Back to school with the latest accessories
While many families are still soaking up the sun or enjoying some well-earned time off at home, the back to school date is starting to get a bit too close. The summer holidays seem to fly by faster every year and each time we all make that promise to ourselves to be more organised before first day back arrives. Why not get ahead and start the shopping early to make sure your kids head back with a smile in the latest gear.
The list of things they need can seem endless but here at Elephant Yard we have got plenty of shops filled with all the must-haves to leave you top of the class when it comes to being super organised.
Accessories
At Claire’s they have got the coolest range of stationery, lunchware and backpacks that will definitely earn you a gold star. Here are three of our favourite essentials;
- Backpacks – kids have so much to carry each day to school so make sure they are walking to school in style. This Bright Tribal Print pack will certainly get you seen!
- Stationery sets – who says school work has to be boring? With a Smiley World Tropical Fruit set, which includes stickers, notebook, to do list notepad and pen, your kids will be rushing to do their homework.
- Snack Boxes – it’s hungry work going to school so keep them topped up with energy with their favourite snacks and goodies hiding away in these fun little Smiley World Snack Boxes.
Clothing
Children seem to grow non-stop and their uniform that fit perfectly well when they finished for the summer in July will no doubt now look like it’s two sizes too small! Thankfully Peacocks have got a fabulous deal on all schoolwear – buy one get one half price!
They have got all the essentials from jackets, jumpers, trousers and shoes and even backpacks and stationery. What more do you need to make going back to school fun? With such a great range to choose from your kids will have their outfits and accessories picked out in no time, leaving you all plenty of time to get back to enjoying the summer break and making the most of those last few lie ins.
Head down to Elephant Yard to find all the shops you need in one place to do the Back to School shop, and if it all gets too much then you can always pop in to Costa for some refreshments to get you going again.
