Cute animal gel pens with erasable ink to collect and fun illusion pens which look like ice pops, cactus or watermelon - all with little fun messages on.
Legami Milano pens
Sturdy and roomy pencil cases in lots of different colourways. With matching bags and accessories.

Until I found the Hype drawstring bags with their taped seams, I was forever repairing frayed seams and gaping holes in PE bags.

Gadgets
Kids cart around a lot of tech nowadays, these are handy gadgets to have
This is a neat little gadget that folds up nice and small, but has all the connecting ends you could need. A great bit of kit for when you need to charge on the go and there are no long, messy cables to get tangled up.
Krafted Connex - Hardware Review
Satisfyingly chunky and super powerful. We have been through a lot of power banks and this is the best one we have tried so far. Also looks pretty cool and has a handy digital display.
