Get the Gear & Supplies You Need to Start the School Year Right

Stocking up for school starts with basic school supplies, so make sure you’ve got plenty of paper, pens, pencils and highlighters on hand. Smart plugs and power strips will keep you connected—look for models with built-in USB ports. Leave one outlet open to plug in a desk lamp for late night study sessions. If your school day involves bringing a lunch, consider some eco-friendly beverage bottle and food container options. 

Campus life in another city starts with moving day: you’ll need plenty of boxes, bins, tape and other moving supplies. Get the layout of your room in advance and plan where you want to put shelving unitsorganizers and storage containers. If space is at a premium consider a countertop oven and other small kitchen appliances. Regardless of size, however, you can still personalize your living space with decorative lighting, peel & stick wallpaper, and a few favourite aromatherapy scents. Remember to also keep sanitizers, disinfectants and other hygiene products on hand for use at home and when you’re out and about. If it’s your son or daughter heading off to campus, a Home Hardware eGift Card is a great way to help them get started in their new home.

Inspiration is always handy
