Back to School Gifts (2026)
A new school year means a heavier bag, longer days, and a desk that has to work harder. The best back-to-school gifts handle one of those jobs well. The Riderbag Xtreme 30L Tactical Backpack ($99.95) carries a laptop, gym clothes, and books through a full day. ProtoArc's XKM01 Foldable Keyboard & Mouse Combo ($69.99) folds down and turns a phone or tablet into a portable workstation for the library or study hall.
For the creative student, the Let's Resin 72 Colors Brush Tip Acrylic Paint Markers Set ($33.99) covers paper, rocks, and fabric. Makeblock's CyberPi ($54.99) is a palm-sized programmable board that teaches beginners to code real projects, and the lightweight ONIKUMA GT820 Bluetooth headphones ($59.99) fold into a bag for music between classes. Prices on this list run from $12.99 to $109.99, and every pick comes from a brand we've researched.
