Back to school is fast approaching, and even though this time of year comes with some stress, anxiety and the inevitable end of summer, it’s also a fresh start and exciting new time for your child. The best way to focus on the positives of going back to school is to feel as organised as possible and to help your child look forward to their new or first school year. We thought we’d help out by sharing some back to school gifts and essential ideas to make this school year the best ever!
Coming soon to That’s mine
We’re thrilled to announce coming soon to That’s mine – Trixie Baby! Trixie are a baby and child clothing and accessories brand, inspired by the infinite imagination of a child. Check out some of these fantastic animal-themed backpacks, the ultimate back to school essential!
Backpacks for your next adventure
Trixie backpacks come in different prints and animal characters, and are very lightweight for your little one to carry to school! Here’s some of our favourite picks that you should definitely stay tuned for!
You are dino-mite!
What do you call a dinosaur that never gives up? Try-try-try-ceratops! Mr Dino backpack has adjustable and padded shoulder straps and a short handle at the top to easily hold and hang it everywhere you go.
Mr Lion
King Of the Jungle! Mr Lion Backpack has the most incredible mane and bright colours.
Don’t worry, be hoppy
No-bunny compares to this backpack! The backpack has a big compartment and a little front pocket, where you can nicely store a little snack or so.
Fox-tastic
These backpacks are water repellent and can be washed in the washing machine in a gentle rinse. But be informed that the more you wash the bag, the less water repellent it will get.
Stay tuned to see Trixie Baby on our website!
The perfect back to school gifts and essentials
If it’s your child’s first year at big school and you can’t think what to prepare, here’s some must-have items!
- Lunch box – Every kid wants the coolest lunch box to show off, but you also need a practical one that will fit all their lunchtime snacks. Bento boxes are a great option! A part of Japanese culture, bento boxes are designed to mimic a meal you would have at home; there’s multiple layers for your main dish and other snacks. This will help you provide a balanced, healthy but fun meal for your child.
- Pencil case – If it’s your little one’s first year or not, a new pencil case is always a great idea! Help them feel prepared and organised with a pencil case full of every thing they’ll need for their classes.
- Raincoat – Sometimes the commute to school is the most stressful part of the day. If you walk with your child to school and have to combat the weather, a mini raincoat for you child is essential. Purchase a cute one with their name on it so it doesn’t get lost.
