For my mother, driving was the worst part of back-to-school shopping. I always wanted the most unique version of everything. That meant driving to every school or office supply store within 20 miles. Thankfully, I had an amazing mother. Truth be told, now that I am a mother in the Amazon Prime era, I am not sure I would have made those same sacrifices.
Now, all families (as will I when that time comes) have the opportunity to browse through a wide selection of school supplies from the comfort of their own home thanks to Amazon. Not only can you find every school day necessity by school shopping on Amazon, you are also able to find cute and unique supplies that will set your kids apart. And they are delivered straight to your door! No lines, no gas money, and FREE shipping with Amazon Prime orders.
My daughter is currently in pre-K. Although I am reluctant for her to grow up, I can’t wait for back-to-school shopping for her —online and from the comfort of my own home. I have to say, after browsing the Amazon Happy School Year school supplies, I found a few things for myself too. The list includes this S’well Vacuum 17oz Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle or these Prismacolor Soft Core Colored Pencils. The adult coloring book craze truly does relieve stress!
We asked one of our writers to share some of their back to school “must haves.” Amber is currently back-to-school shopping for her 10-year-old daughter.
“Some of my personal favorites are the gold foil and animal patterns like the ones in these field notebooks. The stylish packaging makes these colored pencils seem like a luxury item. We’ll be angling for trendsetter status with mild colored highlighters from Zebra and we can get her a Vans brand backpack while we’re at it.” ~ Amber, SDMB Contributor
