Back to school! (After the holidays, of course!)


The holidays are upon us, and soon it will be time to think about the kids going back to school next year! Can you believe how the past year has flown? I’ve hardly recovered from last year’s Christmas shopping and here we go again!

Making the transition from holidays to back-to-school takes some doing, but all you need is to be organised to help ease your child seamlessly back into school and to manage your own stress. Get your shopping done early, and what’s easier than shopping on-line from the comfort of your chair? You might think it's far too soon to think about back-to-school things, but when shopping on-line, keep delivery times in mind and with only 4 - 6 weeks lying ahead before the new term starts, it's not too soon at all. RedBubble has plenty to offer for school kids - from clothing to bags to stationery, you’ll find something of everything in my portfolio.

Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and maybe even a new school. Luckily, these "new" worries only stick around for a little while and sporting a brand new school drawstring bag or laptop sleeve goes a long way to creating some excitement on the first day.

Stand out from the crowd with a brand new Drawstring bag. These 15.5” x 19.5” bags are large enough for books, a pair of sneakers, some sandwiches and even the spare wheel of your bike! lol!


Organise your life and keep track of all the kids’ and your activities with a unique calendar of beautiful artworks, each of which can be framed separately once the year is finished. Highlight family activities and everyone's major commitments. This helps make planning easier, while pinpointing conflicts. RedBubble calendars are printed using marvellous futuristic technologies, so complex I can’t go into them here, but I can tell you they are lovingly printed on a luscious 200gsm satin art paper at the striking size of A3 (that’s 297×420mm, or 11.69×16.54″). They also have very handy wire binding so you can hang them from things like ‘hooks’ on exciting places like ‘walls’!

You can view all my calendars here.


Keep laptops safe, clean and protected with one of these lovely Laptop Sleeves. The small ones (12") are also ideal for tablets and the medium and large are excellent for papers, files and documents.


Studio pouches are ideal for pens and pencils, rulers, erasers, your cell phone (the large one comfortably takes a tablet), even a sami or two! And for the ladies they make perfect evening or day-time clutch bags.


Tote bags are perfect for toting books, tablets, phones, laptops, sandwiches and your swimming costume. These bags have the selected design printed on both sides and come in three sizes - Small 13"x13", Medium 16"x16" and Large 18"x18".


RedBubble's Spiral Notebooks and Hardcover Journals make it easy to keep track of homework assignments and other appointments, jotting down quick notes or making sketches. They're small enough to fit into studio pouches and any of the bags and are beautifully printed with a unique piece of artwork.


I also have a selection of iPad, Laptop, iPhone and Galaxy phone cases and skins available to personalise and beautify your gadget of preference, so be sure to pop over and have a look!
