Starting school is a unique event that moves children, parents, grandparents, and sponsors alike. For the schoolchild, this day marks the beginning of a new phase in life: the end of kindergarten and the start of school. They eagerly await the first bell, the start of school, their first classroom, new friendships—and, of course, the school cone.

This central element – ​​also called a "sweet cone" – is a must-have for any back-to-school celebration. Today, school cones are available in fabric, sturdy cardboard, with colorful motifs like unicorns or dinosaurs, classic or modern, printed with a child's name or lovingly embroidered. But as beautiful as the exterior design may be, the most important thing is and remains the contents. The things that fill the school cone should make the start easier for the child, bring joy, and ideally also have lasting value.

For many children, starting school marks their first step toward independence . To celebrate this special moment, choosing the right back-to-school gifts plays a crucial role. In addition to useful school supplies, more emphasis is being placed on personalized gifts that will be remembered forever .

What should be in the school cone? Gift ideas for boys and girls

The lovingly designed school cone—also called a "sweet cone"—is an integral part of the first-day school celebration. Whether colorfully printed, featuring a unicorn, astronaut, or classic ABC motifs—it's always unique, just like the schoolchild carrying it. But what exactly should go inside?

In addition to sweets, it's especially small gifts that bring joy to children and at the same time have a connection to school. Popular ones include:

• A drinking bottle and lunch box with the name of the proud owner – practical for the new everyday life.
• A personalized wooden ruler or pencil printed with the child's name.
• Mugs with your favorite motif or colorful bookmarks that motivate you to read.
• A beautiful timetable as a poster or a personalized certificate folder.

These items fit perfectly in school cones and often accompany children throughout the entire school year. It's important to note that the perfect back-to-school gift should be thoughtfully selected, lovingly chosen, and ideally personalized with a name. This creates an unforgettable experience and a gift with real sentimental value.
