Personalised back to school gifts

We know – the first day back at school can be nerve-wracking for everyone involved. That’s why we’ve put together a guide of thoughtful and personalised back to school gift ideas to mark the occasion and help the little ones leave their worries behind at the school gate.

 

Small gift ideas

Sometimes it’s the little tokens that have the biggest impact, whether it’s a personalised card, a badge or a customised keyring they can hang on their backpack. A really unique idea? This card that lets them write plantable wishes for the school year that turn into wildflowers. Now, that’s genius!

Sentimental gift ideas

Chances are, at least someone is going to cry at the school gates. But these sweet gift ideas are here to help make all the anxieties go away, whether it’s a hug token they can carry in their pocket, a sweet photo keepsake, a worry doll or matching bracelets for you and the little one. We know, adorable.

Personalised stationery
There’s nothing quite like the excitement of picking out stationery for the beginning of the school year. And, if you personalise it, your life is going to be a whole lot easier as it means their stuff won’t get mixed up with everyone else’s. Side note, how amazing is this hidden name sequin pencil case? So satisfying.

Personalised school bags
We’re pretty sure just about every kid in the world wants their own personalised bag. I mean why wouldn’t they? From backpacks to PE bags and totes, we’ve got tons of fun designs to choose from. You can even get creative and design your own denim bag with this fun kit from small brand, Selfie Craft Co.
