15 Essential Back-To-School Items You’ll Love To Personalise

Are your little ones always losing things? If so, it’s time to get personal. My 1st Years have us covered for the back-to-school shop with some awesome customisable fare. From super cute animal backpacks to lunchtime essentials to classroom books and accessories, they’re putting a name on it. While you can buy everything non-custom, the best part is that customisation is FREE from My 1st Years.

Back-To-School Essentials With My 1st Years

Backpacking

Going to school for the first time can be nerve-wracking and so can returning for a new year after the summer break. Make them feel cool and confident on the first day back at school with one of these awesome backpacks.

Lunchtime ready

Lunch boxes and bottles are usually the first thing to get lost. Customisation will make them less likely to go walkabout and easy to identify amongst the other children’s lunchtime paraphernalia.

Rainy days

Learning

New year, new pencil case. Kids love picking out their new pencil cases at the start of the year. My 1st Years have some fabulous pen case choices to choose from. We love the personalised The First Day at School book too – great for helping them settle into school life.

In The Spotlight

Nala's Dream by Taylan Kurtul

Nala’s Dream is a magical children’s story with an incredibly poignant story behind it. It was first imagined by five-year-old Taylan Kurtul, who dreamed up an adventure in which his real-life kitten, Nala, travels into space. Taylan sadly died in February 2024, just eight months after being diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumour. His mum lovingly brought the story he created to life as a book in his memory, celebrating Taylan’s wonderful imagination while raising vital funds for Brain Tumour Research. A beautiful legacy filled with adventure, love and a little boy’s magic.
