• A mom was astonished after seeing some of the things her daughter brought back from school
• She took a video to show the items and later shared it on her TikTok account
• The clip got many social media users commenting that their kids never bring things back from school when the year ends

Now that the school season is over, parents must start preparing for next year's items. Knowing how expensive they can be, it is always better to get them with Christmas shopping.

One local mom won't get everything on next year's stationery list. Her child returned many items she did not use this year, which she shared in a TikTok video under her user handle @viv_magazi.
