Just like that, the summer has flown by and school is about to be in session again…time to get the back to school essentials!
And yes, while that includes notepads, pens, and sticky notes, it also means a few self-care essentials to keep your loved ones feeling confident through the academic year.
From your mini-me’s to your teens, and even those you’re sending off to university, we’ve got everything you need to give them an inner glow they can carry for the whole year!
Find out about them all below.
For Your Mini-Me's
No matter what school year they’re entering, it can be daunting sending your kids off on their own. The young years are when they start to build their foundations, create their own personalities, and find their first friends.
But they’ll always be your babies - or your mini-me’s, if you will - so why not show them some extra love as they start their school career?
Let’s start out with some supplies they’ll need for every day.
Everyday Supplies
Whether you love or hate back-to-school shopping, there are a few must-have items that your kids will need when they start their next school year.
Lunchboxes, P.E. kits, and backpacks are all included here and while it’ll depend on school rules, there are tonnes of fun options out there.
Letting them choose their own lunchbox and backpack is a great way to encourage them to find what they like and give them a little piece of happiness in their everyday school life.
Now that you’ve got the everyday supplies sorted, it’s time for some self-care essentials to help your mini-me’s find their confidence.
Starting out with our Mini-Me Pamper Bag which we’ve packed full of child-friendly, sensory-friendly items to help them feel like part of the Give Me Family!

For Your Teens
We’re sure when you think back to high school it comes with lots of memories, the good and the bad!
This transition period between being a kid and becoming a young adult can be tough, but there are so many ways you can support your teens to have the best high school experience possible.
Classroom Essentials
From notebooks and pencil cases to pens and pencils, classroom essentials are needed at this time to ensure your teens have everything they need to get the most out of their experience.
Don’t forget about things like rulers to help them keep straight on their path and rubbers to remind them that it’s okay to make mistakes, it’s how we deal with them that counts! (These come in handy in the classroom too, of course.)
This time also signals a new journey to finding themselves and trying new things (obviously we mean new hairstyles and body duos!)
Give them a scent experience they can carry with them every day, one that reminds them of their inner confidence and helps them glow from within.
Our Caramel Vacay Body Duo and Botanical Breeze Body Duo are perfect for an on-the-go scent experience that is sure to set them up for a brilliant year.
To help them try out new hairstyles and trends, our Tangle Tamer Bundle is the ultimate way to encourage them to find their style and experiment!
For Your University-Goers
And of course, another big milestone, university. Maybe they’re moving across the country or just living alone for the first time in their own city.
Whatever it might be, it’s an exciting and scary time. They may not need your help getting ready for the year, but we know they’ll appreciate it.
Studying Staples
This is when the late-night study sessions and long lectures begin, so it’s important that they’re prepared!
Some studying staples they’ll need are sticky notes, planners, and even electronics like laptops, power banks, chargers, and external hard drives.
But it’s not all about studying, and the university experience is something they should also embrace.
Our Hairbrush Collection is a perfect gift to send them off with, and one they can share when it comes time to get ready for nights out with new friends and housemates.
We’re sure they’ll also be worried about their skin, on top of moving to a new place, meeting new people, and getting to grips with new courses, all of which can cause stress-induced breakouts.
Our AHA Glycolic Skin Tonic & Bamboo Pad Bundle is a handy gift to help keep their skin clear and fresh when dealing with a lot of new experiences all at once.
From essentials related to their studies to self-care essentials, show your loved ones that you’re there to support them as they enter new stages of their lives this year!
