Going back to school is an exciting time every year. Students return to school with fresh minds, fun holiday stories, new hobbies and gadgets, and other back-to-school supplies.

Often, parents and students start preparing for school towards the last leg of holidays and end up scrambling for school supplies in stores nearby that lack in either quality or variety or both. Luckily, thousands of trendy products, ranging from stationery to art supplies, are available in online stores.

Many people worry that they’ll forget to buy some important back-to-school items. To help out, we have compiled a categorized checklist to help you remember the essentials of back-to-school supplies.

Bagpacks

A comfortable, sleek but spacious backpack is an absolute necessity for students of all ages.

Lunchbox

When getting a lunch box, make sure it is made of a material that is safe to store food and retains freshness for at least a couple of hours.

Stationery Boxes (And Everything Inside)

A complete stationery box should include the following:

- Pencils

- Pens

- Sharpener

- Eraser

- Ruler

- Highlighter

- Mechanical Pencil

- Glue Stick

Geometry Box

Make sure your kid doesn’t start their year by borrowing items in their first geometry class. Remember to get a complete student geometry box for math, science and geography lessons.

NoteBook

Stationary dealers have many hard and softcover notebooks for you to choose from. Take your time to find notebooks that suit your needs and style.
