”
Meanwhile, your inbox is screaming:
SCHOOL. SCHOOL. SCHOOL.
Like a freight train you did not order.
SCHOOL. SCHOOL. SCHOOL.
Like a freight train you did not order.
So before the Term 1 tornado hits (uniform fittings, stationery panic-buying, the annual argument about school shoes that “still fit, Mum”), we’ve pulled together your
Top 10 Back 2 School Buys - a survival list for mums who are mentally still at the pool bar.
Because while the boys are pretending the holidays last forever…you know what’s coming.
Lunchboxes. PE. Buses. Shvitz (sweat).
(…so much shvitz.)
Your (He doesn’t want to go) Back 2 School “Buckle Up,” List
-
School Uniform - Ironing optional. Stress mandatory.
-
School Shoes - They’ll swear last year’s fit. They do not!
-
Sport Shoes - Because someone always grows two shoe sizes over summer.
-
A Water Bottle That Won’t Disappear by Week 2 - Good luck. Stay strong.
-
School Bag / Sport Bag - The one they “definitely won’t drag on the ground this year” (lies).
-
Stationery - Ah yes… the annual Officeworks pilgrimage. May the queues be short and the highlighters be in stock.
-
Extra-Curricular Gear - Basketball shoes, tennis shoes, touch footy uniforms, robotics kits…
Teen boys: “Mum, I actually can’t feel my toes in my old ones.”
Also teen boys: “I told you this ages ago.” (They did not.)
-
Lunchbox Essentials - AKA the items that return home half-eaten and smelling like a biology experiment.
-
A Mum-Sized Dose of Term 1 Patience - You’re gonna need it!
-
NEON GOAT - Because nothing says “fresh start” like fresh pits. New year, new class, same puberty sweat — and nobody needs B.O walking into Week 1.
Stock up on the Shvitz Spritz, and The Pitz before the school bus doors clap shut.
Better yet - grab our best selling SPRITZ DUO today. Shvitz Spritz (large for home, school bag or locker) and The Pitz. Both 100ml.
So here’s your friendly reminder
Term 1 is calling.
The Shvitz is coming.
