It’s back to school time! One of the best things about mid-late August is shopping for back to school stuff! Clothing, shoes and school supplies!
Backpacks, pencil cases and notebooks – I missed those days after I finished university and starting working full-time but now get to enjoy those years now that my own kids are in school.
Hilroy has made it easier for me this year – they sent me some awesome products to review (and give away too!)
My favourite has to be the Customizable Fashion Line. Products are in black and white and come with four coloured fabric markers so you can customize the design of your back pack, zipper binder and pencil case however you desire. My boys were pretty excited to start colouring in their supplies!
As a busy mom, I need all the help I can get when it comes to organizing. Although I use Outlook on my computer to keep my appointments organized, I need to visually see the reminders in front of my face constantly. A white board just won’t do it, and neither can a regular wall calendar.
But the oversized Mom’s Ultimate Family Fridge Calendar is the best thing invented in calendars. It’s large in size and comes with magnets that you can stick on the back of it and put it on your fridge. There’s good space for writing appointments and notes and it comes with cute stickers to remind you of specific appointments like doctor visits and sports days at school.
The calendar on my phone is just not enough for me when I’m on the road. I like to flip through my book and see it all in front of me. So the Day Runner and Day Minder come in handy. I also like the Five-Star 7-pocket expanding file which I can bring with me wherever I go. Having somewhere to keep my bills, receipts and other important papers that I need to keep nearby for short-term use – not scattered all over the kitchen table – keeps me organized and on top of things.
You can never have enough binders and notebooks! I think I have a dozen notebooks scattered around the house for various purposes. The Recyclable Fashion and Shape It Up lines are just so adorable, your daughter (or you!) will love the designs and colours.

I bought a lot of Hilroy products from regular paq of 4 exercise, this year i bought 5 packs, to big quad sheet book. Without forgeting packs of ruled sheets, and quad sheet.
As a student in the gifted program, school supplies are crucial to succeed. Throughout the day we must use our own supplies to get the education we need to move on with life and become something or someone. Personally, I use many Hiloroy, Fivestar, and Mead products because they have good quality, and are reliable. Not only do these brands have good quality but their price isn’t so bad as well. I bought several packs of quad sheets for enriched math, and several notebooks. I would recommend buying the Hilroy Neatbook, because It can keep sheets in a book, and tear apart as well. Hilroy has helped many people such as myself to get through the schoolyear! Thank-you Hilroy and Company for creating such great products!
I use the Hilroy scribblers to write out grocery lists. My son used them all through elementary school. He is now in high school and uses alot of the hilroy ruled sheets. He likes the Fivestar as it is very durable. Hilroy is a great and trusted name.
I remember using tons of hilroy products when I was in school and now I still buy them for my boys and for our household.
i dont remember using hilroy in school, but my kids do , they love the binders the most

i go through a notebook a week. You can never have enough spare journals around. Also, I love a paper planner. I forget to type appointment s in my calendar.
I remember using the Hilroy lined paper and scribblers, my kids use them now, I love the undersized calendar for the fridge, that would be ideal here! I use the notebooks or paper to make shopping and to do lists as well.
The old fashioned notebooks used to oractice writing. So cool.
Was it hillroy that made the yellow campfire notebooks. Those were awesome! God; am I showing my age? I can’t find them on the internets anywhere!
I remember always using the 4 pk of Hilroy exercises in school,,I would always color in the map on the cover..lol..I still buy them for my son as well.

I LOVED buying school supplies every year – it was the highlight for August for me every year. And Hilroy was always part of the purchases – it was just a given!!
Paper, paper and MORE paper! Hilroy has the best paper and spiral notebooks. Thos are what I buy the most of. 🙂
I FORGOT!! I live for the Mom’s Calendar. My life would not work without it! LOL
I love Hiltoy notebooks, I’ve always got at least two on the go at any given time!
My kids love the funky colours that Hilroy offers. Going back to school is so much more fun when you’ve got “cool” looking digs!

I loved Hilroy when i went to school. They had the coolest stuff.
New school supplies are awesome. As a busy mom working 2 jobs, raising 2 kids and a wife to a talented Chef there’s not much time left for trying to be organized. Hillroy definitely makes this possible. What a FANTASTIC prize this is.
Anything to help keep my family and sanity deserves big kudos to you!
Cheers and best of luck!

I love back to school shopping. I think it is more fun as a parent than it was as a kid. My wee one who is 6 LOVES the fantastic cool patterns of the notebooks. I do too!
I remmeber the 4 pack of Exercise books in the lower grades; each one a different color. I’ve used and still do use many Hilroy products.
I love the zipper binder in the Fashionable line where you can color
the picture with the pencils that come with it.

I loved going school supply shopping every year when I was a kid. We always bought Hilroy products including loose leaf, binders, etc. And now I am buying the same kinds of things for my son.
I buy the hilroy notebooks and the 4 pack notebooks and give them to my neice and my grandchilren. I use some at home myself.
Notebooks, notebooks and more notebooks! My kids write in them, draw in them and I even use them for notes and lists!
I could not live with out my mom’s calendar. I remember using the binders with the zipper. Such a life saver when you dropped it not to have things flying everywhere:)
I’ve been a big fan of Hilroy notebooks since elementary school age & I still use them in business today. They are my favourite brand of notebooks.
Hilroy is the best! I buy them every year and it never dissapoints; it’s great that they keep practicality in mind.
my son uses hilroy notebooks and scribblers for school. I also just bought him the shape it up pencil pouch yesterday for back to school

Oh I love back to school supplies…fresh crisp note books…. and pencils. I have always loved a dayrunner – I am like you the calendar on the phone or computer just isn’t enough. I need to be able to look through a book calendar
I remember using Hilroy in school a lot! I’m pretty sure they were top on the list of purchases. I can’t remember if I bought anything Hilroy this year. But I do love the company, they make great products!
I didn’t grow up in Canada so I didn’t really get a chance to experience Hilroy but my gosh did I jump in with both feet once I went to college. I’ve always loved their products and I adore those spiral notebooks that you have posted above. I always buy spiral notebooks and use them.
I love the Hilroy exercise note books and used one just a while ago to organize a surprise party.
My daughter had Hilroy binders and folders. I just love back to school and fun new supplies!
I remember using Hilroy products growing up. I still buy there pencils all the time. Now that my son is in school I purchase him pencils, exercise books and paper every Aug/Sept in preparation for school.
Would love to win this for our little ones – a great way to keep them organized @ home & school & for fun arts ‘n’ crafts projects too – keep them creative….
I always loved ~~~Still Do~~~ The poly-expandable pocket files – they last forever – & are always used in our home…
i love the mom calendar! very useful!
I used to love the Hilroy exercise and notebook packs in different colors,one for each subject. Hilroy still outlasts any other brand! My favourite Hilroy product I would LOVE to have for my 7 year old son is the Fashionable line zipper binders! My son loves to color and doodle and what better way to personalize your school supplies! We would be so thankful if we won this amazing prizepack!! Thnx Rosa
We’re all about the designer notebooks, as long as each kid has a different pattern.
As a student I always used the Hilroy lined notepaper and 5 subject notebooks. I love all the colourful designs available now.
Kids love the Hilroy notebooks as they are great for school notes and also for journaling.
I remember using hilroy pencils in school, the old kinds that you had to manually sharpen.
I love the feel of new hilroy notebooks. Even as an adult I still buy them all the time and use them for note keeping around the house.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE new school supplies!!! We bought my eldest the Hilory notebooks for promary grades this year, but I know she would LOVE the customabilizer ones!
my LO uses the lined notebooks (the paperbacked halfrules pages … the same ones I remember using when I was a kid 🙂
I totally remember Hilroy pads of paper & binders. such funky
colours & styles !!!
The exercise books were my fave…nothing like cracking the spine of a new one and writing on the first page…I buy them for my kids every year…
Cheers
The Mom’s Ultimate Family Fridge Calendar is the best!With my son in rep hockey, he’s usually travelling 5 times a week. My daughter’s also involved in dance. I don’t know how I’d get by without it! Big squares to write multiple functions/day and really handy with the magnets to mount it on the fridge.
I remember five star notebooks 🙂
I grew up surrounded by Hilroy products since that is where my Dad worked, in the school contracts division. I even had my school go through the plant on a field trip! I am loyal to Hilroy products to this day and now with children in high school we go through a lot of them!
