If your little one is looking for a perfectly coordinated ensemble for the school year, Babyshop has put together some stylish and well-designed value packs from Tom & Jerry, Smurfs, Transformers, Lalaupskey and Tweety. Including a selection of five different school must-haves, the value packs start at AED129.

With so much to choose from, Babyshop’s experts give you some tips to ensure you shop smart and shop right before your kids go back to school:

1.    Start the year on a positive note: Look into what your kids have outgrown or won’t need and pick a charity you’d like to help. Ensure your child feels a part of this activity.
2.    Get down to the detail: Prepare a check-list of the essentials you need and the little additional items you think your kids might want. Make sure the school hasn’t already prescribed a list.
3.    Stick to your list and to your budget: Try not to get swayed with so many available choices. 
4.    Take your little one on your shopping trip: What they liked last year may not be the trend this year. They’re pickier than you think!
5.    Don’t forget the little items like pens or pencils, erasers, book covers, socks, shoe laces so you don’t have to make multiple trips to the store. 

Stylish, safe and functional, Babyshop’s ‘Back to School’ range is sure to make your kids look forward to the new school year. The collection is available across all 42 Babyshop stores in the UAE, as well as Centrepoint outlets.
