Get Ready for Back to School, or Send the Perfect Care Package
The new school year is starting soon! Get ready with pronoun badges for sharp outfits, art prints for blank walls, greeting cards to send encouragement, and writing utensils to keep you on-point.
Read on for our back to school recommendations and easy care package ideas.
On the left: Tombow Fudenosuke Pastel Brush Pens stand out on dark paper and act like highlighters on light paper. The brush tip gives you fine control over thin and thick lines in the same brushstroke.
On the right: our weatherproof eco stickers can personalize waterbottles, laptops, notebooks, and more. This monarch sticker (also available as a single seed card and in our insects seed card set) is especially fitting for late summer and early fall, the best time to see these butterflies in Eastern North America.
ππ¦ How to make a thoughtful care package
All our back to school items make great additions for care packages! Care packages aren't just for college students and others living away from home in the new academic year: anyone K-12 and beyond can appreciate an encouraging, fun box in the mail.
To put a smile on your recipient's face, pick out several small items:
- Practical items to make school easier like pencil cases, notebooks, writing utensils, or pronoun badges.
- Fun items to personalize their space or encourage study breaks like washi tape & stickers, a stress ball, patches to upgrade outfits, analog games to play with new friends, or art prints.
- Shelf-stable snacks, especially sweet or crunchy treats that aren't too messy.
For on-campus students, make sure you double-check that your address is formatted correctly before mailing. Each campus is a little different, so most colleges and universities have a page on their website with guidelines.
Once your box is packed, you can draw on the outside or add stickers for even more fun. π
