25 Next-Level Stationery And School Supplies
A set of 10 retractable Crayola markers, which honestly should have always existed. How many of us suffered the fate of losing a marker cap or attempted to color only to find the red has completely dried out? Kids these days have it easy — just click and a fresh marker tip pops out, ready for art.
Stackable octopus highlighters that I can almost guarantee no one else will have. Your child? A trendsetter. You? A thief already plotting how to kidnap these cute lil' critters.
A mechanical calculator with typewriter-style keys that'll make crunching the numbers oh-so satisfying. Whether your kiddo needs to do some quick calculations or you need to check their math homework, this battery-powered gadget will make everyone feel like an old-timey accountant.
An XL gluestick for massive projects that need more than a lil' adhesive. Small children may need to use both hands when holding this thing, which is really cute to imagine.
A pack of pastel pencils with dyed wood, so when you sharpen them, they produce lil' rainbow arches. They're made with #2 HB graphite so Scantron tests are about to get a whole lot more whimsical.
Ticonderoga erasers shaped like classic yellow pencils offering a somewhat confusing notetaking experience. Unlike *some* novelty erasers, these actually get the job done, sans smudges.
Or some animal-themed erasers with caps to keep them safe in between mistakes (whether they be homework or Sudoku related). You can get a big pack of 8 or 12, so feel free to share with friends and classmates!
A sheet of stickers featuring little checkbox droplets to help students keep track of their water intake. Place them in an agenda as a cute reminder to stay hydrated. Remembering to drink water never gets easier, so grab some for yourself as well!
A large pencil case with a gazillion different pockets and roomy compartments for everything your child could possibly need during a school day. Gel pens, markers, tape, scissors, and more will have a home! Gee, maybe you need one too for your crafting tools?
Or a plush lobster pencil case featuring a zippered smile that is just — OK, I need a minute — TOO CUTE! It might not fit a ton of stuff, but how many pens does one person really need?
A splurgey Logitech mechanical keyboard you can gift your child in a last-ditch effort to convince them to take care of their poor wrists. It has nice, clackety keys, RGB backlighting, and comes with a cute wrist pillow that'll feel like resting on a cloud. I don't blame you if you find yourself using their computer whenever you wanna check your email.
Kutsuwa highlighter pencils that will have everyone swearing off the marker version for life. These offer more control, don't smudge or bleed, and don't get ink on your hands. Plus, they're just a really cool twist on a school supply classic!
A miniature package (complete with faux packing tape and bubble wrap!!!!) with a surprise shipment inside: STICKERS! Agendas, scrapbooks, and calendars will feel so much more lively when decked out in themed, glittery stickies. Kinda losing it over how cute this presentation is. Hope your kid shares some with you!
A huge mechanical pencil set featuring six pencils, two widths of graphite refills, nine eraser toppers, and three gradient-style erasers. The whole kit has a dreamy pastel theme that's sure to make you wonder if you should grab one for yourself as well. It's an Amazon top seller, so lots of people had the same thought!
A big pack of tempera paint sticks that are easier to handle than paintbrushes and are just sooo satisfying to use. They glide easily, dry fast, and have vibrant hues that show up on even unconventional canvases, like pumpkins.
Uniquely shaped Mr. Pen sharpeners with built-in erasers, because who doesn't love a multitasker? They're easy for small hands to hold and come with holes in the center, which I can only assume are for sick pen tricks.
"Liquipens" — a cross between a pen and a lava lamp. These are fun to play with and likely mesmerizing enough to keep everyone entertained while taking notes in class or trudging through homework.
An expanding file folder for all their homework assignments, field trip forms, and loose documents. As an accordion folder follower, I have to say these things are ALSO top-notch for adults who want to organize everything from restaurant menus to ticket stubs.
A pack of twistable crayons that people have described as a crayon-oil pastel hybrid. They glide like silk and help you create decadent, vibrant masterpieces. But the real selling point? The adorable bear-shaped caps!
A pack of textured pencil sleeves with satisfying swirls and ridges kids and adults alike will love to play with while concentrating on work. These are great for people with anxiety, ADHD, autism, limited mobility, and more.
Journal stamps that add some extra structure to your agenda. The 18-piece kit comes with various designs that'll allow you or your type-A student to add the days of the week, star ratings, reading lists, and more.
A sweet pair of scissors housed in a fruit-shaped magnet holder your child can proudly display in their locker — it'll also make it easy to actually find those darn things when they need them. Might as well also grab a pair for yourself because they'd look soooo cute on your fridge.
A weekly sticky notepad so you or your organized child can plan out the whole week and then stick it somewhere visible for easy reference. It's a lil' less intrusive and more free-flowing than a traditional calendar, like an analog Google cal.
A pair of the *iconic* Kaco pens (known for their adorable heart tops) in your choice of Pantone color. They have every Color of the Year going back to 2000, so you can pick a year with sentimental the year your kid was born!
A nose-shaped pencil sharpener because your actual nose won't sharpen anything. Kids will find this hilarious adults will also wanna pick this funny school supply.
