Buy local for back to school
If you’re still shopping for back to school, consider buying local and handmade. Jennifer O’Brien’s durable tote bags, which are made out of heavy duty duck cotton canvas and lined with felt, are perfect for carrying textbooks. Need a globe? Check out Bluebell’s collection of vintage home décor. Fuzzy Mug’s snazzy wire bound journals are made from recycled paper stock, and Glow Girl’s reusable fabric sandwich sacks are so much cooler than plastic baggies. The best part is that all of these items are available on Etsy, so you won't have to fuss with long lines. Simply click and enjoy:
