Our love for the back-to-school season began as small children when we carefully organized our pencil case and selected a brand new lunch box in the weeks leading up to the new school year. Since then, September has always been a month associated with excitement, promise, nervousness, and a strong sense of vitality, no matter how old we are.

To help you achieve your goals this fall (or simply feel good about the school year ahead) we roamed the aisles of Best Buy to find the top six back-to-school must-haves.

1. Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera Kit 

What will you capture this year? Whether you’re decorating a dorm room or putting together a compelling presentation, this Fujifilm Instax Mini is a great way to push your creativity in a new direction. It also looks REALLY fun. See more.

  1. Sonix Clear Coat Case for iPhone 6/6s – Bahama 

We can all agree that back-to-school fashion includes our phone, and while cute phone case isn’t a necessity, it sure does make us happy. We instantly fell for this lush and leafy Sonix “Bahama” case.

  1. Beats by Dr. Dre Solo 2 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones

They’re an investment in your education because podcasts.

4. TrackR Bravo Bluetooth Tracker – 3 Pack – Black/Blue/Gold

Never lose your phone or keys in the library again. We’ve been there; it’s not fun.

5. Digipower Re-Fuel PowerBank 5200mAh Portable Charger 

For the times you’re in a coffee shop at 3am, pumping out a 5000-word essay that is due the next day and suddenly realize your power is about to die. NEVER AGAIN! Take this EVERYWHERE.

6. Acer 11.6″ Chromebook 

A laptop is the back-to-school essential that can break the bank, but not this one! This lightweight Chromebook is everything you need to ace your schoolwork, and we love how it’s built to optimize everything GOOGLE. Honestly, that’s what you need! Sweet deal.
