A gift for starting school and the first day of school

Starting school is a big step: a new routine, new challenges and lots of impressions. At the same time, closeness remains an important anchor. A matching gift for starting school combines both – your kid goes their own way and still carries a piece of family along. It's practical too: on the way to school, at recess and on class trips, the cap protects from the sun. And because schoolkids develop their own style, they can pick the color themselves.
