There’s something about this time of year that brings a quiet shift. Even if you're not the one packing a bag or setting off for freshers' week, the end of summer still feels like a new beginning. Maybe it’s the cooler mornings, or the return of a familiar routine.
At HAYM, we’re leaning into the season of fresh starts—whether it’s a first day at school, a new term at university, or a return to the office with a newly claimed desk drawer. We’ve pulled together a collection that covers all the little moments worth marking this August.
Stationery to set you up
Whether you're heading back to campus, setting up a study space at home, or just looking to upgrade your pencil case game, we’ve got plenty to choose from. Discover sleek pen sets, colour-pop pencil cases, and desk-friendly notebooks—all handpicked for their practicality and good looks.
Looking for something a little more sustainable? Our eco-friendly stationery includes pens made from recycled coffee beans and notebooks crafted using ocean waste—perfect for those who like their supplies with a story.
First day cards & good luck wishes
From tiny school starters to fully-fledged undergrads, that first day deserves a cheer-on. Our first day of school cards are a lovely way to send a boost of confidence—or dry a few proud parent tears. For students heading into big changes or waiting on those all-important results, our good luck and exam congrats cards help say what matters.
P.S. SQA results day lands on 5th August—whether it’s a high five, a hug in an envelope or a gentle nudge towards Plan B, we’ve got cards and gifts to help you mark the day thoughtfully.
Remind them of home
If someone you love is off to uni this autumn, tuck a little bit of Carnoustie into their suitcase. A print for their wall, a coaster for their cuppa, or a teatowel for all that self-catering—small touches that turn student digs into a second home. Add a Carnoustie keyring for keys to new places with roots in the familiar.
Want to send a little token of love and luck? Our Joma Jewellery bracelets with lucky charms and ceramic pocket tokens—small heart-shaped keepsakes—are perfect reminders that you’re thinking of them, ideal for care packages or final hugs at the train station.
Whatever this season of change looks like for you or your loved ones, we’re here to help you mark the moment. Pop in to browse or visit www.haym.co.uk to shop the full back-to-school edit.
