I always loved shopping for school supplies as a kid... new pencils, new Trapper Keeper (LOL), school clothes, but as a parent, I love it even more... here's a little giggle to see why.
I will say though, that with all of the basic supplies, I also like to do a few personalized ones. I have two kiddos, one headed to 7th grade and one headed to 1st and they both love a little message from me during the day. These are super simple to create and I get the Gold Star Mommy Award. That is always a nice feeling.
