We only have a few weeks left of summer vacation before the new school year begins. I love finding back to school gifts for kids to give them on the first day of school. I usually like to find fun or unique school supplies that were not on the mandatory supplies list they got from school. It’s just a fun way to give them little treats as a first day of school gift. In case you too are looking for school gift ideas for your kid or grandkid, I made an easy idea list for you!
Here is a list of fun and unique back to school gifts for kids that they may really enjoy using during classes this year!

1. International Arrivals Tutti Frutti Gel Pens (132-16) – these scented pens are great for elementary school or middle school. I know I used to love scented markers as a little kid, so these are fun to start off a great year!
2. Rock ‘N Learn: Multiplication Rap – if you have a child in 3rd-5th grade, get them this educational DVD as the perfect way to learn multiplication facts by learning the rap song!
3. Eco Lips is deeply committed to making products with a socially-conscious impact. One of their signature products, Mongo Kiss, is actually made with Mongongo Oil that’s harvested by rural African women. So, when you purchase a tube, you’re giving them financial independence.
The Mongo Kiss peppermint flavored is now my all-time favorite lip balm. I’m a full lip balm addict, so I don’t say this lightly. 😉 These are wonderful to give to your kids to have at school – kids especially will love the variety of flavors off strawberry lavender, black cherry, blood orange, vanilla honey, pomegranate, Yumberry, and peppermint.
4. Tinksky Novely Bone Design Ballpiont Pens with back Ink for Artist, School, Etc.(Pack of 20) – these are fun for high school or college students who are taking biology to use one of these! (as a former biology teacher, I couldn’t help myself when adding these to the list. In fact, these would be the perfect school teacher gifts for any life science or biology teacher!

Now your kids may not view this as a back-to-school “gift” – but if this is a bonus to another gift you give them, they may still appreciate it. This pandemic is long from over, and we want our kids clean and healthy before they eat. Put these in their lunchbox and they can have clean hands before they eat! 🙂
