Winner:GOLD Best Children's Stationery Brand / Product

Who:Festive Fingerprints

What:Fingerprint Card Kits

Why:

Our judges loved this beautifully presented kit that allows kids to make the sweetest,
personalised Christmas cards and thank you letters with their own fingerprints taking centre stage. With easy-to-use coloured inks and pre-illustrated cards that children can add their own unique mark to, the panel felt this was a really wonderful way for children and families to sit down together and get creative, with fabulous results guaranteed.

Utterly charmed by this - adore the box!!!

What could be more personal or personalised than your own fingerprints?! These cards are so much fun for the family to make together.

Winner:JOINT SILVER Best Children's Stationery Brand / Product

Who:Little Green Vibes

What:100% Plastic Free Sticker & Colouring Birthday Cards

Why:

These eco-friendly ready-to-go birthday cards really impressed our judges who were excited to find a company taking great steps to remove all the plastic from kids’ greeting cards. With endless birthday parties on the school schedule, the panel could see how useful these cards would be to busy parents. The cards themselves are beautifully designed and come with stickers and colouring activities making it a mini gift in itself. There are also stickers for decorating the envelopes so that the giver can get creative.

Love a great find like this!

As the mother of a sticker fanatic, this really appeals to me! I love the cute designs and the fact that these cards and stickers are plastic free.

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior, @juniormagazineonline

Cards to stock up on and keep in your drawer for the inevitable slew of birthday parties! Perfect for anyone who’s always trying to get their kids to make a birthday card with one leg out the door.

Who:HappySelf Journal

What:Daily guided journals for children and teens

Why:

Our judges loved these thoughtfully designed journals, offering a range of daily guided affirmations, writing and doodling exercises to promote happiness and positive habits. The sunny yellow, vegan-friendly cover sets the tone for a brighter outlook and everyone agreed that the quirkily illustrated pages and written prompts would help to boost gratitude, emotional resilience and self-confidence.

This is very cleverly constructed. I can see how it would really help anyone struggling with transitions or change in life. I like that it’s worded accessibly and doesn’t seem too high pressure.

When kids are having a tricky time, these books are great for helping them find a new perspective and take a break from social media.

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior, @juniormagazineonline

Such a great tool for kids and parents when life gets a little overwhelming - which it so often does.
