With Christmas around the corner, parents across the globe are starting to think about what to buy their kids. I started my Christmas shopping at the beginning of the month and picked up some fab stocking fillers yesterday.
I like to buy our twins a variety of presents including toys, but also books, clothes, games and puzzles etc. I always buy them some new pyjamas, it’s sort of a Christmas tradition, along with a new decoration for the tree! It dawned on me a little while ago though, that now our twins have started school, they’ve started to show more of an interest in bags.
They have a toy shop in our living room so they’ve always played with bags. Using them to put their ‘shopping’ in or carrying their toys around in and playing grown ups etc, but now they’re in school they really do have a purpose!
Our girls are so very different. M loves the traditionally things such as princesses and the colour pink, whereas R is a bit more picky and opts for the more ‘boyish’ items. With this in mind I’ve put together a collage of my top ten must have bags for kids. Of course you can make the bags very personalised with Custom iron on patches.

From left to right:
Joules Shark Character Rucksack £24.95
Star Wars 3D Backpack £7.50
Disney Frozen Backpack £6.00
Moonsoon Pretty Polly Owl Rucksack £12.00
Joules Dinosaur Print Rucksack £29.95
Tulipop Fred Rucksack £39.00
Paw Patrol Chase and Friends Blue Backpack £7.50
Joules Small Floral Cat Rucksack £24.95
Moonsoon Woodland Fairy Satchel Rucksack £14.00
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Kids 3D Backpack £7.50
I think all of these bags are perfect for kids. They look pretty spacious and easy for children to carry themselves, plus the designs and prints are fashionable. The character backpacks such as the Disney Frozen one and the Paw Patrol one will always be a hit with kids!
Anything with their favourite TV show characters on is going to go down well! I must admit though I am rather partial to the Joules Small Floral Cat Rucksack! I think it’s super cute!
The Teenage Mutant Turtle Backpack is also a bargain at just £7.50, as is the Star Wars 3D backpack at the same price!
