If you’re a parent who’s steering clear of extravagant gifting this year, you’re probably on the lookout for practical presents that still bring the fun. Look no further than Mini Hippo.
More and more parents are adopting the ‘four gift rule’ at Christmastime, pledging to give their children something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read.
But finding a present your kids need often comes at a price – it may be useful, but it’s seriously boring.
Thankfully, Mini Hippo’s collection of stylish, practical school supplies are anything but. Here are the gifts that will bring the fun and the function this Christmas.
Petit Monkey
Oozing Dutch style and retro nostalgia, we’re going to be the first to say that Petit Monkey backpacks have the potential to reach cult status. Whether you prefer to keep it simple with complementary stripes (in gorgeous 70s hues) or go all out with hand-drawn illustrations by international artists, Petit Monkey has something for everyone.

Yumbox
Nothing has revolutionised lunchtime quite like the Yumbox. The internationally-renowned bento-style lunchbox comes in a range of sizes – from the Tapas for big appetites to the crunch’n’sip-friendly Minisnack – and delicious colours. Parents’ biggest complaint? They last too long, meaning they rarely have an excuse to pick up the latest releases!
