Personalized Supplies to Make Kids Excited for School
Share
Let’s face it. Getting kids excited for school can be a bit of a challenge. Especially when summer fun is still in full swing.
But here’s a little secret: kids love things with their name on them. Actually, you probably knew that already, right?
So, add a personal touch to their school supplies, and suddenly pencils, notebooks, and backpacks feel a lot more exciting.
Here are a few ideas for personalized supplies that can help your child start the school year with a smile and maybe even a little extra motivation.
1. Custom Name Tags and Labels
From lunch boxes to water bottles to that one pencil they’re sure to lose by week two—custom name tags help keep everything in place. Even better, kids love seeing their name (or nickname) on their stuff. It’s like having their own mini brand.
Bonus tip: If you can, choose fun fonts or colors that match their personality. Suddenly “back to school” feels a lot more personal.
2. Personalized Pencil Pouches and Backpacks
A plain backpack? That’s just not exciting.
A backpack with their name, favorite animal, or a custom design? That’s something they’ll want to show off.
While Papasonn’s doesn’t carry backpacks (yet*), personalized home items like pillows or wall art can still add fun to homework spaces, creating a cozy spot that feels just for them.

3. Custom Water Bottles and Snack Containers
Kids need hydration, but they also need to know which water bottle is theirs. Personalized drinkware isn’t just cute—it’s practical. Add their name or a fun design, and it’s one less thing to lose in the lunchroom.

4. Personalized Decor for Their Study Space
Help your child get into the school groove with a personalized pillow, wall print, or even a small custom tray for organizing supplies. It makes homework time feel a little more fun and a lot more “theirs.”
Papasonn’s personalized home decor can help create the perfect cozy corner for studying, crafting, or daydreaming about recess.
5. A Back-to-School Gift That Marks the Moment
The first day of school is a big deal, whether it’s their very first day ever or just the first day of a brand-new grade. Why not make it extra memorable?
The First Day of School Pillow from Papasonn’s is designed for exactly that. Kids can hold it for that classic first-day photo, and you can personalize it with their name, grade, and year. It’s part keepsake, part cozy comfort, and 100% made for making memories.
After picture day, it’s great for their reading nook or bed, reminding them just how far they’ve come each time a new school year begins.
Make School Feel Special—One Personal Touch at a Time
Personalized supplies may seem like small things, but for kids, they can make a big difference. It’s about ownership, excitement, and starting the year with confidence—and a smile.
