Start the School Year Off in Style!

What signals the end of summer for you? For me, it’s when work vacations are just a fun memory, the days are getting shorter, there is a distinct chill in the air most evenings and we’re looking at the long relaxing lazy, hazy days of summer in our rear view mirrors.

But is not a totally sad time of the year. In fact, for the kiddos heading back to school, in many ways, the fall of the year signals a new beginning. New teachers, new classmates, and learning new things.

Hallmark carries a number of back-to-school accessories that are sure to brighten the beginning of a new school year for your favourite student!

A few of my favourites are:

Perfect for the older student to keep track of projects, assignment due dates, exams and other “must remember” items is a fun daily planners/agendas.

I love these cute designs and that little bulldog with the bow tie and glasses is adorable!

How about a daily journal for a student to write down all their thoughts, experiences, and observations throughout the year. What a great memory keeper and so much fun book to look back on some day in the future.

You can choose a larger style journal for the student to keep in his bedroom or a smaller journal perfect for a purse or backpack.

Students need to keep their home workspace organized and this fabulous little glass tray is perfect for holding pens, highlighters, paper clips and white out. And for dorm living, give it a wash and it doubles as a little serving plate.

For the younger students, how about a pair of fabulous socks to complete the perfect back to school outfit? Or a super cute peanuts glass for their morning juice or after school milk and cookies.
