Classes start Monday (where did the summer go?) – let the back-to-school shopping bonanza begin. We’ve got the dish on some of the coolest supplies in town.

Schlep your stuff in style with a polka-dotted Jansport backpack
(we're partial to the plum, blue and white variety). The bookbags have a huge main pocket for textbooks, a front organizer for pens and pencils and padded shoulder straps for support (those books can get heavy).
Find It: Office Depot, 1771 West Ave, Miami Beach; 305-531-1050.

Get your tots tech-savvy with the kid-friendly Blueberry Organizer/Phone. Great for storing important dates (exams, homework, etc), email addresses, phone numbers and other info. Extra bonus: it works as a landline when plugged into a phone jack.
Find It: kidzworld.com.

Sing the back-to-school blues with the Fivestar SoundBinder. Powered by an iPod battery, the sleek binder plays MP3 tunes from two small speakers while toting homework, pencils and the like.
Find It: Office Max, 1906 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables; 305-446-7957.

Tag important information with Post-It Flag Highlighters. Highlight notes with the pen, then find them easily with a colored flag. Pick your signature color between neon yellow, blue and pink.
Find It: Staples, 2120 SW 32nd Ave, Coral Gables; 305-448-0556.

Keep pens, highlighters and pencils neat and tidy with Scholastic’s Stand ‘N Store pencil pouch. The organizers lives on desks and eliminates the need to root through your backpack.
Find It: Office Depot, 7240 SW 88th St, Miami; 305-670-1982.
