-
Make a list: Before you start shopping, make a list of the items you need. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything important. You may want to consult with your school supply list or syllabus to make sure you have everything you need. Also, think through all the experiences of the year such as exam time, annual days, debates etc. that your child partakes. This will ensure a complete list.
-
Set a budget: It's easy to get carried away when shopping for stationery, so it's important to set a budget beforehand. This will help you prioritize your purchases and ensure that you don't overspend.
-
Shop early: To avoid the crowds and get the best selection, try to do your back to school stationery shopping early. This will also give you time to pick your themes and designs for the year if you’re looking to personalize and customize your stationery. At Cupik Design, we usually launch new themes in the back to school stationery section around this time of year.
-
Look for sales and discounts: Keep an eye out for sales and discounts on back to school stationery items. Retailers often offer deals on these items during the summer months when schools have ended for the year.
-
Buy quality items: While it may be tempting to opt for cheaper stationery items, investing in quality items can actually save you money in the long run. Quality items will last longer and perform better, meaning that you won't have to replace them as frequently. We at Cupik maintain high standards for the quality of products we offer our customers.
-
Consider functionality: When choosing stationery items, think about how you will use them. For example, if you plan on using a lot of highlighters, invest in a set that includes different colors. Or supposing there’s a tendency to mix up stationery items like crayons or colored pencils, personalisation can be added to ensure that it doesn't happen.
-
Personalize your items: Adding a personal touch to your stationery items can make them more fun and enjoyable to use. We at Cupik Design can also personalize water bottles, pencil pouches and backpacks. Consider adding stickers or labels to your notebooks and folders to make them uniquely yours. Customized waterproof stickers and transparent labels can be another addition to your list.
-
Don't forget the basics: While it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of shopping for new stationery items, don't forget the basics. Make sure you have plenty of pens, pencils, erasers, notebooks and paper.
-
Choose items that reflect your personality: Stationery shopping is also a great opportunity to choose items that reflect your personality and style. Consider picking items in your favorite colors or patterns to make studying more fun and encouraging.
