Back-to-school season is basically my Super Bowl as a stationery girlie, so in this video I’m doing a full haul and honest review of what I picked up from Dollar Tree, Five Below, and Amazon—at a bunch of different price points. I’m not just showing the goodies; I’m talking about what actually feels worth it for real-life routines, because I love a spread that’s whimsical and fairycore but still functional when Monday hits. I also do pen tests and share the kind of little details I always look for before something earns a spot in my everyday lineup. One of the standouts I mention is the collapsable lap desk I grabbed from Amazon, because it fits perfectly into how I plan and journal in different spots (couch planning is a lifestyle). Everything in this haul is purchased by me, not sponsored, and I’m sharing my genuine reactions as I go—what I’m excited to incorporate, what’s just “cute,” and what actually supports my planning flow. If you want more peeks into my vintage Victorian vibe meets practical routine life, you can also find me over on Instagram at valkyrieplans.
