It’s late August, almost back to school (or already in school for some)! The time has come to get the school gear together, and I’ve browsed around for some cool items your little ones and older kids should not go without this September.
Storage. Lots of serious contenders out there, but I went for this super-practical plywood modular storage system from aspace.co.uk
So many pretty desks to choose from out there! Here are my favourites:
From top left: fruit-shaped junior desk from eco-and-you.com | MICKE white & pink desk and LISABO in ash venner, both from ikea.ie | Special needs junior tilt desk from smirthwaite.ie
They’ll also need some pretty and practical desktop storage and accoutrements:
Stationery storage on ikea.ie | Desk tidy on muji.eu | After school reminder/motivational stickers on fancy.com
The kids need to look cool in the cafeteria too, so they need just the right lunchbox. The more interesting, the better – this is a humorous and elegant one that suits both boys and girls from Happy Jackson on debenhams.ie:
And now for the stationery essentials. Want our advice on notebooks? Let them choose the one they like. Everything else is less problematic and thankfully cheap. Except for finding the funkiest pen around – but that too is a job for your little and not so little ones.
