Sure, the kids have been back to school for a couple of weeks now. It's not too late for an eco back-to-school perkup, though, and these recycled stationary packs are - as stationary goes - pretty damn cool. As well as a neutral design, there's a girly pink one (Punk Metal) with a pencil case made from old car tyres and a boy blue set (Storm Frog) with pens made out of old printers. The key thing here is that they're just hip enough not to invite jibing from classmates. Which is paramount, as any 13 year old will attest. The A7 notebooks start at £1.69 with pencil cases at £4.25 and pens/pencils costing somewhere in between. Remarkable
