Roots Kids 2-Piece Matching Backpack and Lunch Bag Set – $57.39 (Reg. $69.99)
This is the 22.5L backpack plus a 7L insulated lunch bag, and reviewers say the lunch bag keeps food cold for ages. It comes in lots of colours, with reflective accents and a 2-year warranty.
4.5 stars, and one parent says the lunch bag's own strap is handy when the backpack is already full.
Roots Kids 2-Piece Matching Set (Primary Colours) – $57.39 (Reg. $69.99)
Same 22.5L set in bright, gender-neutral primary colours. Reviewers say it's perfect for younger kids, maybe up to grade 3, and the lunch bag fits a water bottle, food container and snacks.
5.0 stars from 5 reviews.
Roots 2-in-1 Matching Kids Set, Multi Ombre – $53.29 (Reg. $64.99)
The Multi Ombre colourway on this 2-piece bundle is so fun. The wipe-clean material is weatherproof, with rain flaps guarding the zippers from wet west-coast walks to school.
4.9 stars from 15 reviews.
Roots Essential 3-in-1 Backpack Bundle, Ombre Blue Green – $38.45 (Reg. $45.24)
This one's the best value of the bunch: backpack, insulated lunch bag AND a pencil case that holds up to 200 pens. Fair warning from reviewers, it runs a bit small and may not fit snow pants and a winter coat.
4.4 stars from 329 reviews.
Roots 2-in-1 Matching Kids Set, Ditsy Floral Pink – $53.29 (Reg. $64.99)
The Ditsy Floral Pink set is adorable for kids who want something a little prettier. Reviewers say the material feels sturdy enough to last well beyond a single school year.
4.9 stars from 15 reviews.
If I were grabbing one, I'd go for the 3-in-1 at $38.45 since the pencil case basically makes it three gifts in one. Prices this good on Roots don't stick around, so don't sit on it too long.
