1. A set of pastel highlighters that won't smudge or smear your notes. They're super fast-drying, too, so they won't make your study notes soggy.
2. A funky keyboard cover that'll keep the dust and crumbles from setting between your buttons. It's made of soft silicone and will actually diminish the click-clack of your keys, too.
3. A cute compass set that'll make math class feel a little less terrible. It comes with all the classics, like a protractor and a couple of triangle rulers, plus an eraser if you make some mistakes in your calculations.
4. This canvas pencil case that'll help you keep track of (i.e. NOT LOSE) your belongings. It has double compartments, so you can keep sharp things — like scissors or your geometry compass — from stabbing your hand the next time you reach for a pencil.
5. This heart-shaped computer mouse that'll add a little *amour* to your desk setup. It's small enough to tuck in your bag, so you can comfortably bring this to your next class (and since it's USB-powered, it won't die halfway through).
6. A letter sorter that'll organize your mail and look great doing it. It's made of metal (instead of plastic) and has handy notches to keep important correspondence within view.
7. An expandable file folder that'll help you get your documents under control. Each pocket is colour coded, so finding what you're looking for will be easier than ever.
8. A mini calculator that'll help you solve all those tough equations. It's small enough to fit in even the most overstuffed pencil case (or even your pocket, if you're in a bind).
9. A clip-on ring light that'll attach to your laptop (or other surface of choice), so you can look your best during virtual classes. And since it has 13 settings to choose from, it'll be perfect for all your content creation needs, too.
10. An undated daily planner that will help you keep track of your extensive to-do list. It has sections for appointments, achievements, and everything else you'll need to tackle during the day.
11. A pair of minimalist scissors that'll snip and shear through just about everything. Their super-fine point means you'll be able to tackle detail work and sharp corners, while being strong enough to cut through tougher materials (like cardboard).
12. A cheery book light that'll help you burn the midnight oil. It'll clip right onto any tome and has a flexible gooseneck so you'll always get light right where you need it.
13. This lightweight laptop stand that'll elevate your computer to comfortable heights. Reviewers say it's super easy to set up, plus it won't wobble or wiggle the next time you're banging out an essay.
14. Or a lap desk that'll double as a portable tray. It has a cushy foam pad that'll conform to your body and also includes a handy built-in mousepad and phone holder.
15. A set of metallic gel pens that'll jazz up your study notes. Reviewers say they're basically smudge-proof and love the silky-smooth ink.
16. This sleek wireless charger that'll juice up your device without turning your desk into a mass of cables. It not only has a weighted base, but features a fabric top to keep your phone from skidding around.
17. One of these tasty-looking pencil sharpeners that all your friends will want to borrow. Reviewers say they're easy to grip, so you won't be wrestling with it the next time you're giving your pencil the ol' twisteroo.
18. This rose gold paperclip holder that'll help you corral those pesky buggers. Reviewers love that the 360° magnetic top helps keep the clips in place (even if you don't quite get it INTO the container).
19. A set of plastic dividers that won't disintegrate halfway through the semester. They're translucent for easy referencing and have customizable tabs to help you stay organized.
20. A set of cheerful binder clips that'll keep your important documents from scattering to the wind. They're made of sturdy metal and come in a variety of colours to help you categorize your stuff.
21. A desktop storage cubby that'll hide away your office supplies and keep your workspace free of clutter. It has six drawers in varying sizes, so you'll have room for everything from paper clips to extra pencils.
22. A set of adorable cable protectors that'll keep your charger from disintegrating. They're soft and flexible, so they'll fit snugly around cords (without chomping through them).
23. This stylish message board that'll outshine traditional cork boards. You can use with both push pins and magnets, and reviewers say it's super easy to hang, too.
24. These hanging file folders that might actually make you want to tidy your documents. They have adjustable tabs and customizable label inserts, so you won't have to rummage around the next time you need a specific doc.
25. And finally, a copper tape dispenser that'll help you get a hand on those pesky sticky rolls. The graceful wire design means it'll look great on your desk, so you won't have to rummage through endless drawers the next time you're wrapping a gift.
