Back to School, Back to Reality with Netflorist!

Next week is back to school after a long summer holiday here in South Africa. The kids are chomping at the bit to get back into routine and I have found the MOST amazing personalised school goodies at Netflorist!

Netflorist, in collaboration with Mattel and Nickelodeon, is offering consumers a personalised range helping parents ensure that their children are set to start their first day on an exciting note. Products feature cartoon themes like; Barbie, Dora the Explorer, Hello Kitty, Hot Wheels, Mr Men and Little Miss, Paw Patrol and SpongeBob. The products include; personalised backpacks, water bottles, lunch boxes, notebooks, mousepads, t-shirts and more.

So in the spirit of celebrating the new school year, here is a sneak peak of what Netflorist is offering!

Since we homeschool, most of the goodies Netflorist is offering isn’t really relevant to us. However, the Tablet Sleeves are absolutely to die for! Here are each of my kidlet’s top pics (click on the image to order):

Noo (he would probably choose a basketball image to put on there)

Koko (my typical gamer)

Fifi (she’s absolutely obsessed with flamingos at the moment and this one is, secretly, my favourite)

Pixie (to match her lunchbox she got last year)

I absolutely adore the lunch boxes the kidlets got last year and while looking at the tablet sleeves, I discovered they do personalised stationery as well! I’ve always been a sucker for pretty and unique notebooks and Netflorist has ticked all my boxes.

I will be ordering Fifi’s 11th birthday gift from them this year too! Now I just need to decide which flamingo goodie (or goodies, LOL) I want to order. Which Flamingo gift is your favourite, I’d love your input!

This is a subject I have never been comfortable. I am by no means an artist. This curriculum forms part of the work we’ll be doing next year. I’m quite excited to get started on it with the kidlets.
