Merchandise Monday: Back to School!

Depending on whether you’re the parent or the child, this is either the best or worst time of the year for you. Late August means back-to-school time, and parents can breathe a sigh of relief that they no longer have to wrack their brains for new ways to entertain their children during break. Kids, on the other hand, are most likely not looking forward to early mornings, evenings full of homework and the death of what was most likely the “best summer ever!!”

Treat your kids to something fun from Hinda’s new assortment of cute back-to-school items. They’ll thank you for gifting them with something cool they can show off to their friends, and you can rest assured they won’t do too much whining and complaining on that rough first morning back.
