Personal gift ideas for the first day of school

The best gifts tell a story. A few ideas that don’t take much effort:

A tag for the school bag: with their name or a small symbol that reminds your child of home.
The first-day-of-school photo: printed and framed – or as the start of a small album that grows with every school year.
A letter for later: write down what moves you on this day and give it to your child at the end of primary school.
Time together: a trip just the two of you on the weekend after the first day of school.

Gifts like these cost little but stay in your memory for a long time.

A cap of their own for starting school

A gift that comes along every day: a cap of their own for the way to school, recess and class trips. It protects from the sun, fits nicely into the school cone – and your child gets to choose the color and style.

It gets even more personal with a matching look: in our sets of 2, mom or dad gets an ADULT cap and the schoolkid a KIDS cap in the identical style. The set says it without words: we belong together, even if you’re now going your own way.

School start gift ideas with meaning

Starting school brings lots of new things: a new routine, new friendships, lots of impressions. That’s exactly when something familiar feels good. A matching-look gift for the first day of school combines both – your child goes their own way and still carries a piece of family with them. We’ve gathered all ideas in our collection School start gifts.

Our caps come as snapback, trucker, sports, performance and dad hat. For schoolkids, size KIDS L is usually the right one. You’ll find all models under caps for kids from 2 years (KIDS L) and in our overview Kids caps & beanies.

Which size fits a schoolkid?

According to our size chart, KIDS L is designed for a head circumference of 49–54 cm (snapback and performance caps; 48–53 cm for trucker, sports and dad hat). The ADULT cap is one size and, depending on the style, fits approx. 55–60 cm (snapback, performance) or 54–60 cm (trucker, sports, dad hat). If your child’s head circumference is already at the upper end of KIDS L, it’s worth looking at both sizes. The safest way is to measure first – we show you how in our article Measuring kids’ head circumference.

For autumn and winter: matching beanies

The first weeks of school often fall in late summer, but autumn comes quickly. If you’d rather give something for the colder days, choose a beanie with a turn-up brim. The kids beanies are available on their own or as a set of 2 with an ADULT beanie in the identical style.

School start gifts from grandparents and godparents

Grandma, grandpa and godparents are often looking for a gift that’s more than just another toy. One idea: the grandparents give the matching set, and the schoolkid wears the cap together with mom or dad – or with the godparent. How lovely a shared look is in photos, we show in our article Mini-me look for parents and kids.

Gifts for siblings and the whole family

The schoolkid has siblings who shouldn’t miss out? With our sets of 3 of one ADULT cap and two KIDS caps, everyone is included – a lovely motif for the family photo on the first day of school.
