I love office supplies. Finding the perfect pens, notebooks, etc is definitely in the top 10 of my life passions. My favorite part about school was honestly back to school supply shopping. I always loved when my teacher would mail out a list. My mom and I would take it to Target, staples, and wherever else hunting down every last item in coordinating colors. We’d make a day of it and it was the best! School wasn’t my favorite (understatement of the century) and this day combated my anxiety and always left me feeling actually a smidge excited for the year to begin. I’d enter on the first day equipped with binders and a pencil pouch confident and optimistic about what the year could hold.
Despite no longer being in school (THANK GOODNESS) each year when the leaves change color and the temps start dropping I always find myself itching to do a little school supply shopping. I usually treat myself to a few new goodies! I’ve spent years narrowing down my favorites so I’m pretty much a pro by now! Here is my round up of the best of the best!
Planner – of COURSE you need the perfect planner! I used to love picking them out! Now I have found what works for me and I don’t mess with it! 2020 will be my 4th year with the Daily Simplified Planner. It’s magical.
Pens – Don’t judge me but I have different pens I like for different purposes! The Pilot Precise V5RT is one of the BEST pens I’ve ever used! They are a buttery smooth fine point which makes them perfect for filling out calendars! For journaling, jotting, and everything in-between I love a classic G2! I’m a loyalist here. Black only. 0.7 point please. I keep one in every bag! I get this from my dad who has used G2’s since the beginning of time…but only blue. He’s as specific as I am 😉
The Best Highlighters – pastel, don’t bleed through, and all the good colors! I use them in my Bible, in my planner, on basically everything.
Notebook perfection – I’ve searched high and low and this is the brain dump book everyone needs! The Leuchtturm1917 Hardcover Master Slim Dotted Notebook Army. Dotted, a front pocket, a table of contents, flat binding. Everything you need and more.
Book Bag – Of course, the perfect bag to store all your new goodies! I’m currently eyeing this beauty from Stella & Dot and might need to get my hands on it!
