School Homework Box
Keep a box of essential things in the event your child leaves something at school which may result in them not being able complete any homework. 

Things to include in your box:  small scissors, glue stick, eraser, pencil sharpener, rulers, colouring in pencils etc. Ideally when buying school supplies for them just purchase an additional set for home, this way colouring pencils will be the same  and no coloru variations between brands.  Mini self adhesive personalised name stickers are ideal for naming small items, such as pens, pencils etc.  Remeber to labels each set and why not peronalise the home set with a label say "home".

Keep a supply of ink cartridges, writing pencils in the event that children misplace them and need a replacement for the f ollowing day.  Remember to stock up when getting low.

Present Box
Keep a ready supply of suitable presents for children with a mix mixute of male and femal presents - the high street stores have sales during the year and this ia great time to stock up.

For older children, a supply of  vouchers from high street store make a great present and suitable for all ages.

Purchase the gum shield with  the hook at the top of the case and thread an old shoelace through this and the other end loop around the shoe/boot bag.  Children will always know there the gum shield is.  Even if you buy the dentist gum shields that comewith the hook case,  it worth spending a few pounds on the less expensive shields as a stand by.
