Back To School Shopping and Master Lock Sweepstakes and Twitter Party #MasterBacktoSchool

It is Back to School time all over the USA! We've had a rather crazy summer and looking forward to a little bit of a routine, again. Statistics show that for nearly one third of North Americans, a return to routine is their favorite part of the back-to-school season. Consumers’ second favorite back-to-school activity is shopping (20 percent). Are you in these statistics? Do you long for the routine of the school year? Do you love back to school shopping? This is a sponsored post through Global Influence and my own opinions are shared here. 

All three of my teens will be stocking up on essentials like paper, pens, pencils, and folders for their high school and college classes. Of course clothes and shoes will be in the carts, too. None of them need any electronics this year because they have what they need. They all know how important it is to keep their electronics and valuables safe no matter where they are. All of them carry their belongings with them all day long. I do remind them that statistics show that nearly half of North American parents admitted that their child has had an item stolen from them at school, with the most valuable being their cell phone. Is this a concern for your kids? Have they ever had a valuable stolen? 

One way we keep their valuables safe is to use products in the Master Lock line.  A few of our favorites include the 1500eDBX dialSpeed, 5900D SafeSpace and the 1535DWD Set-Your-Own Combination Lock. All three of these are great in protecting valuables. The SafeSpace is perfect for phones, keys, and money. It fits in backpacks. The other two smaller locks are perfect for lockers. At least two of the girls will have the opportunity to use lockers in the gym to keep their valuables safe. When was the last time you checked out the Master Lock product line?
