30 Throwback School Supplies From The 80s And 90s You’d Beg Your Mom To Buy

When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s I wasn’t a fan of school. I mean, most kids weren’t, but we all still wanted the best new school supplies that came out that year.

Having the coolest new Trapper Keeper or pencil box was how you flexed on other students. And if you didn’t have them you looked like a loser. It probably seems silly now but it was a really big deal back then.

These are some of the coolest school supplies you’d beg your mom for as the school year approached. I still get nostalgic for many of these items, even though I hated school.
