Back to Basics: Back to School Shopping Must Haves

Thanks to Hanes for sponsoring this Back to Basics: Back to School Shopping Must Haves post and Giveaway. 

When do your kids go back to school? I can’t believe how many posts I have seen on Facebook of kids first day of school already. My kids don’t go back until late August so we still have several weeks to do our back to school shopping. Thanks to Hanes for reminding us about some of the back to school shopping must haves we all should have on our list. We are talking back to basics like new underwear and socks. 

Back to Basics: Back to School Shopping

Kids are constantly growing and if there is one thing I forget to replace it is underwear and socks. If the kids don’t complain that their underwear is creeping up or their socks holes in them, I just ignore it. Let’s face it, it’s obvious when the kids come out of their room in floods or too tight of shirts but I don’t ever check their undergarments. (They are ages 11 to 15 so that is realistic)

These Back to School Must haves from Hanes include fabric technologies to keep kids cool and fresh all day!

Back to Basics: Back to School Shopping

Hanes has some amazing products out there that will keep your kids cool and comfortable all school year. Not to mention hip looking as well. Boys will be styling in Hanes X-Temp Raglan Henley Short Sleeve T-shirts in mutliple colors.

Smelly socks no more with the advance odor protection technology of the Hanes ComfortBlend Boys Ankle Socks. 

My teenage daughter loves her socks. Check out the awesome colors of the Hanes Cool Comfort Sport Women’s No show Socks. I might have to steal these from her.

Back to Basics- Back to School Shopping 2

So when you are making your lists of school supplies this summer, don’t forget to add the basics from Hanes. While you are at it, make the kids clean out those underwear and sock drawers. I am certain there are several missing socks and underwear from several years ago still lurking back behind the ones they wear weekly.
