Summer’s coming and that means camp fun! Whether it’s day camp, summer camp, sleep-overs, or just a picnic at the playground, when school is out, it’s time to pack up and have fun.

When you’re sending your kids out to play with a big group, personalized backpacks and lunch kits are not only extra special, they’re extra smart. These days with so many parents shopping at the local WalMart, it’s easy for six out of ten kids to end up with the same gear.

Help your child make sure she doesn’t take home the wrong backpack or mix up lunch kits with a little personalization help from Suzi Homemaker.

    Thank you for giving me a chance to win.
