Starting school: Looking for a gift? Here you'll find creative ideas with added value.

The first day of school is an exciting event for children—marked by pride, curiosity, and a touch of nervousness. Between the school cone, the school bag, and new friendships, many families are faced with the question: What's a suitable gift for the first day of school that will bring joy and also offer real added value?

A thoughtful gift for starting school can be more than just a surprise. It accompanies the start of a new phase in life, playfully strengthens important skills, and creates lasting memories. At Filapen, you'll find creative, sustainable, and lovingly designed products that support children on their journey into school life—and are not only meaningful but also truly beautiful.

A big step for little people: Starting school as a milestone

When a child becomes a schoolchild, a lot changes—for the child themselves and for the entire family. Suddenly, starting school becomes the focus of everyday life: new paths, new rules, new experiences. This transition from the playful routine of kindergarten to the structured school year is far more than an organizational step. It's a true milestone in life.

For children, starting school means taking on responsibility, finding their way in a new environment, and laying important foundations for their future. For you as a parent, grandparent, or close caregiver, this moment is often associated with a mixture of pride and sadness. It's all the more rewarding to consciously plan this start and accompany it with small rituals, attention, and plenty of affection.

A lovingly chosen gift for the start of school can play a significant role. It shows: "I believe in you." It conveys courage, offers security, and reminds the child that they are not walking this new path alone. Especially when the present is not only beautiful to look at but also supports learning and growth. This turns a special day into an unforgettable, meaningful event—for the child and everyone who accompanies them.

A gift for starting school that brings joy – and is meaningful

Starting school is an exciting event—and the perfect moment for a gift that will bring a smile to children's faces while also offering them security and support. At Filapen, you'll find just such products: lovingly designed, with educational standards and a clear focus on sustainability.

What makes our gifts special:

• Meaningful use

  A gift should be fun – and at the same time, it should motivate learning. Our magical exercise books, for example, support writing preparation, improve fine motor skills, and help develop legible handwriting. They playfully promote skills that children really need in their everyday school life.

• Sustainable thinking

  Many of our products are reusable—and that's precisely what makes them a valuable alternative to conventional disposable items. The practice pages can be used multiple times, the pens are refillable, and our packaging is also designed to be environmentally friendly. So, you're not only giving with heart, but also with responsibility.

• Emotional value

  Children sense very clearly when something has been chosen with love. A gift for the start of school shows the child: "I'm here to support you on this big step." Especially when given by parents, grandparents, or close friends, it becomes a gift with lasting meaning—perhaps even a little lucky charm for the first day of school.

• Joy of learning

  Learning works best when it's associated with positive emotions. Our products, with their colorful designs, child-friendly motifs, and thoughtful tactile qualities, invite children to try them out. This way, starting school isn't just a chore, but an exciting start to a new phase of life.

One thing is always at the center: the joy of learning. Because a gift for the first day of school from Filapen shouldn't just please—it should accompany, motivate, and inspire. So, if you're looking for a gift that will last beyond the day, you'll find many lovingly selected options for boys and girls in our range.

Whether practical school supplies, creative learning games, or a personalized little something – with us, the start of school becomes something very special.

What no school cone should be without

For many children, the school cone is the emotional centerpiece of their first day of school. It's meant to surprise, delight, and encourage. Traditionally, it contains small, practical or simply adorable items—often with a touch of nostalgia and a whole lot of heart.

Particularly popular are, for example:

• sweets

  A small supply of sweets, fruit gums or chocolate ensures a radiant smile and is simply a part of everyday life for many people.

• Colored pencils and erasers

  Small school supplies in colorful designs are not only well received, but are also ready for immediate use.

• Paperbacks or first reading books

  A child-friendly story about school or friendship encourages reading and invites you to cuddle after an exciting day.

• Small toy or lucky charm

  A keychain, a mini-game, or a symbol of courage can give the child security – and stay with them for a long time.

• A personal card or message

  A few encouraging words from you – handwritten – make the school cone something very personal.

These lovingly selected contents form the basis – but anyone who would like to enrich the school cone with sustainable, well-thought-out learning materials will find many suitable additions at Filapen.

Valuable additions with educational added value

In addition to classics like sweets and toys, you can combine fun and learning with thoughtful products from Filapen. Our educational toys accompany children as they start school – not just on the first day, but for many weeks to come.

• Magical exercise books for the first learning steps

  Whether it's letters, numbers, or tracing exercises, our reusable notebooks are the ideal introduction to learning to write. They promote fine motor skills and concentration, and the magic ink makes them fun to use again and again.

• Refillable pens – child-friendly and durable

  The matching felt-tip pens for our notebooks are a must. Ergonomically shaped, easy to use, and equipped with refillable leads – perfect for small hands and big plans.

• Creative boxes for clever minds

  Sets with thematic learning content—for example, on spelling or strengthening handwriting—combine play and learning. Ideal for children who enjoy exploring, experimenting, and working independently.

• Personalized learning labels for a better overview

  Self-adhesive name labels help with labeling notebooks, pens, and school supplies. This way, nothing gets lost during the school day – and the child can identify their belongings at a glance.

• Additional little things with a personal touch

  Those looking for additional little surprises can choose things like a lovingly selected paperback, a hand-written card, or a handmade gift. These personal additions make the school cone especially unique.

With this mix, school enrollment gifts not only bring great joy, but also actively support the start of school. And that's exactly what matters: a gift that will be remembered – and truly helps in everyday life.

Starting school with heart and mind

When learning begins with joy, memories are created for life. Thoughtful back-to-school gifts give children orientation, foster important skills, and build their self-confidence. With lovingly selected ideas—whether traditional, creative, or educational—the transition to this new phase of life can not only be celebrated but also meaningfully shaped.
