School's in, and if it isn't yet, zero hour is fast approaching for the olympics
of stocking
up on back-to-school necessities. Everything from lunch boxes and pencil cases,
binders and
art supplies can be found at Bruce Variety -
http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W7RT0451746BF84658B4F3FAA0C770
, one of our favorite stops for this late-summer ritual. In addition to every variety
of school
supply a child could want, Bruce's offers a trip down memory lane for the older
generation
who remember hair nets, white bathing caps and the like. Speaking of the older
generation,
our childhood lunchboxes are currently on display in an exhibition -
http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W7RT0451747BE84658B4F3FAA0C770
at the Museum of American History, and one of the Smithsonian's best shops sells some
fun
examples. Check out the Sumo Wrestler lunchbox ($13.95) from the Sackler Gallery
museum shop
- http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W7RT0451743B984658B4F3FAA0C770
. It's just right for kids who want to be cool in school -- and their parents who can
display
it as a kitschy home accent. The solution to cutting down on clutter when a child gets
his/her
first computer: a computer/media station like the industrial-looking, sturdy Low
Locker Console
($401 for the frame) from Pottery Barn for Teens -
http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W7RT0451744B884658B4F3FAA0C770
. The top of this rolling media center can hold a printer, scanner and camera, for
example.
The shelves and drawers (in colors including hot pink, navy, olive and apple green,
$49 each)
below store paper, ink cartridges and other supplies. When they graduate to laptops,
treat
them to Target - http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W7RT0451740BB84658B4F3FAA0C770

pages) from
Rock Scissor Paper - http://letters.washingtonpost.com/W7RT0451749A584658B4F3FAA0C770
