For many families, the back to school transition has already started, but for many others like mine, it doesn't begin for another month (Rose starts her Senior year the week before Labor Day).

Making a Difference this Back to School Year with the Giving BackPacks Campaign and Classroom Direct! #GivingBackPacks

“The featured products were provided free of charge from Classroom Direct and Real Advice Gal to facilitate this post and subsequent donations to our local community, but all opinions are 100% the opinion of the Coupon Savvy Sarah family. This post may contain affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.”

My family and I are firm believers in helping others out. We regularly donate items to our local shelters and organizations that help those in our community. Our 13 year old daughter Rose has been donating all the toys from her birthday parties to our local Toys for Tots organization for the past 7 years because she didn't want other children to go without gifts for the holidays (so proud of her).

This is our third year participating in the Giving BackPacks Campaign and we have received backpacks with supplies and even filled many backpacks on our own to the brim with snacks, school supplies and other items kids need when heading back to school. With the help of different community leaders I work with, I have been able to find families to donate the backpacks to - you can read all about our first experience here!

We are very proud to be a part of the campaign again this year to help out more families that might be struggling and need a helping hand. This year we are very excited to be working with Classroom Direct as a sponsor of this campaign.

Classroom Direct provides best-selling PreK-8 classroom supplies at budget-friendly prices. Check out all of our Deals like Clearance and Price Drops. Shop over 24,000 classroom supplies including Teachers' Favorite Arts & Crafts to Office Supplies, Furniture, Early Childhood, AV Technology and Equipment, Math, Science, Social Studies, Special Needs, Physical Education and so much more! They even have convenient Classroom Packs where you can stock up on essential supplies for our entire classroom! Also enjoy FREE SHIPPING on supply orders of $49 or more, every day!

Classroom Direct also offers:

• Ideas & Resources – Lesson plans, classroom decoration ideas, communication forms, inspirational downloads and more!
• Classroom Connection Blog – Tips & tricks, ideas & resources, classroom management, and much more.
• Digital Catalogs – All current catalogs are available in digital format – so you can browse them anytime, from anywhere!

We received a backpack filled to the brim with supplies specifically targeted for a student in grades 7-8. It contained many school supply items that are necessary for each child to have for their different classes throughout the day such as folders, binders, filler paper, composition notebooks, a sketch pad and even a flash drive and Texas Instruments calculator. The backpack also was filled with pencils, different colored pens, highlighters, permanent markers, index cards, a ruler, glue sticks, scissors and many other necessities. 

I reached out to our local organization called "Old Newboys" in Flint, Michigan. Their motto is "Let No Child Be Forgotten." I have worked with this group before to find families in need to donate to throughout the years and this year they found me a middle school young lady to donate this pack to! School for most of us in Michigan starts after Labor Day so this came at the perfect time for their family when they needed the help most! I highly suggest if you are able to this year still or even think ahead to next year when you come across clearance backpacks in the coming weeks, to purchase a couple to fill up and donate to your local school or reach out to a non-profit in your area to find a family in need.

“The featured product was provided free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% the opinion of the Coupon Savvy Sarah family. This post may contain affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.”

With back to school season here, finding fashionable and functional organizers for school that are affordable are at the top of our list. Caboodles, the leader in cosmetic organization since 1987, has you covered with stylish storage this fall with their different organizations products that can help making the transition back to school a little easier.

Now I know what you are thinking....Caboodles is for makeup and tools, not back to school! Let me tell you....I have had my hard pink Caboodles organizer case since I was my daughter's age - I will do the math for you (28 years!) and it has housed my makeup, my craft supplies and other countless items over the years. Caboodles has such a wide range of organizational products that it will help your daughter's get organized for that morning rush, to pack some of the some cases with discreet feminine items for backpacks, gym class, extracurricular activities such as sports and even travel or slumber parties.

Caboodles sent Rose the Le Sophistique 10-Piece Bag to check out and she was smitten from the moment she opened the box it came in! The colors are girly enough but also sophisticated as well. I could even see myself swiping, I mean borrowing, some of these pieces when I travel!

• Large clear tote great for notebooks and folders
• Large soft-sided train case to store supplies or a snack

Give a Unique Gift for Back to School and College this Year with JORD Wood Watches! #JORD #ad

“The featured product was provided free of charge by JORD Wood Watches to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% the opinion of the Coupon Savvy Sarah family. This post may contain affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.”

My husband loves watches and is very particular about the ones he accessories with.....not just any old watch will do. I love JORD wooden watches (pronounced “Yowrd” - Swedish for earth, soil, land). JORD wooden watches are made from sustainably-sourced natural wood and feature bamboo, maple, sandalwood, blackwood, cherry, zebrawood and koa. Almost the entire watch is made of wood and has a stainless steel buckle or clasp that is very easy to open and close. Given the nature of the wood chosen for each unique timepiece, colors and grain pattern may vary from photos you see which means each wood watch is truly unique in it's own right.

JORD wood watches come in a variety of unique styles for both men and women that is sure to please everyone. Some of the wood watches contain batteries while others are automatic that need to be wound. Each JORD watch is designed to be splash proof but is not intended for complete submergence in water. JORD wood watches are easy to care for with little upkeep required which I appreciate. The watch bands are adjustable (we took ours to a jeweler to have it sized for my husband); however, JORD now offers a service where your watch will arrive already adjusted and sized for an additional fee.

A Sampling of JORD's Unique Men's and Women's Wood Watches

With the back to school and college season in full swing, why not indulge your student or graduate (or even yourself) with a cool gift this year and give them a men or women's JORD wood watch to showcase their unique style.

My husband is a middle and high school principal and always dresses the part in a suit, tie and dress shirt. The JORD Dover Series watch is the perfect accessory to finish off his look. It is a magnificent time piece with it's skeleton watch face and beautiful natural Rosewood and Ebony wood for the wrist band.

JORD wooden watches arrive in a wood box and carefully clasped around a little pillow to ensure they are packaged safely. The warranty and care instructions also arrived in the little wood box. 

My husband was speechless though when his JORD Dover Series watch in Ebony and Rosewood arrived. The bold color contrast of the two woods and the open skeleton watch face is a striking combination. After having the watch sized at our local jeweler, it fit perfectly. It is very lightweight which we didn't expect with it being wood. It is truly a versatile accessory for to wear with work clothes, dressing up for a night on the town or casually on the weekends with jeans and a shirt.

JORD wood watches would make a unique and cool gift for the special man or woman in your life! They also make great gifts for graduation, anniversaries, birthdays, holiday and just because (that is my favorite occasion).

Wood Wrist Watch
