Back to School Products 2025

There are a few items that I’ve really been leaning on this year, especially to make the back to school season a little easier. I thought I’d share them here – all links are affiliates.

Hatch Rest+ – This has made a huge difference in how we wake up in the morning. We originally bought it to help my daughter stay in bed a little longer as a toddler. As she’s transitioned to elementary school and needing an alarm clock it’s been a more gentle kind of alarm clock.

Happy Planner – I’ve become a true convert, I love my Happy Planner. Being able to add pages anywhere means that I can have all of my to-do lists and reminders in one place. I’ve really been able to customize my planner an make it work for me.

Papermate InkJoy Pens – These are my all-time-favorite. I love the gel ink, the way they feel in my hand, and that they look like a work pen and not a 10 year old’s writing accessory.

Kids Headphones – These headphones save me on every road trip (how many times can I really listen to the Bluey theme song?!), so when my daughter needed headphones for school I quickly bought a second pair. At this price I’d buy 10 pairs!

Universal Charging Cable – There are never enough charging cords, and finding the right cord when I need it has become a major pain. Enter this universal cord. It has two different ends that can be plugged into a charging block and three options to plug into a device. The cord is also woven, so it won’t crack or break – absolutely perfect!

Vera Bradley Tote Bag – I’m always a sucker for a great tote bag, and Vera is a classic. I love that they offer solids and they prints that Vere Bradley is known for.

Sistema Bento Lunch Box – These have been our lunch go-tos for year, and with good reason. They have the perfect amount of dividers in just the right sizes, fit in a standard sized lunch box, and hold up to anything. Check out this post to see how we use them.
