Starting school is a very special moment for every child. On enrollment day, curious preschoolers transform into proud first-graders, eagerly anticipating this new phase of life. Starting school is not only exciting for the children themselves, but also a moving occasion for parents, grandparents, sponsors, and friends.

Traditionally, the school cone—also called a sugar cone—accompanies this special day. It symbolizes the beginning of school life and is brimming with little surprises meant to sweeten the first day and encourage children. Each school cone is unique and full of loving details that will brighten children's eyes .

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

But what exactly belongs in the school cone? Besides traditional sweets, it's especially important to include small gifts that are useful, lovingly selected, and personalized. Thoughtful and practical presents are especially popular with children preparing for their new school year. A beautiful back-to-school gift shows appreciation and supports children on their journey.

Here are a few gift ideas that are ideal as gifts for children and for the school cone:

• Lunch box with name: A lunch box personalized with a name creates excitement and helps ensure that nothing gets lost.
• Drinking bottle with your favorite motif like a unicorn, astronaut, or dinosaur - ideally personalized with your name.
• A personalized ruler or even a personalized wooden ruler is a beautiful symbol for the start of school.
• Mug with name or a printed poster with timetable and ABC motifs.
• Useful little things like a bookmark, an ABC memory game, or even personalized pencil boxes.

Individual school cones – e.g., school cones made of fabric – are also becoming increasingly popular because they are not only sustainable but also truly unique.

Parents and relatives looking for the perfect back-to-school gift usually want something more than just toys or sweets. A gift that will last, often with a personal message – and that's exactly where our products come in .
