Bright Eco-friendly Back To School Ideas

Back to School just got brighter and eco-conscious! Choosing items from our colourful range means choosing to be bold and sustainable while supporting small business, the local economy and promoting a greener future all at the same time. Here's a selection of bright and colourful neon-inspired back to school ideas youngsters will absolutely love!


All Neonimo products are designed by Namalee in her London studio, and handmade in one facility in the UK by trained craftspeople using sustainability focused practices. We make everything when ordered, meaning we don't make anything beyond what's needed and that creates less waste in the world. Plus it also means not many people will have these, making them unique gift ideas or products to own!

Neonimo's sustainability focus

Neonimo operates a made to order (MTO) model: MTO means we only start making item(s) once an order is placed. This means we hold no stock, nor do we produce products beyond need helping to fight against creating unnecessary waste on our planet. Other eco-concious practices at Neonimo include the highlights below:


– We use FSC certified paper materials⁠ and use very little water in our manufacturing process⁠.

– Our Eco Collection is made from OEKO-TEX® standard 100% recycled fabric and GOTS standard Organic Cotton.

– We use plant-based vegan wax and recycled glass jars for our candle jar collection.

– We keep our shipping costs and carbon emissions low because everything is made in one facility in the UK.

– We reduce waste by offering fabric remnants free to local crafters and DIY-ers. ⁠

About Neonimo

Hi, I'm Namalee, designer and owner of Neonimo. I live in London with my partner and accident-prone rescue cat, PoPo, who looks a bit like a panda. PoPo is also my studio hand and 'Wellbeing Manager' at Neonimo.


Neonimo is inspired by neon lights and my aim is to inject sass and colour into every day life with my prints, gifts and décor. I’ve lived in 3 of the 7 continents (Sri Lanka, NZ & Australia and now the UK) and was born in another (Nigeria), so it's safe to say that I also get inspiration from the world in general! In particular, I love local sayings and phraseology, and idioms fascinate me. I like incorporating these in my designs and having some fun with them. The neon-inspired aesthetic really brings them to life and gives them that wow factor.


Neonimo's vision is to reduce landfill through responsible end-to-end production using sustainability-conscious materials and practices to give customers eco-friendly products to make purchase decisions that are better for the planet.
