Tiger Stores and its vast array of cool and affordable notebooks, sketchbooks and covetable notelets is already on the radar of any serious stationeryphile. They include pocket-side prizes that will help introduce kids to the concept of the three R’s: reading, writing and ’rithmetic, as well as the dreaded homework. They cost €2 each. And the cute and colourful bear erasers will inspire them to experiment (also €2, tiger-stores.ie).
Or make a statement at school with this talking-point squirrel sharpener, which costs about €18, from UK-based Oak Room; a great gift for any kids attending school for the first time (oakroomshop.co.uk).
