BACK 2 SCHOOL 2023

Here are 5 Must-Have BACK TO SCHOOL Gadget Gift Ideas for 2023

It’s almost hard to believe — but in a few short weeks SUMMER WILL END– and SCHOOL WILL BEGIN

This year I focused on new BACK TO SCHOOL GADGETS for older kids– Junior High Through College

BUT FIRST (before we talk about Back 2 School Gadgets)–

If you LOVE GADGETS — AND YOU LOVE A GOOD GAME SHOW— then check out my YouTube Gadget Game Show called “WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?” (it’s also streaming on DBTV)

It’s sort of “Shark Tank” meets “What’s My Line?” / “I’ve Got A Secret”

During each episode panelists try to guess the identity of a mystery gadget

Here’s the LINK to the show, check it out:

VentaPak is a backpack accessory that attaches to a favorite backpack to make it much more ventilated and ergonomic.  VentaPak gets your pack off your back with an attachable, lightweight frame and mesh that create a true separation between your back and your backpack for major airflow and cooling.  So now there’s a solution for “sweaty back.”   VentaPak also ergonomically tugs your shoulders back and directs backpack weight more horizontally into the middle and lower back, instead of straight down on the shoulders.  This improves posture and makes the backpack feel lighter while also reducing back stress, strain and pain. VentaPak comes in two sizes – Standard (16L x 12W x 1-2 inches depth, adjustable) and Small (~14.5 x 11 x 1-2 inches). VentaPak costs $42.50 for the Small size and $44.50 for the Standard size and you can learn more by going to www.VentaPak.com or Amazon at ­­­https://www.amazon.com/VentaPak-Small-Ventilation-Backpack-Spacer/dp/B0B5Z9F79S.  (It should also be noted that part of the proceeds go to planting trees via Onetreeplanted.org and also getting bikes and a proven mentoring program to at-risk kids via BikesforKids.)

Props Luggage — Props Luggage is the perfect addition to your students “must haves”.  This carry-on has the added magic of built in legs.  Unfold the legs and Props Luggage can become a desk or table anywhere.  This is the perfect case for your students weekend jaunts home or visiting their friends for the weekend.  Props can become its own luggage rack.  Open the built-in leg system and your case is off the maybe not so clean dorm room floor.  For those college athletes this would be an amazing addition.  On the road for games, sitting at the airports and trying to get that paper finished.  Prop up your case at the gate and you have your own workstation to place your laptop rather than balancing on your lap.  Sharing a room with 3 other fellow athletes, no place to put your suitcase?  Problem solved.  Do you have a student traveling abroad?  Props Luggage is the perfect case for all of the weekend trips.  The expansion zipper allows for plenty of space to pack.  Props fits above in most airlines overhead compartments and perfect for hotels or hostels.  And finally, for the parents, with the kids back at school, now it’s time to plan your getaway, so get yourself a Props and head out.  Check it out at www.propsluggage.com $350.00 with free shipping
