Back to School Shopping
Posted by: | Comments
It’s Back to School time! Which means Back to School Shopping!
You may have noticed I haven’t been going on too many exciting adventures lately. Instead, I’ve been posting cool things to do, or things I wish I was doing around the Bay Area. I guess the reason I haven’t been sallying around so much is because I’ve been busy with the usual Back to School madness.
One place I have been is to Ideal Stationers in Mill Valley. Ideal Stationers is a great place to buy school supplies! It is also a wonderful place to shop for gifts. I love browsing around Ideal Stationers. It’s a refreshing change from the big office supply stores. Ideal Stationers is locally owned and they have 5 locations in the Bay Area. I buy all of my office supplies there, the kids school supplies and often buy gifts there as well. I even bought a purple backpack style purse there recently. Ideal Stationers always has what I need. They have an awesome selection of pens. I love a good pen, especially if it is purple! The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Ideal Stationers is located in Strawberry Village in Mill Valley.
