❓ Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start back-to-school shopping?
Mid-July for the best selection and prices. August has the biggest sales but popular items sell out. Buy basics early and let kids choose fun accessories closer to the first day for maximum excitement.
What back-to-school gifts help with school anxiety?
A comfort item for their backpack (small stuffed animal, family photo keychain), a journal for writing feelings, a friendship bracelet to share with a buddy, or a "brave" charm all provide emotional support during transitions.
