Each year, there comes a time that students look forward to no matter how excited (or not) they are to return to school — back-to-school shopping. And perhaps no demographic in history was more excited for this time than ’90s students. You know why? We had a plethora of amazing BTS items that made braving the tax-free weekend crowds well worth it. Here are a few standouts that’ll give you major nostalgia.
Troll pencil-toppers
Twirling your Magic Troll pencil topper’s hair was practically part of your educational curriculum in the ’90s.
Pencil grips
Bless our hearts; we loved the heck out of pencil grips — even if they temporarily malformed the sides of our fingers.
Lisa Frank EVERYTHING
We were all wooed by Lisa Frank’s fluorescent brand of sparkly-unicorn-space-kitten euphoria. Folders, notebooks — you name it and we probably owned it.
Trapper Keeper
How else were you going to keep your dreamy doodles of Johnathon Taylor Thomas and Freddie Prince Jr. from spilling out of your locker?
BIC 4-Color pen
You know you tried to push down every single color at the same time.
Scratch ‘n sniff stickers
But, like, for real… who wouldn’t want to be rewarded for a job well done with a pickle sticker?
Spacemaker pencil cases
Spacemakers let us appease our inner pack rat (hello, nostalgia hoarders) with a cute storage receptacle.
Tamagotchi
We vowed to keep our Tamagotchi pets alive through the entire school year.
Puffy stickers
Boring notebook? Throw a puffy sticker on it. Problem solved.
Bonne Bell
No self-respecting ’90s girl would ever be caught without a tube of Bonne Bell in her pocket.
Tiny erasers
It was rare to find one of these that actually erased anything, but nobody cared. They looked so awesome on your desk, right?
