It’s back-to-school season, which means it’s time to get supplies. For all our upper school bound readers, here are some of our top back-to-school picks!
Planner
From coursework, projects, and extracurriculars, there’s only so much we can keep track of without a planner. We like the customized Erin Condren Academic Planner (prices vary, shop here), which is available coiled or softbound, and the Papier Academic Planner ($32-$37, shop here), which comes in a variety of designs.
Sticky Note Set
You can never have too many sticky notes! But the best kinds come in folios to keep them organized. We like the Rifle Paper Co. Sticky Note Folio ($16, shop here), which is stylish and functional. If you’re looking for bright sticky notes, we suggest the Mr. Pen Sticky Note Set ($10.99, shop here).
Backpack
You can’t go back to class without a great backpack! You can’t go wrong with the Bellroy Via Backpack ($129, shop here), which comes in four neutral colors and features drop-down front-panel access and a raised mesh sunglasses pocket. Our other choice is the Herschel Retreat Backpack ($110, shop here), which comes in 20 colorways and has a back entry zipper with easy access and magnet-fastened straps with metal pin buckles.
Pens
We could rave about these pens for days! First on our list is the Baronfig Squire Rollerball Pen ($59, shop here), featuring a precision-weighted ergonomic shape, an industrial-grade rollerball, and a cartridge-based refill system. Our next choice is the Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen ($99, shop here), which has an all-metal bolt-action mechanism and an ink refill system.
Dry Erase Board
For your dorm, you must have a dry-erase board! We love this scratch-resistant Personalized Living Acrylic Dry Erase Board (prices vary, shop here), which comes in various sizes and colors and doesn’t smudge. We also like the sleek Pottery Barn Glass Magnetic Dry Erase Board ($49.50, shop here), which easily mounts to the wall.
