Everyone gives going back to school a pretty hard time but hey, it’s time we gave it a better rep. 

Sure, you might be back to juggling homework, dodgy school dinners and classmates who make you eye roll into oblivion, but there is one major silver lining: Back to school also means kitting yourself out with an entire new set of school supplies.

Think shiny new ring binders, pencil cases that haven’t been graffitied, and pens that are yet to be chewed into bits by people you sit next to. Yup, it’s any stationery lover’s favourite time of year. But where should you start this year if you’re on the hunt for all of the best stationery around?

Don’t worry, our pencil sharpening pal, because we’ve got you covered with 17 bits of lovely deskware that’ll make going back to school so, SO much cuter.
