Everyone has a favorite pen or pencil, one they just have to use on every test and will never loan out to a friend for fear of losing it. Keep yours safe and sound with a pen and pencil pouch. We have a variety of pouch options perfect to suit your needs. Want to attach it to your backpack so you never forget it? The Kuromi plush pouch with a keychain is the perfect solution.

Keep your lunch organized with a bento box, and make sure your food stays insulated with a lunch bag featuring fun, intricate designs and plenty of space for packing snacks. Don’t forget to stay hydrated! We have plenty of water bottles, too, ranging from light and simple plastic to insulated metal, all with cute designs. You can mix and match to build a lunch set of Studio Ghibli favorites or coordinate the set with the Maneki Neko Lucky Cat designs! Who wouldn’t want a little extra good luck on their pop quiz?

 

Already have the basics covered? Go above and beyond to be extra prepared this school year. It never hurts to have a stapler handy for you and your friends. You won’t find any snooze-worthy staplers here, but you will find a sleepy Korilakkuma! Don’t forget the staple remover. Dress it up with Hello Kitty!
