Back to school means back to home lunches, fall sports and clubs. Keeping up on schedules is tough enough, let alone keeping track of the kids gear. They tote around backpacks, lunch boxes, sports gear, PE clothes, notebooks and instruments all day and they are bound to be heavily used and even misplaced. VistaPrint has more than just business needs, they can offer labels for boxes, gear and even coach gifts and apparel to boost school spirit.

My son starts grade 10 and fall golf. I found these personalized golf buddy tees and markers set at VistaPrint and ordered a box so the kids on the golf team can have their school logo on a set. It’s a small way to boost spirit and identify our athletes bag by school in the mix of gear in a tournament.

While at VistaPrint, I added my work logo to some sticky notes because I use these all day long. It is fun to add touches of school spirit in everyday items like these.

Whether you need labels with names or logos on promotional items and stationary, it is so easy to upload images and text and VistaPrint gives you a clear preview to approve before finalizing your order. You can add college logos, sports teams and choose favorite colors to label items and create gifts. Getting organized this fall will make the back to school season more bearable. Head over to VistaPrint and upload what you want on your office and school needs. You can have a lot of fun creating personalized items.

As summer ends, we don’t have to put the fire pits away! In fact, the weather will get cooler and we will want the warmth of a fire. Colsen has indoor and outdoor fire pits that are large and even table top sizes so you can have a warm, clean-burning fire nearby at all times. You just need the right fire pit for your space and 70%+ isopropyl alcohol.

I have the Indoor/Outdoor Tabletop Fire Pit. I can use my fire pit inside or outside. These fire pits are easy to use and safe as long as you keep it on a flat surface and light and extinguish correctly. My tabletop fire pit came with its own round extinguisher (you do not blow out these fires, so no mess).

I have used my table top fire pit in a few ways. I can just light at a side table and relax indoors. I can add it as outdoor table ambiance while my large fire pit is also burning nearby. I will use it inside during BBQ’s so the large fire pit can burn outside and the ambiance flows inside. This is great for small apartments or even larger spaces for added fire flair! Even on a stormy day outside, your fire can come inside, safely. Visit Colsen Fire Pit to find the fire pit that is right for you.
