Ready for back to school shopping? As summer creeps to a close and the school year begins, you've probably started a school supplies list. If you (or your child) want to stand out from the crowd and show off your personality, there are plenty of cute school supplies for all ages.
We've chosen items that are great for note-taking and homework, including personalized pencils. Additionally, there are stackable stationery boxes and pouches with plenty of space for students to put away their essentials. But don't forget to pick up a set of pencil tip protectors! They will make sure the point of the pencil stays sharp even when it's inside a case.
Some back to school trends include items with an eco-twist, such as bento-style lunch boxes that put less trash into the environment. Other items help you give to a good cause while picking up a back to school backpack. For instance, STATE Bags has multiple initiatives to help American families and children in need, including donating fully-stocked backpacks to schoolchildren and fueling empathetic conversations with children through an initiative called #WhatDoWeTellTheKids.
Scroll down for a selection of our favorite cute school supplies.
To help you express your style while sitting in the classroom, check out our back to school shopping list.
