Mark their big moment with our My 1st Day certificate – a sweet keepsake for celebrating one of life’s first big adventures. Whether it’s nursery, school, or somewhere new, this gorgeous keepsake has space to fill in their name, the date, and who it’s from – perfect for tucking into a memory box when the celebration is over. With a heartwarming message "Congratulations on your first day – you make me so proud" and surrounded by cheerful ABC blocks, numbers, books, and a shiny apple, it’s as joyful as they are in their little uniform. A sentimental touch for parents, grandparents or carers who want to remember that special 'first' forever.
A little mug to say thank you for teaching me so much! It’s the perfect way to say thanks to the teacher who’s made all the difference. Decorated with a rainbow of colourful stars (plus a few smiley ones too!), this cheerful mug features the heartfelt phrase “It takes a big heart to help shape little minds” on one side, and your personalised message on the other: “And [Name]’s heart is as big as they come”. With a pop of blue on the inside and a whole lot of meaning on the outside, it’s a daily reminder of just how appreciated they are. Personalise it for a special teacher, TA or nursery star as a sweet end-of-term thank you gift.
For the teacher/assistant teacher who somehow fits everything (except maybe an endless supply of glue sticks!) into their day – and their bag. This boxy-shaped tote is the ultimate classroom companion, roomy enough for all the books, folders and bits they cart around. Covered in ditsy polka dots and sweet stationery doodles (think pencils, an eraser and sharpenings), it features the bold phrase “Everything I need” with a cheeky follow-up underneath: “Except an endless supply of glue sticks.” Finished with their name printed at the bottom, it’s practical, personal and a sweet way to say thank you for teaching me so much this year,
A little thank you for a lot of knowledge – this personalised teacher keyring is the sweetest way to show how much they mean. Made from soft white faux leather and trimmed with colourful stars all around the edge, it’s bright, cheerful and made to brighten up every day. On the front, the words “[Name], thank you for helping me shine!” say it all – a lovely little reminder of the difference they’ve made – whether it’s A,B,Cs, 1,2,3s or something super smart. Finished with a shiny gold clip, it’s perfect for adding to keys, bags or lanyards. Whether it’s for a favourite teacher, TA or nursery hero, it’s a thoughtful end-of-term gift that’ll make them smile every time they reach for it.
Say a big, smiley thank you with a card that’s as bright and brilliant as they are! Our thank you teacher card is bursting with joy – think colourful smiley faces, a glowing sunshine and a sweet message that reads “Thank you for helping me to shine!”. It’s the perfect way to celebrate those amazing teachers, teaching assistants or nursery stars who’ve gone the extra mile. Inside, there’s plenty of space to add your own special thank you message – whether it’s showing off the handwriting they’ve taught or just a meaningful message.
Celebrate those big first-day feelings with our personalised first day of… whiteboard. This cute and cheerful keepsake is made to capture every special detail of your little one’s big milestone, and can be reused every year. Simply snap a photo to remember the moment every year. At the top, the board is personalised with "[Name]’s First Day of…" and includes space to write their school year or nursery name, making it perfect for any stage of their learning journey. With dedicated spaces to note their age, height, teacher’s name, what they want to be when they grow up, the date, and all the things they love, it’s a fun way to mark how much they’ve grown and changed. The design is finished with a border of rainbow-coloured dashes, playful starry scatters, and a sweet apple illustration for that classic first-day charm. Just personalise it for your curious little learner.
Are they going to school or nursery for the very first time? Them first days can feel a little bit scary – but this cuddly koala is here to give them a squeeze of courage!
