Back to School Gift Ideas for Students

A new school year means endless possibilities. Excited students start new grades, schools, and extracurriculars. Teachers plan new lessons, activities, and sure-to-be-earned vacations. Even parents get in on the excitement, dreaming of the day their kiddo starts the year and ends the year. There's no knowing exactly how things will go and how much fun will be had. But either way, first things first. It's time to shop!

Everyone heading back to school, faculty, staff, and students, need the right back-to-school supplies. And while the department stores have the pencils and paper, FUN.com has the backpacks, lunch bags, coffee mugs, and desk accessories to make the year extra special!

A new backpack may not be a must if last year's is holding strong. But our selection of backpacks offers bags for every fandom that are sure to make the carrier feel confident with their favorite characters and worlds backing their school adventures.

A standard-size backpack for grade schoolers featuring Mickey Mouse, Paw Patrol, or a fave anime makes heading out the door each morning more enticing than ever. And a Loungefly mini backpack is sure to get teens and college students packed for their classes while feeling perfectly stylish.

Grab a lunch bag to add personality to daily supplies if a backpack isn't the need. With space for healthy, brain-powering meals and a shape to match Disney's Stitch, lunch breaks are sure to energize more than ever! And if you're looking for a perfectly coordinated style, backpack sets have things covered! Pencil pouches, reusable water bottles, plus the main attractions and decorative extras like keychains make a set a perfect pick!

If the back-to-school journey is less about carrying supplies and more about making school a home away from home, we're still the place to be! Teachers and college students moving into their first dorm or apartment are set with small furnishings, desk decorations, and mugs for every much-needed cup of caffeine.

Shop our exclusive Care Bears home décor for a bean bag to throw in the reading corner of a classroom. Or pick up Made By Us Batman and Wonder Woman throw pillows to turn a cozy abode into a geeky yet aesthetic spot!

Carry a lidded Sailor Moon mug from class to class before sitting down for a Ramen noodle lunch served in magical Harry Potter bowls with chopsticks. Or make your desk the coolest around with Dwight Schrute as a pencil holder and Michael Myers on a mission to prove he can keep some things alive (at least if they're faux plants.)

Of course, we can't forget the most exciting bit of back-to-school shopping: the first-day outfit! Whether heading to kindergarten, the last year of university studies, or teaching your first group of 5th graders, you'll want to dress for the occasion.

Discover playful tees and sneakers for kids and trendy teens. Shop Cakeworthy dresses and flannels to ensure style and comfort in chilly college classrooms. Or sport a professional look that's equally fun with our line of exclusive blazers! Just don't forget the kicks! A pair of Pokémon low tops or Star Wars high tops promise to get you ready for casual Fridays, field trips, and post-finals celebrations alike!
