Happy Friday!

There’s something oddly satisfying about cracking open a fresh notebook or organizing a brand-new pencil pouch. Whether it’s for school, work, or just reclaiming some structure after a chaotic summer, this list has a little bit of everything to help you start the season off right. From notebooks that beg to be scribbled in, to pencil cases with serious personality—here are the finds we’re loving for that back-to-school energy.

We also rounded up over 80 items for back to school needs, and you can shop all of those on our Amazon Storefront!
