EDITOR'S NOTE

While it’s been many years since I’ve actually shopped for back-to-school items, there are moments when I’m hit with a pang of nostalgia. Whether you have kids, are a student or not, everyone deserves a refresh come fall. Here are the products we’d buy to evoke the back-to-school energy:

• The bamboo sheet set that was last week’s bestseller (and is currently 35% off with code THESKIMM).

• The best gel pens of all time. We don’t make the rules.

• An undated daily planner, so you can start whenever you feel like it.

• And a fresh pair of sneakers, because who says you have to stop buying cute sneakers for the school year at 30 years old?

PS: Later in the send, we’re sharing clothing pieces to buy now to help you save later, so scroll on.
