Style Overview

Supply lists, a calendar filling up fast and a whole semester of fresh pages ahead! Our back to school essentials meet that moment with a big dose of cheer: colorful notebooks, academic planners, weekly desk pads, gel pens, highlighter sets, backpacks, insulated lunch bags, boho lanyards and patches, all in the happy prints we love. Stocking a first locker or outfitting a whole dorm room full of treasures? This is your spot, from the first bell to the second-semester restart in January.

Set Up a Study Space That Makes You Smile

We really believe a happy desk makes homework feel less like a chore! Start with an academic planner so the whole semester lives in one place, from midterms to football games to winter-break road trips. A weekly pad sits right under your keyboard or textbook and catches the little stuff, like permission slips and library books due Friday.

Then bring on the color. Gel pens turn note-taking into something you actually look forward to, and a highlighter in every shade makes color-coding each subject easy. We love pairing a floral notebook with a matching pen for each class, so grabbing the right one on a rushed, dark November morning takes two seconds. To round out the setup, our stationery and desk collection is full of sunny extras that keep the good vibes going all year.

A quick tip from us: keep one notebook that isn't for any class at all. Use it for doodles, big dreams, holiday gift lists or favorite quotes. Some of the best ideas show up between assignments... and a pretty place to put them makes you way more likely to write them down!

Backpacks, Lunch Bags & Totes for the Daily Haul

The right carry-all holds more than books, it holds the whole day! Our backpacks come in our happiest prints and are roomy enough for binders, a laptop and everything between. An insulated lunch bag keeps lunch fresh from the morning rush to the cafeteria, and it wipes clean whenever the week gets messy.

Totes are the flexible players here. Sling one over your shoulder for the library, after-school practice or a Saturday at the homecoming game. Boho lanyards keep student IDs, keys and badges right where you need them, which saves a lot of bottom-of-the-backpack digging. For the tiny things that love to wander off, our favorite little zip pouches corral pencils, chargers, lip balm and earbuds.

Then there are the patches, our favorite way to make any bag totally yours. Press one onto a backpack, a laptop sleeve or a water bottle and it instantly feels made just for you. They go on in seconds and make the sweetest little swap between friends, so grab a few extras for the group!

Sweet Gifts for Students, Teachers & Fresh Starts

Fresh starts deserve a little celebrating, and the school year is full of them! For students, we love bundling a planner, a rainbow of gel pens and a boho lanyard into one cheerful care package, perfect for a finals-week pick-me-up or a winter break welcome home. Our gifts picked just for teens are full of ideas for the girl who insists she doesn't need anything. College kids especially love mail that isn't a bill!

Teachers deserve a treat too. A bright notebook or a highlighter set says "we appreciate you" in a way that gets used every single school day. These small treasures make sweet holiday thank-yous for teachers, bus drivers and coaches, or a surprise left on a desk before winter break.

Not sure where to start? Our full gift guide sorts ideas by person and by price, so you can cross every name off your list. And these treasures keep giving long after September, since planners, pens and totes stay just as loved in the middle of winter.

Our Back To School

Our Back To School collection gathers notebooks, planners, desk pads, pens, backpacks, lunch bags and totes, everything a student needs to start the year organized and smiling from the first bell on. Every treasure carries the colorful prints and feel-good details that make a plain school day a little brighter!

FAQs

What kinds of school supplies does this collection include?

You'll find notebooks, academic planners, weekly desk pads, gel pens and highlighter sets for the study space, plus backpacks, totes, lunch bags, boho lanyards and patches for the everyday carry. It's the whole checklist in one happy place, covered in the colorful prints and sweet sayings we're known for. Easy to shop, easy to love!

Are the lunch bags insulated?

Yes! They're fully insulated, so a packed sandwich, fruit and a drink stay fresh from the morning pack-up until it's time to eat. They wipe clean after a messy week, and the bright patterns make them easy to spot in a crowded cafeteria or a shared break room fridge. Sooo much better than a paper sack.

What makes a good school gift?

We love a little bundle: a notebook, a fun pen and a lanyard for a student ID. For a girl who likes switching up her look between classes, a Boho Bandeau® headband is a sweet add-on that works with every hairstyle and doubles as an ear warmer on cold walks to class. It also makes a perfect stocking stuffer!

How can I make a plain backpack feel more personal?

Patches are the easiest answer! Press a few onto a backpack, laptop sleeve or pencil pouch and it instantly feels one-of-a-kind. Mix florals with rainbows, or let each family member pick their own so every bag by the door is easy to tell apart. They're a fun way to refresh a bag you already own for the new semester, too.

Do these supplies stay useful after the first day?

Absolutely! Academic planners follow the school calendar, but notebooks, pens and highlighters earn their keep in every season. Totes and insulated carriers move straight from the weekday routine to road trips, holiday travel and weekend errands, and patches go wherever the bag goes next. That's why we reach for this collection any time a friend needs a fresh-start boost.
