    Sorry but an image conscious teen does not want a backpack covered in homemade squiggles made by a parent. He will get ridiculed by his peers. If they decide to scrawl on it, that's a different matter! money wasted if you ruin it and he won't use it!

    I'm another one who thinks leave alone. My 10yo DD, still at Primary school you could stick pink sparkly bling all over and she'd adore it. Teen I wouldn't dare. Apparently taken his forgotten sports kit to him on sports day in a Minecon bag was not the done thing.
