Emily Smith

At Emily Reviews we are planning our 2026 Back to School gift guide! We'll be featuring a variety of items that families will be purchasing for back to school, covering every age and stage, from preschoolers just starting out, to college students heading to campus and everyone in between. We'll be covering basic school supplies like notebooks, binders, and backpacks, as well as clothing, shoes, tech items, lunch gear, dorm essentials, and other "extras" like water bottles, hair accessories, or fidgets that can help students feel their best, which can help contribute to a more successful school year! We look to work with brands or businesses that are interested in sending product samples. In some cases, we'll do full reviews of products. In other cases, we simply accept the product sample in exchange for a featured post. All brands that participate in our gift guide will have the option to host a giveaway for our readers if they'd like. Our readers are primarily women ages 25-44 living in the US. Most have at least one child, and most are the primary shopper for their household. Emily Reviews has been publishing product reviews and gift guides since 2009, and gift guide features include a photo, a description, and a link to where people can purchase your product. To be considered for inclusion, please send: your brand or product name, a brief description, a link where we can see your products, and your best contact for coordinating samples. The guide will publish in early August and be promoted across our social channels.

I'm currently putting together a Summer Roundup featuring the best Beach Day Essentials and Summer Must-Haves and am looking for products to include! If you have an item that's perfect for beach trips, pool days, outdoor adventures, family fun, travel, or summer entertaining, I'd love to hear about it. Please note: Product samples are required for consideration and inclusion in this feature. Feel free to send details, images, and any relevant information about your product. I look forward to discovering some of this season's must-have finds!
