Which Colors to Choose

Red is energizing and exciting. Orange is believed to generate a feeling of self-confidence. Yellow is cheerful while green, pink and blue are considered calming colors. Keep in mind that it’s the bolder, brighter hues of the previously mentioned colors that tend to capture the interest of children.
Gift Ideas
Stephen Joseph Gifts such as backpacks, duffle bags and rolling suitcases are fantastic gifts for kids who need a way to carry personal items to daycare, school or camp. Colorful bags with designs that reflect their personality or interest are excellent gifts. You might even want to include some small gift items in the bag such as school supplies, a stuffed animal or some other type of toy, coloring books and crayons, clothing or kid’s travel accessories. For older kids and teens, duffle bags in a denim or camo print would be a more mature option. Attractive duffle bags can be used as stackable storage items in a child or teenager’s bedroom.
A Very Special Gift
Generally, children like to see their name on something. In their bedroom, a wall plaque, toy chest, coat rack or decorative accessories such as a piggy bank can be personalized with their name. Having their name on their backpack or duffle bag can make them feel special. It also makes it easy for them to identify their bag when it’s hanging among the many backpacks along the wall at daycare, school or summer camp.
It’s impossible to make every minute of every day cheerful for a child. There’s always going to be bumps in the road. However, you can bring a smile to their face and brighten their day when you give them a brilliantly colorful backpack or duffle bag to carry their belongings and supplies in.
