One review said: "Gift for my son going back to school - he loves it and has everything he needs. Helps him to stay organised with everything in one place."

The easy to see Create A Space See-Through Caddy is a lovely way to keep your little ones pencils and colours organised at home. They can move the caddy around using the easy to carry handle and will feel so grown up with this organiser.

Our writer said: "This caddy is really lovely and the clear container design makes it easy to locate stationary. My son keeps his on his desk in his room, but will bring it downstairs to the table if he wants to do his 'work' at the table. The coloured lids make the organiser a lot more fun too."

These Textsurfer Classic Pastel Highlighters are a great way for your child to use when writing. They're a more subtle colouring than normal highlighters, and they're also refillable.

One review said: "The main reason I those these over the Stabilo ones were because I find these to bleed a lot less. And in spite of being chunky they're easy to hold because of the groves at their sides. Also, it's quite smudge-proof against a lot of different inks."

The Barbie Pencil Case is a super fun design and comes with two compartments for all your childs back to school supplies. Younger children might not need everything that's in this pencil case, but they can be taken out and saved for later!

One review said: "Purchased for my daughter and she loves it. Fantastic quality and great selection of pens, pencils and other accessories such as rulers, scissors and pencil sharpener. Really good for primary and secondary school. Definitely recommend."

It's good to start the year with plenty of hair ties, as for some reason they just disappear! So these 50 pack of Elastic Hair Bands are a must. They're multicoloured too, so plenty of options for your child to choose from.

One review said: "These work great. I have quite thin hair and a lot of hair bands can easily get knotted round your hair. These are just the right thickness and have the correct stretchiness for wrapping it round a pony tail just the right amount of times for the right tightness."

There is nothing worse than sifting through the lost property pile trying to find your child's belongings. The age-old sniff test doesn't always work. The Stamptastic School Name Labels Basic Bundle makes it unbelievably easy to identity for your child's possessions.

One parent review said: "This is an amazing product, I used to use the iron on labels but my daughter used to peel them off in class and then things would get lost. I’ve only stamped about 10 items so far but they have all been washed and it’s stayed on without any ink loss. I’ve bought 2 for both of my girls."

With a press button to access the drinking spout, the Contigo Kids Water Bottle is one that you really want to invest in. Designed to be fully leak proof, this bottle can be tipped upside-down even with the spout open and not a drop of water leaks out. The parts inside the bottle also stay together to clean, to help prevent losing anything when washing up.

Writers review: "We go through so many water bottles in our house, if they're not constantly leaking we're losing the straws or they're breaking, but this water bottle has really changed things. My daughter tips it up and shakes it about but not a single drop of water leaves the bottle, which also means our bags are not getting soaked when out and about when the bottle accidentally tips over.

It is also incredibly easy to clean, and the straw stays attached to the bottle so we aren't constantly losing it. It is incredibly good value for money and I've definitely spent the same on three different bottles over the last few weeks, whereas this one has actually lasted."

With stainless steel utensils for little ones, the Bento Lunchbox is designed to fit small portions so your child can pick at whatever snacks you pack. It has five compartments for separating foods, and is beautifully designed and even has a practical carry handle!

Writers review: "It's really convenient having all my daughters foods in one place rather than having several different containers taking up space in the bag and a loose set of cutlery. It's super handy that the cutlery that comes with it can fit to the lid, and I'm not losing them! My daughter loves helping herself to the foods, and as the handle is on the opposite end to the close mechanism of the lunchbox, there's not accidentally catching it so that it opens!"

These cute Personalised Rainforest Animals Gym Bags can be personalised with your little ones names, so you don't need to worry about them losing it in the cloak room! It's also water resistant, so nothing inside will get wet.

One review said: "Perfect for my nephews first school PE bag. He was absolutely over the moon with it as he loves animals. Amazing quality and lovely touch with it being personalised. Would highly recommend. Can’t wait for my little ones to start school so I can order more."

Most schools do not allow brightly coloured socks as part of their uniform. These white, black, blue and grey socks are perfect for pairing with your little one's school uniform. Best bit? There are 12 pairs. Because we all know socks like to go walkies in the washing machine.

One reviewer said: "Not shopped around for price. But in terms of product it was perfect. Has good stretch for growing feet. Did not fray or fall apart at seems. Comfy for kids, has no bobbles. Looks like they will last."
