FAQ about gifts for starting daycare

What do you give for starting daycare?

Something familiar that makes saying goodbye in the morning easier: a cap in the same look as mom or dad. In the daycare yard it also protects from the sun.

What size does my daycare kid need?

KIDS M fits toddlers from approx. 1–2 years, KIDS L fits kids from approx. 2 years. You'll find the measurements in the size chart.

Should I label the cap for daycare?

That's a good idea if there are several similar caps in the group – for example with a small name label on the inside.

What fits if daycare starts in winter?

The beanies set of 2: an ADULT and a KIDS beanie in the identical style, OEKO-TEX® 100 certified.

Is this also a gift from grandma, grandpa or the godparents?

Yes. A matching set includes the parents and is worn together on weekends, on vacation and on outings.

Can I return the gift?

Yes, you have a 30-day right of return: within 30 days of purchase you can return the items if the size or color isn't right. A direct exchange isn't possible – simply order the right size or color again.

How do I clean the caps?

Please hand wash only with lukewarm water, never in the washing machine, and let them air dry.

A gift for starting daycare or kindergarten: a piece of home

Starting daycare brings lots of firsts: the first goodbye in the morning, new faces, new routines. Small, familiar things can make this transition easier. A cap in the same look as mom or dad is such a companion – it stands for closeness, especially when you're starting to go separate ways during the day. It's practical too: while playing in the daycare yard, the cap protects from the sun. And when mom or dad wear the same cap at pick-up, the reunion is twice as sweet.
