I'm usually pretty last minute with this sort of thing, but I have gotten a head start on at least part of it: personalized name labels!
For those of you don't have kids in school yet, labels are a must because you have to put your kids' names on basically everything they take there. Cups, clothes, lunchboxes backpacks--everything needs a name. Sure, you could just scribble them on there with a Sharpie, but labels are way quicker, easier, and of course, cuter.
This year, I went for Minted's customizable name labels and they are adorable. (I've used Minted before--most recently for our holiday cards and my daughter's Valentines--and the quality is always excellent.) There are tons of different sizes, lots of great designs for both boys and girls, they're waterproof and dishwasher-safe, and you can even get many of them personalized with a photo.
I chose two different designs--and two different sizes--for each kid. For my daughter, I got these mermaid labels and this pencil design. For my son, we did large construction-vehicle labels and this cute lion. (BTW, all of these come in different color options, too.) I even had my phone number printed on some of the designs, which is a smart option I hadn't ever really seen anywhere else.
So, labels are done! Now it's time to actually do some back-to-school shopping so that I have some things to stick them on. ;)
Do you guys go the label route with your kids' stuff? Also, when do your kids go back to school? Mine don't go back until mid September, but I still can't believe it's so soon. SUMMER, DON'T LEAVE ME!
**Update! Just realized that Minted is having a sale right now! You can get 15% off back to school stuff including the personalized labels. Use code SCHOOL15.
Disclosure: Minted provided me with complimentary labels for review consideration, but I was not compensated for this post.

Am I too old for these? Sigh.
Those are really great. We need to get them for our lunches.
I had no idea Minted made labels. These are so cute! I think I need to order a bunch bc my daughter is going into kindergarten (gasp!) in one month!
Minted, and a sale?! Heading over there now. I need new ones for both my boys (my daughter lucked out and scored a ton from my sister in law for her birthday)
These are cute! Plus, since they're on sale and all :) I need some new canning labels. Thanks for the heads up!
These are great!! My kids aren't in school yet, but this is a fantastic idea I'll need to remember!!
Those are really cute labels. Our kids would love them. I love that they are dishwasher safe!
Oh these are so cute! I love Minted too. We use them for our holiday cards too and they always turn out great.
I totally dropped the ball on this one. I was using tape because I'd forgotten all about labels. I'm going to order them now for next year! :)
