Lego back-to-school range includes genius £15 storage solution using iconic brick
The Danish company may be best known for its plastic building block sets for children and adults, but it also boasts a wide array of practical products perfect for kitting out kids for their return to school. The brand has brought some of its iconic LEGO brick designs to life in various forms, ensuring there's something for everyone.
LEGO isn't the only retailer already launching its back-to-school range early this year, with Marks and Spencer kicking off the countdown with its Back to School range in stores across the country. M&S also has a variety of online-exclusives, including a pack of two Boys' Non-Iron School Shirts priced at £9 to £15.
Argos is another retailer offering a vast selection of uniform items and school accessories at wallet-friendly prices. Bargain hunters can pick up a 2 Pack Unisex Polo Shirts for as little as £3.
Over at Amazon there are also deals to be found on stationary sets, text books, school shoes and more. Betters till, getting ahead of the August rush help's to ensure their favourite items aren't out of stock.
Returning to LEGO, we've compiled a list of our favourite products ideal for kids heading back to school, as initially reported by the Manchester Evening News. There are also some items that adults might find handy for the office, days out or home use.
LEGO 4-Stud Desk Drawer - £14.99
Studying can be a challenge when the desk becomes overrun with clutter. Desk organisers can provide the perfect solution, and this particular model comes in a selection of colours and has been designed to resemble the iconic 4x4 LEGO brick.
Featuring a pull-out drawer, it's ideal for hiding away things like pens, pencils and bits of paper when not in use, yet easily accessible for when they're needed. Just like normal-sized LEGO blocks, these drawers can be stacked on top of one another for the perfect space-saving organisation system that's perfect for any kid who's into LEGO.
You can purchase the 4-Stud Desk Drawer here for £14.99.
Hydration Bottle - £15.99
Maintaining hydration whilst studying is vital for children's concentration. One method to ensure they consume enough water is by providing them with a trendy water bottle that they'll be keen to use.
This sleek design from LEGO is subtly stylish, mirroring the shape of most traditional bottles, but upon closer inspection, LEGO fans will recognise that the lid is actually shaped like a blue LEGO stud. This stud-shaped cap can be unscrewed to reveal a drinking hole, and there's also a convenient clip attached to the lid to prevent it from being misplaced during the hustle and bustle of a school day.
The LEGO Hydration Bottle can be found here for £15.99.
LEGO Brick Lunch Bag - £22.99
Every youngster needs a super-cool lunch box for their school meals. This particular one has been designed to mimic the iconic LEGO stud and keeps food fresh with its sturdy square casing lined with insulation.
A sturdy carry handle makes the lunchbox is easy to transport and it comes in seven different colours, allowing kids to pick their favourite shade. There's also a hidden zipped compartment in the central stud, perfect for stashing a snack or two for break time.

M&S' food sales growth slows again after cyberattack, says NielsenIQ
LONDON, July 23 (Reuters) - British retailer Marks & Spencer's (MKS.L), opens new tab food business saw sales growth slow further to 4.3% year-on-year over the 12 weeks to July 12, reflecting the disruption that followed a cyberattack in April, industry data showed on Wednesday. Researcher NielsenIQ said M&S' grocery sales growth slowed from 9.1% in last month's report and 10.8% in the one before that. Its market share did, however, hold steady at 3.6%. As part of its management of the cyberattack, M&S stopped taking online clothing orders and also took other systems offline. That reduced food availability and also resulted in higher waste and logistics costs. In May, M&S said the attack would cost it about 300 million pounds ($406 million) in lost operating profit. The group resumed taking online orders for clothing lines on June 10 after a 46-day suspension following the attack, but it is yet to restart click and collect services. Most of NielsenIQ's data broadly echoed the findings of rival researcher Worldpanel's report on Tuesday, with robust performances from market leader Tesco (TSCO.L), opens new tab, number two player Sainsbury's (SBRY.L), opens new tab, discounters Aldi and Lidl and online supermarket Ocado (OCDO.L), opens new tab. However, M&S is not fully included in Worldpanel's market share data set. ($1 = 0.7390 pounds)
