Get Back to Campus with a Schick Gift Basket

I told you about my shopping trip to Walmart the other day with my sister to get her ready to go back to campus.  I very rarely ever miss being in school – because, homework – and I can’t even imagine trying to do it with little kids at home.  Those of you who do school with little ones to care for too are superheroes. Watching my siblings start back to classes this past week almost made me wish I was going back too – Almost. It did make me want to give my siblings a little something to say good luck, so I made them each a Schick Gift Basket!

DISPOSABLE RAZORS ARE PERFECT FOR A BACK TO CAMPUS SCHICK GIFT BASKET

These aren’t anything real fancy or extravagant.  Just a little “hey, I’m thinking about you. Good Luck!” I made two Schick Gift baskets, one for my sister and one for my brother.

I got my sister a new nail polish, some lotion, a package of Schick® Quattro For Women® disposable razors, and some body spray and attached a little note wishing her the best semester.  She spends her days in classes and her nights studying or with friends.  Heading to class or out with the girls, she’ll look her best.  Every girl needs soft legs and pretty toes sometimes, even if it’s only for a rare Friday night at home or the frequent study group at the library. Feeling great is the first step to awesome confidence, which every woman needs. Putting together this Schick Gift Basket was a snap!

My brother’s Schick Gift Basket was a little more difficult.  He’s majoring in chemical engineering, in his senior year, has two kids and a wife to help care for and support, works part-time on top of going to school and has bills to pay (like the hospital bill from the birth of his son back in May…).

He’s got a little more pressure on his shoulders and I wanted to get him something so he can relax and enjoy his last year of school a little.  His Schick Gift Basket contained a new tie, a package of Schick® Xtreme3® disposable razors, some cologne, and I made him a coupon for free baby-sitting. Hopefully, he and his wifey will cash in and enjoy a night out together. Or a night in and use the money they would’ve gone out with to buy diapers or pay the rent… you know, those pesky things. Or maybe he’ll just go and do something alone. That guy is never alone and I’m sure he could use a little down time. Every man needs a good razor and a night out!

SCHICK GIFT BASKETS ARE THE PERFECT AFFORDABLE, USABLE GIFT FOR YOUR FAVORITE CO-EDS

I didn’t spend a lot on these little gifts.  I’m not buying books or anything; but, I’m not made of money. College is a great time in life, but going back to campus can be stressful too. Especially, in 6 weeks when mid-terms roll around.  Hopefully, my brother and sister can have a little fun. It’s a rough semester when you’re up to your eyebrows in books and work the whole time.

College should be fun and I hope I was able to help my brother and sister enjoy their current semester a little. Both of them are almost done with school. Someday, they might be the ones getting all nostalgic in the Back to School section of Walmart, almost wishing they could go back to school too. Almost.

Back To Campus with Schick Disposable Razors

Are you tired of all things ‘back to school’?  Are you settled into your routine and the excitement of back to school is wearing down quickly?  Or are you just starting back?  While my little family is settling into the routine of being back in school and it’s almost old news, my siblings that live locally just started their college classes again last week.  One of my favorite things about college: the schedule.  Start back the end of August and out a few weeks before Christmas for a whole month and then done again by the middle of May.  It’s perfection.  Get in, get your work done and then get out.  College is, by no means, an easy thing to complete; but, I prefer the heavier work load with more break time to the schedule that Big J and our county public school system has.

Helping my sister get ready for her last year of college was so much.  We got some great sister bonding time and it was fun to reflect on my college experience.  We headed to Walmart with her list of college life must-haves.  We hit the back to school section and chaos ensued in our search for notebooks, paper, a ruler – she’s a design major and can’t seem to get enough rulers, pencils, erasers and colored pencils.  But our shopping didn’t end once we were finished in the back to school section of the store.  We headed over to health and beauty for some of the most important college supplies.

We picked up the basics: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, extra hair ties and bobby pins, a spray bottle, her preferred hair care products, a new toothbrush and toothpaste, and deodorant.  Then we made sure to get enough Schick Disposable products to keep hairy situations under control.  I even picked up some of the NEW Schick® Xtreme3® Disposable razors for Mr Napping.  They are his favorite kind of disposable razors and I like my man clean-shaven.  They had the Schick Hydro 5 disposable razors too, which I’ve actually used and they are pretty nice.  It was pretty apparent other people liked them too, by the empty shelves.

I also grabbed some more disposable razors for myself – women’s this time – because shaving never ends and the worst thing ever is to try and shave with a dull disposable razor.  I love the Schick® Quattro For Women® because the quadruple blades get all the way to the base of my hair without having to repeatedly shave over my legs.  I’ll admit, I’m not the most consistent shaver once the shorts and capris get put in the closet and swimsuit season is over.  When those pants come back out, the length between shaves and my leg hair grows longer and longer as it gets colder and colder.  The Schick® Quattro For Women® helps keep the time I do shave to a minimum so I can do much more important things than shave my legs!

 

How would you like $10,000 to put toward tuition?! Right now, you can snap a summer selfie and enter to win 1 of 4 grand prizes, plus lots of other fun prizes too! See contest details for full rules and regulations.

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
