As summer winds down, parents, teachers, and students all start gearing up for the upcoming school year. While some kids may drag their feet at the thought of heading back, some are excited for the change. After all, a new school season usually means new school supplies! Let us help your student start the year off right with some fresh, personalised accessories. Whether they’re heading back to school, college or learning from home, we’ve got them covered!
Student Essentials
From primary school to college, we’ve got lots of ways for your students to customise all their scholarly essentials. First and foremost, they’ll need plenty of paper on hand for assignments, brainstorms, and occasional doodles. Our spiral, softcover, and hardcover notebooks are sure to make note-taking a breeze. Plus, you can personalise the cover with a name, photo, and cute design.
Looking for ways to keep them organised and on track? Custom calendars are a big help! Our 11×17″ wall calendar is one of our best sellers and easy to use. Perfect for keeping track of homework due dates and days off. Make sure to personalise with photos and special dates like birthdays.
If your littlest scholars seem to always misplace their belongings, we have a couple of ways to keep track of school supplies. Photo booth prints are great for pasting onto pencil boxes, calculators, notebooks, and other necessities. You can also customise keyrings and attach to their backpack to help identify which one is theirs. Or better yet, just get a personalised tin, round or rectangular, to keep their supplies tidy and organised. You can add initials, fun phrases, and colourful embellishments to make their tin really stand out from the crowd.
While at school, hydration is key to helping kids stay focused on their studies. Make sure they have a personalised water bottle handy! Make sure to customise with photos, names, and cool designs. Plus, they’re reusable and eco-friendly so you can feel great about saving money and the planet!
Last but not least, if you’re heading back into the classroom, a lot of schools will be requiring face masks to be worn. Might as well get creative and design a personalised face mask for the classroom! Simply select your favoured design and personalise with your own photos and text. Make sure to order multiple masks so you always have extras on hand.
Teacher Essentials
So now that the students have their supplies, let’s get the teachers and parents ready! We’ve got plenty of ways to decorate your workspace, whether it’s at school or home.
Custom calendars are great for starting the school year off right. Grab a 14×22“ wall calendar for the classroom wall and a wood block desk calendar for yourself. The best part about our calendars? You can choose your starting month. No more wasted calendar pages halfway through the year!
Just like our students, teachers and parents will need plenty of paper to write on so spiral, softcover, and hardcover notebooks are critical. If you’re using a computer instead, make sure you have a personalised mouse mat for your desk. Decorate yours with photos, monograms, or whatever you like!
Last but not least, every teacher needs a favourite beverage close at hand. Whether you choose a hot or cold one, make sure you’re sipping in style with a personalised cup! For the commuters, we have a travel mug that will easily fit in standard cupholders. For the home office we have plenty of photo mugs to choose from including a latte mug and a large coffee mug for those late nights spent marking.
DIY Idea
If you’re feeling extra crafty, here’s a DIY idea you can get creative with — a dry erase board! In our original blog post, this dry erase board was created for a cute kids’ calendar. All you need to do is order a large poster print of a blank calendar grid and place it behind a glass frame. Dry erase markers will easily wipe away from the glass surface so you can reuse anytime. Parents can update this idea for the school year with a poster print of a blank worksheet for practising joined up handwriting, times tables, or printing a blank grid for maths problems. Just simply print up whatever you like and switch out anytime. Our poster-sized framed prints come with a glass frame, so it is a really easy purchase decision!
