Day Designer Daily Planner
COURTESY OF DAY DESIGNER
"Even though I'm not in school anymore, I look forward to getting a new planner every fall. Day Designer's daily planner has been my go-to for years—I couldn't stay organized without it! There's enough space to keep track of both work and personal events, and I love the extra sections for gratitude lists, meal planning, and to-do lists."
— Emily VanSchmus, Home Editor
Soft Touch Ballpoint Pens
COURTESY OF TARGET
"These are my favorite pens I've ever used. They not only write nicely, but the smooth texture and aesthetic of the pen itself is what wins me over."

PackIt Freezable Lunch Bags
COURTESY OF PACKIT
"Stash these collapsible lunch bags in your freezer, and then they're good to go when you need to keep food cold for several hours. No need to mess with ice packs because they're built right in. The Hampton lunch tote that I have is roomy enough to fit in my bulkiest food containers and a water bottle. I'm also impressed with its durability. I've used it for several years and it still looks as good as the day I got it. Plus the bags come in lots of fun designs for both kids and adults."
— Viveka Neveln, Senior Garden Editor
Moglea Desktop Accessories
COURTESY OF MOGLEA
"These hand-painted notebooks and paper pads elevate the look of ordinary to-do lists."
— Caitlin Sole, Senior Home Editor
Wall Organizer
COURTESY OF 1THRIVE
"This wall calendar makes it easy to keep everyone's schedules organized and keep track of important papers. I have The Susan model (and love it!) but 1Thrive has tons of different configurations of chalkboards, dry erase calendars, cork boards, and other organizational tools so you can pick what's best for your family. We truly could not stay organized without it!"
— Emily VanSchmus, Home Editor
Mini Larabars
COURTESY OF TARGET
"WhenEver I'm in a pinch for a quick and easy pick-me-up, Larabar Minis are my go-to. I keep one in the car and my purse at all times!"
