I absolutely love stationery as much as the next person does. With this in mind, I thought that it would be a good idea to write a blog post on what my stationery must haves would be if I was going back to school. Now, I’m not going back to school in September, but nonetheless I thought that this blog post might be useful for those that are. Some of these are old favourites and whilst others are new favourites that I would definitely recommend if you’re a stationery lover going back to school!
Some of these things I still use today with my bullet journal and I love using them. I don’t know what it is about stationery and buying new stationery, but I just love it. Please tell me that I’m not alone on this!
Zebra Pens
I only bought these pens recently and as a stationery lover, I absolutely love them. I have no idea how I haven’t tried Zebra pens beforeahand, but these are great and easy to write with. If I was going back to school I would definitely be using these, I would highly recommend them!
Staedler Fineliners
These are hands down my favourite Staedler pens and I used them all the time for school work and I still use them to this day for my bullet journal. I tend to buy these when they are on offer at Tesco for half of the original price. I love them and wouldn’t use any other fineliners at the moment!
BIC Fun/Original Cristal Pens
I never used these pens when I was back in school, but I’ve only recently started using them this year and I love them. I used to use papermate pens, but if I was going back to school then I would definitely recommend these. The fun pack of these pens would be great for school too!
Staedler Highlighters
I enjoyed using highlighters in my school work and my revision notes, and I still enjoy using them to this day! The Staedler highlighters have always been a personal favourite of mine. They’re great for highlighting information and key words and just generally brightening up your school work.
A Notebook (or two!)
If you’re anything like me, I enjoy using good quality paper when it comes to notebooks and notebooks that had margins on them! When I was at school I never used Campus notebooks, I tended to buy my notebooks from WHSmith which are just as good, but I love the Campus notebooks. A good quality notebook with margins is a must in my mind!
Academic Diary
Having an academic diary is something that I would highly recommend to anyone going back to school. It’s a must for keeping yourself organised with any homework, events or anything in your personal life that you want to keep a track of. You could always by a blank lined notebook (like the Pukka one above) and create your own simple weekly diary if you want to make it a little more personalised, but that’s completely up to you.
Mini Stationery Set
If I was going back to school this year then I would have loved this mini stationery set that a bought a couple of months or so ago from Wilko’s. It includes 10 paper clips, a highlighter, a tape dispenser with tape, 2 binder clips and a stapler with staples.
What are some of your back to school stationery must haves?

I’m going into my third year of uni and I am so ready to buy new stationery! I’ve already got a few good notebooks from the paperchase sale but still need most of the items on this list, especially the fineliners since mine died in exam season. Such a good buy! Great post x

Stabilo pens are a must have for me! They make writing, revising, notes so much for fun because of all the pretty colours you can get. I recently got a Pastel Pack and I love them. I had to get them when they were on a discount though too! I love highlighters took I am one of those people that highlights everything though! I do love a good stationary haul! xx

I’m pretty sure stationary shopping was the ONLY good thing about the summer holidays coming to an end! Do I need two new pencil cases? No. Am I going to buy two new pencil case? Obviously.
The fine liners are a definite most though – I still buy them these days around this time of year because they’re usually on offer!

I immediately clicked on your post because I am also one of those gals that goes crazy over having fresh stationary supplies. When I was still in school, buying new items was the highlight (and in my mind the definition of setting myself up for success). Even though I have been out of the classroom for several years now, I always gravitate towards the newest journal or the smoothest writing pen (and have to force myself not to purchase more until I use up the extensive collection I already have).
