Back To School Blog Post #3

It’s weird being a recent college grad and not having to go back to school. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy right where I am. No more finals and writing papers on topics I don’t care about or boring required courses.

But what I do miss from when I was younger is back to school shopping. As I shop at Office Depot, memories of Lisa Frank folders, boxes of markers, and begging my mom for things that I really NEEDED, but something I knew she wouldn’t deem necessary come flying back to me.

Whether you’re shopping for a preschooler or a senior in college. If you’re a parent, student, grandparent or teacher, CafeGive has something for you! Here is the list of Back to School products being offered right now on CafeGive. Why not make someone’s day a little brighter by giving them the tools to succeed in their education and through our causes help those who might not get such an opportunity.

  1. School shopping is one of my favorite things to do....I loved getting new pencils, paper, markers, book bags, etc as a child. Office Depot is one of my favorite stores.
