As summer starts to wind down, you’ve likely been seeing all of the fall products that seem to pop up prematurely in every store. From Halloween decorations to pumpkin spice everything, it’s either exciting for those who are more than ready for the season of apple picking and cozy sweaters, or simply too soon for those that love living in sandals and shorts. I’m in the first camp: The large displays of school supplies get me excited, even though I haven’t been to school in years (okay, many years). Still, the excitement of getting the list of supplies and packing a bag full of new binders, pens and textbooks still lingers when I head to the stationary or office supply aisle.
If this sounds a lot like you, why not treat yourself to some new supplies anyway? Many of us, after all, are planning on going back to the office more often in the fall, with PTO and planned vacations paused until the holiday season. And there are some great products that will truly help organize your office desk or your work-from-home desk, as well as things that you can put in your work bag to make commuting way easier. Here are our picks for Amazon finds perfect for refreshing your desk or work bag.
