FUJIFILM Printlife StoryWall: Wall designs with unlimited freedom for creative DIY fans. Be it a word, a collage or a split picture, you can compose your own personal look. With StoryWall by Fujifilm ($10), you can showcase your own photos with a fantastic impact and with a new look each time. Perfect to create dorm room collage walls!

FUJIFILM X-S20 mirrorless digital camera: The X-S20 ($1,749.99 at Henry’s, Best Buy and other photography retailers) is perfect for snapping move-in day photos or for gifting to creative students.

Tineco FLOOR ONE S3 ULTRA: The FLOOR ONE S3 ULTRA ($550 exclusively available in stores and online at Canadian Tire) is the all-in-one cleaning product university/college students need heading back to school and/or moving out on their own for the first time. This floor washer mops and vacuums at the same time to cut your cleaning time in half. It is designed to help you spend less time cleaning, so you can spend more time enjoying your home (or studying!).

StayAbove Nutrition Fitness Bundle: Available online at stayabovenutrition.ca, this includes 2x Muscle 5 protein powder (2 flavours of choice) and 1x Trim7 ($160). Back to school is the perfect opportunity to create a new morning routine that fuels your day and gets you on track with your fitness goals.

Make it the perfect matching cozy set with the Organic Terry Side Seam Sweatpants – Cloudburst Light.

Nest Designs Unisex Basics Bamboo Spandex Short T-shirt – Black: You never knew softness like this until you got this short sleeve t-shirt ($42). It’s made from bamboo, an eco-friendly, super soft, and breathable material. We added spandex so you move around in comfort all day. Designed so you can wear it at home, while you run errands, for a workout, or so you can show up looking effortless to class. You’ll love how effortlessly relaxing this looks and feels. It features a classic crewneck, elongated sleeves, and falls at the hips. This tee comes in grey dusk, a neutral shade that can be worn with virtually anything in your wardrobe. If you’re looking to start a capsule wardrobe, this short sleeve t-shirt is a must! Pairs perfectly with Men’s Basics Bamboo Cotton Lounge Pants – Black.
