It’s that time of year again! Time to stock up on tons of new gear, and get ready to hit the books. I don’t know about other schools, but I know that GCC starts back up for the Fall on August 24th! I just can’t wait! Therefore, I went out and scouted around town (and the internet), to find the absolute cutest back to school products out there this season. Let’s start off with the locally available goods! Of course you can get these things over the internet as well, I just happened to see them around town.

How about we start with Office Max! I feel like Office Max is an often untapped gem, that tends to get overshadowed by bigger store chains such as Walmart. But if you really take the time to look you can find lots of cute goods, usually at discount prices!

My current favorite products from Office Max are this sweet journal (and there are lots of other journals to choose from, with lots of other quotes), and glitter tape!! Come on, who doesn’t need glitter tape?

Next up is Target, where I hit the jackpot on cute backpacks! I’m in Target a lot; I would honestly have to say that it is my favorite go-to store in town. In addition to cute backpacks, I also spotted wonderful folders, thermoses, and bento boxes lining the store’s isles.

Are these not the cutest backpacks ever??

I’ve been drooling over this one for weeks! I will, have it!

Look at this adorable lunchbox! It’s a cookie!

I think I also saw french fries and hamburger lunchboxes as well.

Lastly, I want to introduce you to this incredibly affordable, and very cute online school supply store called Modes4U. This store offers everything from travel safe cutlery, to dessert shaped erasers, and I highly recommend checking it out. Personally, I was most obsessed with their amazing pencil pouches. I’ve included my favorites below, with links.

Thanks for sharing my back to school, excessive excitement with me! I hope that I was able to inspire you to add a liberal dose of cute to your school supplies haul. Remember, for everything in life, there is always a cute alternative!
