Look, I've tried them all: BrüMate is simply the best there is. If you've got littles and are looking towards back to school, their smaller Leap bottle with all the same features is our family's go-to for backpacks!

Promising review: "I am a BrüMate brand lover. The Era cup is the best to me. I love the flexible, soft straw, that it's actually leakproof when locked, is cute, and fits nicely in my hand. Just love that I can finally get it at a store near me." —Any

"I was looking for something to fulfill the need of carrying around my wallet, keys, phone, wipes, and a few snacks since my children are older now, and I don't want to carry around a giant diaper bag.

As previously mentioned, if you are looking for something to hold a water bottle, the side pocket will NOT do that, but it works perfectly for hand sanitizer and sunglasses." —Jordan

Promising reviews: "Speaker paired right up to my Samsung phone after downloading the app. No prob. Easy to operate. The sound is amazing!" —NHBOB

"I have tried several small speakers, but they were returned because the sound was anemic & ‘tinny.’ Even though this Bose speaker is not billed as being able to connect to smart TVs, I was able to connect it to my LG TV (whose onboard speaker is disappointingly ‘tinny’) for improved sound." —MK9999

Price: $149.99 (available in five colors)

Target

Promising reviews: "I love how fresh this smells, like clean linen mixed with sandalwood. My favorite spray scent so far. Cute flower shape." —Stefany
