Most back-to-school guides recommend the same boring gear year after year. But if you're a Spy x Family fan, you know your school supplies can be as exciting as a Loid Forger mission. This year, I've curated a list of merch that actually makes you want to pack your bag and head to class. From backpacks that channel Twilight's stealth to notebooks that would make Anya proud, here are the best Spy x Family picks for 2026.
Quick Picks: Best Spy x Family Back to School Merch

| Forger Family Backpack | Daily carry | Spacious main compartment with padded laptop sleeve | $45 - $55 |
| Anya "Waku Waku" Notebook Set | Taking notes | Set of 3 spiral-bound notebooks with character art | $15 - $20 |
| Spy x Family Hoodie | Layering for cooler mornings | 80% cotton / 20% polyester fleece, front pouch pocket | $50 - $65 |

Top Spy x Family Backpacks and School Bags for 2026
A good backpack is the foundation of your school carry. The Forger Family Backpack stands out because it's not just a licensed print - it's built for real use. I've tested bags that fall apart after a month, but this one features reinforced stitching, water-resistant fabric, and a padded laptop compartment that fits up to a 15-inch device. The design shows Anya, Loid, and Yor in a playful scene, but it's subtle enough that you won't feel like a walking billboard.
If you prefer something lighter, the Bond Pfennig Daypack is a great alternative. It's smaller - perfect for a tablet and a few books - and features a hidden zipper pocket for valuables. Both bags have adjustable straps with breathable mesh, a must for long walks across campus.
What to Look for in a Backpack
- Padded shoulder straps to reduce strain
- Multiple compartments for organization
- Durable zippers that won't snag
- Water resistance for unexpected rain
Spy x Family Stationery and Notebooks to Ace Your Classes
I'm a sucker for good notebooks, and Spy x Family has some of the cutest designs. The Anya "Waku Waku" Notebook Set includes three spiral-bound notebooks with different covers: Anya eating peanuts, Anya with Bond, and the whole Forger family. Each has 70 sheets of college-ruled paper that handles fountain pen ink surprisingly well - no bleed-through on standard ballpoints.
For planning, the Operation Strix Planner is a weekly layout with character quotes and mission-themed sections. It runs from August 2026 to July 2027, so it's perfect for the academic year. I especially love the sticker sheets included - you can mark exams with little Anya faces.
Stationery Must-Haves
- Anya sticker sheet (over 50 stickers, $6)
- Spy x Family mechanical pencil set (0.5mm, pack of 3, $8)
- Loid Forger sticky notes (3x3 inch, 100 sheets, $5)
Spy x Family Apparel to Wear to School This Year
Apparel is where this merch really shines because it's wearable without screaming "anime fan." The Spy x Family Hoodie is my top pick - it's a classic pullover with a front pouch pocket and an embroidered patch of Anya saying "Waku Waku" on the left chest. The fabric is a heavyweight 80% cotton / 20% polyester that holds its shape after washing. I've worn mine a dozen times and it still looks new.
If you're in a warmer climate, the short-sleeve T-shirt with the Forger family silhouette is great. It's printed on 100% ring-spun cotton that feels soft right out of the bag. Sizes range from XS to 3XL, and the print is screen-printed with a soft hand feel - no stiff plasticky texture.
Sizing Tip
Most Spy x Family apparel runs true to size, but if you're between sizes, go up one for a relaxed fit. The hoodies are pre-shrunk, but I'd still wash cold and tumble dry low.Must-Have Spy x Family Accessories for Students
Accessories tie your whole school look together. The Lanyard with ID Holder features a durable nylon strap, a clear ID pocket, and a small charm of Anya's peanut. It's perfect for keeping your student ID or transit pass accessible. At $12, it's an easy add-on that gets compliments.
Another practical piece is the Bond Pfennig Pencil Case. It's a canvas roll-up that holds up to 20 pens and pencils. The fabric has a subtle paw-print pattern, and when rolled up, it's compact enough to toss in any bag. For desk organization, the Spy x Family Mouse Pad is 9x7 inches with a non-slip rubber base - great for dorm rooms or library study sessions.
Accessories Checklist
- Lanyard ($12) - ID and key holder
- Pencil case ($15) - keeps writing tools organized
- Mouse pad ($10) - adds style to your workspace
- Water bottle ($18) - 20 oz stainless steel with Anya design
How to Choose the Right Spy x Family Back to School Gear
Start with your biggest need: if you carry a laptop and heavy books, invest in the Forger Family Backpack ($50). If you're mostly taking notes and using a tablet, the Bond Daypack ($35) plus the notebook set ($18) is a smart combo. Apparel is great for layering, so pick one hoodie or tee that fits your climate. Accessories are low-cost ways to show fandom without overhauling your whole bag.
My personal recommendation for best value: the Notebook Set + Lanyard combo. For under $30, you get functional study tools and a daily conversation starter.
