Okay so spoiler alert- I am not going back to school. BUT, I am a total nerd and I absolutely LOVE stationary, planners, new pens, the whole nine yards! And I’ve recently partnered up with Erin Condren to share the best back to school essentials ever.
And, just like me, you don’t have to be going back to school to use them. Going back to school is no longer just for kids and this brand new collection is proof of that! It comes with everything you need to refresh your desk or office space.
Not only is everything fun, but functional too! We’re talking brand new stationary, writing tools, and organizing must-haves that are also designed to bring you joy by their pretty appearance.
Y’all already know what a huge Erin Condren fan I am. I’ve already shared that they make the best life planners around! So If you’re a nerd like me, be sure to check out this brand new and fun collection too!

What Are the Back to School Essentials?
So now I am going to highlight everything that came in my back to school collection box. I’m not gonna lie y’all, this is so much fun for me! I used to love going back to school shopping (both for clothes and supplies) and there is nothing like some brand new pens and pretty folders.
Because of that, I am greatly enjoying myself testing out all the new goodies and sharing them with you. I may not be going back to school, but I do use a lot of these products in my daily life. I am old school and love to write down appointments and everything in a planner.
And I like to brainstorm blogging ideas in an actual paper notebook. As I mentioned in my Haven Conference recap, I love to actually take notes too whenever I am in a class. I feel like I learn even better when I write things down.
Daily Routine and Ritual Notebook
This notebook is brand new and literally just launched on August 10th. So it is just a few days old! Get your hands on this notebook to start discovering what your daily routines and rituals are.
I am excited to jot some of mine down from day to day and see which ones I am more prone to. And which ones I actually stick with and like.
In Bloom Academic Planner
Okay, an academic planner is obviously a must for some back to school essentials. I feel like if you really are a student, you gotta have one! Definitely helps you stay organized with all your upcoming classes and/or assignments as well.
Weekly Habits Sticky Notepad
This one kind of goes along with the daily routine and ritual notebook. But it’s in sticky pad form which is even easier to write down a few notes for it!
Color Change Pen Set 6pk
Um, excuse me?? Color changing pens?! Sign me up please because how fun is that?! Make your note taking go to the next level with these fun pens!
Student Weekly Schedule Deskpad
This is another back to school essential if you truly are a student. This would be perfect to keep on your desk to help you be able to quickly organize everything with just a glance!
Sticky Note Ball
Okay, I’m sorry, a sticky note ball?! Again, how much fun is that?! Why weren’t these cute things around back when I was in school?
Vegan Leather Folio
I definitely geeked out on this beautiful leather folio. It can hold so many things since there are so many different sized pockets and everything in it.
I immediately thought that it can hold some of my business cards and things like that. So if you’re a blogger too, then you definitely should invest in one of these. Plus, the vegan leather is so soft and buttery!
Blush Calculator
I mean you gotta have a calculator on your desk right? And not just any old calculator, but a cute blush one obviously!
Gold Bookmark Ruler
Same thing goes for rulers too, right? It needs to be gold and shiny and pretty! I also love how this one doubles as a bookmark too! Bonus points!
Lined 3 Subject Notebook
These are my favorite notebooks and the ones I use to brainstorm all my blog ideas. Plus, it’s definitely another back to school essential for students for sure! You can’t really go to school without notebooks, can you?
And can they be any cuter? Erin Condren has so many beautiful designs to choose from. There is literally something for everyone on their site!
Heading Back to School

While I’m not going back to school, I do love to use this time to get organised for a new season. I love all the wee organisation things that pop up for back to schoolers.
Yes, I am the same way! I am not going back to school either, but love these essentials to help refresh my desk/office space!
The best thing about going back to school was restocking my stationery! I tend to mostly use my laptop for uni now, but still use plenty of stationary for my bullet journal. The sticky note ball looks like fun 🙂
Thank you! It sure is! Love fun stationary products like that!
Ooh I love this! I’m a massive stationery lover but somehow hadn’t heard of Erin Condren before – I’ll have to check it out! I’m starting uni in September and this gave me so many ideas. The post it note ball and colour changing pens both look super fun! Thank you so much for sharing x

Cute stationery! I love stationery too but I wouldn’t need such an extensive amount now, I left school many years ago! I do miss doing all the stationery shopping before September!

Thank you so much. I totally agree. I have to have everything written down or else I won’t remember any of it lol
These are all so much fun – I love the weekly habits tracker. As someone with ADD, trying to stick to a daily routine is a struggle at the best of times haha! That’s something that I could definitely see helping to keep me organized.
Thank you! Yes, that weekly habits tracker is very beneficial for sure.
I’m headed to university, so this list was so helpful! Love the looks of the calculator and folio. 🥰

I was today old when I realized I needed a sticky note ball!! That looks so cool! 😀 Great post thanks for sharing! 🙂
Lol right?! Every adult needs a sticky note ball!
Yes, all these products are definitely useful either one is in school or not. But my favourite has to be the that blush calculator.🥺😍
Thank you! I love that one too! And it is so handy!

No problem at all! Glad you enjoyed this list too!
Great review and really essential thing. I am going to school, but I think from the previous year that a good pen (bought 4 colors in 1), notepad and tablet will be enough. Maybe. Though this sticky note ball is really cool and who said you can only use it while in school? It would be perfect for office/kitchen also for quick notes 🙂
Yes, I am using it in my office too because I am not going back to school either. These make perfect office accessories too!
I like back-to-school items too. I do like the new items that you have listed for back-to-school. Excellent post.
