We write about school supplies for a living, so we’ve seen it all. The viral TikTok water bottles. The cutesy lunchboxes that hold one bite of food. The pencils that break if you look at them wrong. So when it’s time to stock up for our own kids, we don’t mess around. From genius name stamps to the only scissors we’ll buy again, these are the best school supplies we’re actually adding to our carts this year.
