My Back-to-School Must-Haves 2026

It’s prep time for parents, as kids are getting ready to head back to school. And there is a lot to think about to make sure everyone has what they need to start the school year off right! I stopped by stations around the country to share some of my back-to-school must-haves for moms, teens, tweens and kids.

Watch the Segment:

A must-have for busy moms

New routines, longer days, more stress- AND- the weather is still warm! Things can get a bit sweaty. And did you know we actually have THREE types of sweat- from stress, heat and activity? We moms really feel that trifecta during this time of year.

So this is MY must-have- it’s the Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant. This is clinically proven to provide 100 HOUR sweat protection against those three types of sweat.

It’s a triple-acting formula designed to handle intense sweating- giving you 3X the stress sweat protection of an ordinary antiperspirant.

Because it’s made with hyaluronic acid, Secret Clinical Antiperspirant helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier while keeping you fresh, dry and confident.

And it’s designed with an invisible solid formula, so you can stay confident during drop-off or pick-up, without worrying about white residue or sweat marks!

Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant is available in six scents for you to choose from at major retailers starting at $13.99.

A grab-and-glow skincare shortcut

Part of the new school year routine is getting ready in the morning, and parents are always on the lookout for those grab-and-go products. This one is actually a grab-and-GLOW- perfect for any teens or tweens who are looking for an easy way to take care of their skin.

It’s the Facecard Skincare Hydration Kit, which offers clinical-grade hydration that strengthens your skin barrier and delivers healthy, lasting glow without overcomplicating your routine- so, GREAT for those busy mornings.

This is the ultimate grab-and-glow set- it includes Hydrating Face Mist, Restorative Serum, Hydro Boosting Under Eye Patches, a Deep Hydrating Sheet Mask, and Lip Hydrator.

It’s travel-ready, beautifully packaged, and great for any skin type. It’s skincare without the overwhelm, so I love this for teens and tweens exploring skincare because it’s simple and streamlined and makes healthy and hydrated skin effortless.

A fun way to personalize back-to-school gear

Kids often need new backpacks and lunchboxes for the new year, but there are also fun ways to add that little extra bit of personality.

Ty Beanie Clips instantly personalize backpacks, lunch bags and pencil cases, not only adding a bit of personality but also making your child’s belongings easy to spot in a classroom, on the playground, or at after-school activities.

I LOVE that as a mom- and the kids love that they get to take their favorite characters like Spiderman, Bluey and Winnie the Pooh with them on the go all day long.

And we know back-to-school shopping can really add up, so it’s nice to be able to add something fun without breaking the budget. Ty Beanie Clips are an affordable surprise for your child to celebrate the first day of school and are just $6.99 online at Ty.com or in toy stores, gift shops, drug stores and more.
