Cute School Supplies for Girls

While most boys enjoy getting a new set of school supplies to start the new term, there’s no doubt that girls can’t seem to get enough of everything to do with stationery, especially when there are so many adorable designs around.

In fact, they’re not just popular with girls in middle school and high school, but college students appreciate them too. Plus, we are sure it’s no secret that there are many adults who have a secret obsession with cool notebooks, pens and desk organizers.

Must-Have School Supplies for 2020

If you’re stocking up on supplies for the new school year, there are a few must-have items for every student.  Here are a couple of our favorites.

Pencil Bags and Carry Cases

Surely the most important new supply for school is the pencil case. It’s the one thing that everyone gets to see so it’s important that you get something cool and fun.

Luckily that’s easy as there are so many different designs around, from see-through cases in neon colors to pouches decorated with cartoon characters. If you’d like something a little bit more grown-up; cases with animal print or with a metallic finish are perfect for college students.

Rose Gold Glitter Pens

Rose gold is everywhere this year, whether you’re buying shoes, jewelry, clothing or glitter pens. Choose from pens with rose gold ink to pens with rose gold glitter casings. They’re sure to make homework more fun and they’ll come in handy when you want to write notes to your friends or fill in your daily journal.

Binders and Folders

There’s no need for boring binders or folders when you can get them decorated with all kinds of images and prints. Whether you find one with your favorite film characters or covered with romantic flowers, taking notes will be a lot less dull with a folder that you love.

School Planners

Everyone needs a new planner to keep on track of classes and assignment deadlines. It’s one of the most popular choices of adorable school supplies for college kids. Adorned with everything from unicorns, sweet cats and dogs to leopard skin prints and flowers, today’s planners are not only practical, but they look really cool too.

Memo Holders and Desk Organizers

While pencil cases are very handy for taking your supplies to school, you also need somewhere to keep all your stationery at home. And that’s where desk organizers and memo holders come in. They’re the perfect place to put your pens and pencils and other necessities such as paperclips, scissors, rulers and memos.

If you’re a middle school or college student, a desk organizer with a built-in charging hub for your phone or other technology will prove to be a very useful addition to your desk, while a desk or wall planner will help to ensure that you submit your assignments on time too.

Cool School Supplies for Middle School Kids

When it comes to school projects, it’s helpful to have a selection of supplies that will help with cutting, sticking and painting. Items such as mini and full-sized staplers, glue and tape, colored pencils, pens, and paints will all help you to create great projects to ensure you get the best grade for your work.

Check out some of the fun designs for 2020 such as Unicorn tape dispensers, floral handled scissors, erasers designed to look like burgers and fries and sharpeners made to resemble porky little pigs. Having distinctive stationery makes any project much more fun!

Fun Art Tools and Supplies

Take your arts and crafts to new levels this year by stocking up on your collection of art tools and accessories. Necessary items include art paper, border trims, a glue gun, paint brushes, erasers, a paint palette, and paints. For more creative projects, you’ll need glitter, ribbons, rubber stamps, shapes, buttons, feathers and maybe even some wiggle eyes.

Can’t Get to Your Local School Supplies Store? Don’t Worry

If you can’t get to a local school supply store, it’s easy to buy school supplies online. Simply find your favorite items, add them to your cart, pay and check out, and your delivery guy will bring them to your door. It’s an easy way to buy all you need without even having to leave your home. Plus, with so many goodies on offer, you’ll be able to find some really unique pieces that may not be readily available in your area.

Want Unique School Supplies? DIY Might Be The answer

Another way to get something unique is to make some of your school supplies yourself. It’s possible to make cute DIY school supplies with washi tape and printed paper. By using your imagination, you can create one-of-a-kind designs by sticking tape and paper to plain stationery supplies.

You can also put together an attractive wall or desk planner where you can note any important dates, deadlines, and information.

All you need to do is invest in the basic art and craft accessories and get a little creative and you can make some really cute supplies for your classroom that will make going back to school so much easier.
