8 Best Items To Buy at IKEA Before School Starts

One strategy for back-to-school shopping is to sprinkle it among various trips during the summer. This can help you avoid big crowds in August and score big deals on items you likely need to buy anyway.

If you have a child who likes to be organized and is eager to get started even before summer winds down, you may want to check out IKEA. They have some back-to-school deals in July to get your student’s room ready for a good year ahead.

Let’s start with one of the essentials for a good school year – a quality backpack. IKEA has a sale on the STARTTID backpack for about $18.

Depending on your child’s personality, they can choose from gray or white and bright lilac. “Comfy to carry and made of water-repellent material that withstands everyday wear and tear” – that’s how IKEA describes this one.

If your student likes fun bedding to start the new school year, IKEA has this BLÅSKATA check-patterned duvet cover set on sale for just under $20.

This one can help make your child’s room a bit more comfy for studying or relaxing. The material mix is designed to keep your student at a comfortable temperature while they sleep.

When it’s time for serious studying, IKEA has several desk options for your student’s room.

For about $100, you can score this RELATERA white desk. The simple and smaller design fits well in most spaces and gives your child options to create a workspace that’s just their own.

If you need a desk that works for sitting or standing, RELATERA has some other options available at IKEA.

For about $130, you can buy this desk with a crank handle that adjusts for your child. It offers space for studying and doing hobbies.

IKEA also has add-ons for your child’s desk to help make it an even more productive work environment for the new school year.

For instance, you can get this phone and tablet holder for about $10. Your child can use it to position their tablet or phone in place for studying or playing.

Here’s something else your child may want for the desk in their room – a writing board and whiteboard combo set.

For around $20, you can score this one. According to IKEA, “On the whiteboard your child can attach notes or pictures with magnets and write down important things – and the angled writing board is a perfect support for a notepad or book.”

Along the same lines as the writing board combo, you can get this foldable BÖNSYRSA book holder for about $6.

This holder gives your student several options. They can use it angled or folded flat for reading or doing activities. Plus, it has a magnetic drawing board on the back.

Do you want your student to express their artistic side this school year? This SOLFÅGEL easel could be a great buy for back-to-school time?

You’ll find it now for about $20. The set includes a palette and spatula with space for paints and more. It’s also simple to carry.
