Everyone knows that the best part of going back to school (besides a bunch of other things like friends and dorm decor) is the abundance of new school supplies. There’s just something about brand new notebooks, multicolored pen sets and super cute paper clips that gets you excited and motivated to do your best at school. And if you can get new sets every month, even better, right?
Fortunately, there are subscription services that understand this sentiment. Subscription boxes have become a thing in recent years and for good reason. By subscribing to a service that caters to a certain interest, like office supplies or beauty, you get to try various products for a good deal every month. It also saves you a shopping trip or two and introduces you to amazing brands you wouldn’t normally find at conventional stores. It’s kind of great.
We’ve rounded up five awesome, budget-friendly subscription services that are perfect for the back to school season. From therapeutic day planners to exotic pens, exciting goodies await you every month and are guaranteed to satisfy your love for school supplies and ultimately help you be the best student you can be.
