I don’t know about you, but I am one of those rare women who HATE shopping. The driving, the traffic, the pushy people, the heavy carts, and then– worst of all– the big bill at the checkout. I prefer to do as much as I can online. Shopping for school supplies has always been a rather hectic endeavor– one place has crayons but not automatic pencil erasers, another has construction paper but not 1-subject notebooks, blah blah. School shopping is such a hassle, especially if you have four kids with different needs (like me). How about an online place that does it all, even organizes customized school supplies for you, according to the needs of the child’s school? How about EZSchoolSupplies? I just got a package for my elementary-grade son, and what a blast! The kids were thrilled to see the FedEx guy come down the driveway. Who knew school supplies could be so thrilling?

The kids ripped open the FedEx box and the EZ Pack to find a treasure trove of STUFF: construction paper, paper, notebooks, binder, dividers, folders, markers, highlighter, pencils, pens, eraser, scissors, ruler, pencil box, and stickers. Wow!

The markers are name-brand Crayola, which is great. I personally think other marker brands are inferior, so I was happy to see my favorite brand in the pack.

There was even a blank CD in the pack, for computer records. Excellent!

Best of all, it came with every kid’s favorite toy: BUBBLE WRAP. Kept ‘em busy for an hour. Ahhhh.

I highly recommend EZSchoolSupplies. They’re fast and easy, and they’ll also donate 10% back to your school. And getting a special package in the mail soothes the “back to school” tension for the child. It makes it fun.
