Back to school with Master Lock

This is a Master Lock Back-to-School sponsored post campaign with Global Influence. All opinions are my own.

When I was a kid, it was unbelievably exciting to get ready for each upcoming school year. In my family, we had a back to school shopping tradition. We would each get new outfits, new clothes and a new backpack. We would also get to pick out our own Master Locks. I was so thrilled the first year I was able to get a lock that had a pink face.

Now that I have a daughter, we have continued these traditions. We went back to school shopping and purchased a new backpack, shoes and clothing.

I was really excited to partner with Master Lock to learn about their amazing new line of locks.

Did you know that Master Lock is the largest manufacturer of padlocks and related security products?

Seriously, these are not your parent’s locks or even our generation’s locks. They are game changers. I was so impressed with these innovative devices. My husband and I are actually going to have to draw straws over these locks. We each want to use both of them.

Here are the new Master Locks for this school year:
