The summer holidays are here, but soon it will be time to swap beach bags for backpacks - ready for back-to-school season! Whether your little one is heading to nursery, big school, or a brand new classroom, having the right essentials can make mornings smoother, lunchtimes healthier, and school days more enjoyable (for kids and parents alike).
At Citron, we believe every school day should be a little more organised, a lot more stylish, and totally practical. Here’s our ultimate checklist for back-to-school must-haves that make all the difference:
1. A sturdy, stylish backpack
The hero of any school morning! Look for a backpack that’s lightweight, spacious, and designed to fit little shoulders comfortably. Bonus points for adjustable straps, handy pockets, and a design they’ll love to show off in the playground.
Citron Tip: Our backpacks come in a range of fun, bold prints and sizes for every age - so whether it’s their first day at nursery or they’re off to Year 6, there’s one they’ll be excited to carry.
2. An eco-friendly lunchbox
Keep lunchtime fresh and waste-free with a reusable lunchbox. Choose one with multiple compartments to keep different snacks separated and tasty until the lunch bell rings.
Citron Tip: Our leak-proof lunch boxes are parent-approved for a reason - easy to open, easy to clean, and perfect for packing balanced meals (even picky eaters love them!).
3. A reliable water bottle
Staying hydrated during the school day is so important. Pick a bottle that’s durable, easy to sip from, and just the right size for their bag.
Citron Tip: Our stainless steel bottles keep drinks cool for 24 hours and warm for up to 12 and comes with kid-friendly lids and straws. No spills, no fuss - just fresh water all day long.
