Things You Could’ve Missed Out From Your Back-To-School Shopping List

Back-To-School shopping is no way near done

School may have just begun, but in no way is shopping for school supplies over yet. It’s still the beginning of the semester, and more often than not students only realize what they’re missing. Like a smoother pen, a laptop that doesn’t lag, or a wireless keyboard because messy cables disarray your study mood. While we do agree these things can cost an arm and a leg, they are sine qua non. Well, anything for success in the new school year right? So here comes a list of the essentials — electronics, stationery & other back-to-school supplies included — in case you blank out on what to buy. Happy shopping!

Smooth Pens

Pentel Hybrid Technica KN104 Ballpoint Pen 0.44mm Black Ink

Never underestimate the power of a pen. To aspiring writers and avid drawers, they are the medium to realizing dreams. But of course, not any ballpoint will do. It has to be Pentel’s Hybrid Technica KN104. The writing instrument delivers dark, vivid lines that do not smudge; has a perfectly sized tip of 0.4mm and a firm grip. That’s not all, the best part is — when left uncapped, the ink does not dry.

Aesthetic Notebooks

Sterling Calligraphy Quotes Spiral Notebook Set

Now that we’re bouncing back to physical classes again, notebooks become a necessity. Since it’s something that we’ll carry with us throughout the rest of the year, it’s always ideal to invest in a covetable one. Sterling’s version fits the bill with its inspirational quotes and brilliant colors. They are also spiral-bound, meaning no more creased pages or accidental tearing! That’s an A+ for a journal.

Two-In-On Tablets

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 5G Black

Offline classes mean lessons will be less digitalized, but there is no way we can just disconnect. Schools have rather adopted a more hybrid system, hence, some teaching materials will still require a smart device to access. A PC’s the typical way, but if you’re looking for something portable, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 scores you both an entertainment device and a laptop in one.

Better Performing Laptop

Xiaomi Redmibook 15 Core i3

It’s alright to go with a laptop instead, we know the temptation to click into gaming apps is always there with tablets. For your peace of mind, getting your child the Xiaomi RedmiBook 15 Core i3 is your best bet. Mainly because it’s powerful, affordable, and has long battery life — making it truly an irresistible deal. While it does lack a bit in design, the pros certainly outweigh the cons.

Wireless Laptop Accessories

Logitech MK215 Wireless Keyboard And Mouse Combo

Bet you’re wondering why to spend extra on something you already have. Yes, we’re aware laptops do come with their own row of keys but what if you decide to elevate your screen for better posture? That’s when a wireless keyboard-mouse combo like this comes in handy. Offering very responsive soft clicks despite its thin framework — this alone has us falling in love at first sight.
