Little learners will take on the classroom in roar-some style thanks to our personalised dinosaur book bag. It’s made in a smart stone shade with navy edging and brought to life with a playful parade of dinosaurs. With a roomy inner, this book bag is just the thing for carrying daily school essentials like books and pens. A Velcro flap will keep storybooks, drawings and important letters safe, while the sturdy top handle is perfect for little hands. On the back, you’ll find a special name and class tab too – so there’s no mix-ups in the classroom. Personalise the front, fold-over flap with their name to make it all theirs.
We’ve created the dreamiest little backpack for your mini adventurer! Our personalised pink butterfly mini backpack is sprinkled with the prettiest woodland mushrooms, fluttering butterflies and ditsy wildflowers – because your curious little tots love to explore nature’s treasures. It’s made from soft yet sturdy pink cord and designed with comfy adjustable straps and easy-grab handles, perfect for tiny hands on the go. The roomy zip-up compartment and handy front slip pocket are ideal for stashing snacks, toys or little treasures found along the way. Add their name to the front for a magical touch they can show off from pre-school to playdates.
Promising to be by their side (or should we say behind their back) on every adventure, it’s our personalised sage green striped backpack. In a calming sage hue with clean white stripe detailing and a soft block-colour front pocket, this backpack keeps things simple, stylish and ready for anything. Thoughtfully designed for little shoulders, it features adjustable padded straps, a grab-and-go top handle, and a roomy main compartment to carry all their daily must-haves. The front pocket is ideal for smaller treasures or snack time bites, while the reflective strip adds a touch of safety for those early morning starts or dusky walk-home moments. But the best bit of all? Their name taking centre stage on the front.
Let their everyday adventures begin with our personalised safari friends backpack. Made in a soft, neutral-toned palette with gentle pops of earthy colour, this backpack is brought to life with a hand-drawn-style parade of safari favourites – think roar-some lions, gentle giraffes, curious crocs and more, all nestled among soft trees. This backpack has been thoughtfully sized for smaller shoulders, featuring comfy adjustable straps, a handy top handle, and a front pocket for storing their tiniest treasures. The roomy main compartment is ideal for everything from books to snacks – whatever their next adventure calls for. Top it all off with their name embroidered right on the front to make it uniquely theirs.
You’re little one will be frilled with this backpack. Our pink striped design is the sweetest little sidekick for every big adventure! With soft pink candy-striped details, a sprinkle of charm and oh so cute frills on the adjustable straps, this backpack is all dressed up and ready to go. It’s made for days filled with giggles and garden games, with just enough space to tuck in all their tiny treasures – from snack time favourites to their most-loved cuddly toy. The front pocket is perfect for secret stashes, while the scalloped reflective detail makes sure they’ll be seen in the dark. What makes it even more magical? Their name, beautifully embroidered on the front in a rainbow of cheerful colours.
Let your little one carry a touch of petal power wherever they go with our personalised sage floral backpack. Dusted in the softest sage green and sprinkled with delicate blooms in blush pinks and creamy whites, this bag is a little garden they can take on every adventure. Thoughtful pink-toned details – from the top handle to the mesh bottle holder – add a pop of blush. It’s perfectly sized for tiny shoulders and busy days, with plenty of room to hold everything from storybooks and scribbles to favourite toys. Down below, there’s a hidden insulated pocket – ideal for keeping lunch or little treats fresh and ready when hunger calls. A handy side mesh pouch holds their water bottle snug, while the adjustable straps ensure a comfy fit whether they’re skipping into nursery or heading off for a picnic in the park. Best of all? You can personalise it with their name right on the front, for a little everyday magic.
For lunchtimes that roar with excitement, look to our personalised big cat lunch box – made perfectly for little adventurers with big appetites. Across the lid, you’ll find a trio of majestic friends – a lion, tiger and cheetah – all hand-sketched in contrast dark grey outlines, prowling across a background dusted with soft grey stars. Made from sturdy, long-lasting plastic, this lunch box is built to keep up with even the most energetic explorers. The four secure side clips make sure everything stays sealed and fresh, while the roomy interior has plenty of space for whatever they love to lunch on the most. Best of all? Their name takes pride of place on the lid, making it well and truly their own.
Turn everyday refreshments into a starry safari adventure with our personalised grey lion water bottle. With its soft grey tones and minimalist charm, this bottle features a gentle line-drawn lion, surrounded by a sprinkle of pale grey stars – a lovely scene that’s sure to capture their imagination. It’s made from durable Stainless steel - Grade 18/8, with a screw-on lid that comes complete with a flip-up straw for easy drinking. Plus a carry handle that’s made for little hands to grab and go, wherever they scurry. Add their name for a thoughtful, practical gift that’s oh so sweet, wonderfully wild and always theirs.
Lunchtime just got a little wilder and a whole lot cuter with our personalised safari scene lunch box. Set against a soft pink and white backdrop, this dreamy design brings the savannah to snack time, featuring a leaping cheetah under, a flower-crowned croc lounging in style and fluttering butterflies adding a touch of magic to the tree-finished scene. Built for adventure (and hungry appetites), the sturdy lunch box is made from durable plastic with strong side clips to keep everything sealed tight. Inside, there’s plenty of space to pack a lunch fit for a hungry adventurer. Best of all? Their name takes pride of place on the lid, because every explorer deserves their very own customised essentials.
