First day of school gift inspiration

Get ahead with a custom calendar

Staying on top of the school year can be a juggling act, from homework to sports practice, students need a handy helper. Create a personalised calendar as a back to school gift to mark important dates, term times and more. Customise with special photos from holidays to fun with pets, so they can revisit them while staying organised.

Relive the first day of school in a book

Their first day of school can stir up a lot of emotions, but it's also a memory to celebrate. They're off to learn and make new friends (and hopefully avoid detention). Take this opportunity to snap a few photos of them sporting their new uniform, and create a small square soft cover photo book as a mini memento and gift for your child starting school.

A personalised mug to smile with every sip

Your back to school checklist might include stationery and uniforms, but don’t forget a personalised mug for those early mornings. If your kid loves a warm drink before school, a personalised mug makes the perfect back to school gift. Create one in a few minutes, just pick their favourite photo. It's a fun and practical addition to the daily school routine.
