@elizabeth.m.piper: After 2 years, I let my daughter retire her LL Bean backpack to get one *she* wanted. Took her and her sister to @Walmart and let them pick out any one they wanted. Of course they chose “twin backpacks,” which is going to be a headache all year. But the joy they experienced is worth it. #backtoschool #walmartfinds #sahm #girlmom #sisters
ugh my child wants the vera Bradley backpack 😫 but she's 15 lol

My little guy starts preschool this fall and got him the LL Bean backpack with dinosaurs on it. He loves it and I’m hoping it will last a few school years.

This healed my inner child. I had the same ll bean backpack from kindergarten to 8th grade. I was always SO jealous of kids that got a new backpack each year to the point I tried cutting holes in my ll bean (with no such luck) so my mom would buy me a new bag😭

I love this! When I was pregnant I SWORE he wouldn't wear anything "tacky" with characters. Guess who has light up lightning McQueen tennis shoes? The JOY on his face carrying them out of the store is one of my favorite memories now.

I’m letting my daughter pick the obnoxious/cheap character backpacks until she’s around 10 depending on maturity. Around that time she’s getting a nice jansport solid color one that’ll last her for years and we’re decorating with pins so it’s still personalized but a little more big girl and durable.

Why is everyone calling these ugly? They’re cute and made for KIDS. God forbid children enjoy colors, patterns, and something other than beige or grey 🙄

Ordered tinkerbell backpack for our oldest who is going to be a senior. It will probably be her prized possession for the school year.

People are really missing the point here. The point is that so many moms are concerned with everything being aesthetically pleasing, they’re not letting their kids be kids. Too many people gettin hung up of her using the word hideous.
