If you're about to send a kid to summer camp, I don't have to tell you that labelling the belongings can turn into a massive chore. At S's camp, every article of clothing needs to be labelled, right down to socks and underwear. Not to mention towels, lunch bags, water shoes, etc. Last summer, I had ordered a classic camp pack ($34.50) from label-maker extraordinaire Mabel's Labels, which included 15 Sticky Labels, 8 Shoe Labels, 2 Bag Tags, and 50 Tag Mates™ labels . And this summer, I am grateful to Mabels' Labels for giving me the chance to try out their brand-new Label Out Loud (LOL) camp packs, which include those same items, but in brighter new color combinations and with your choice of 20 fun design motifs (S. picked trains, R. picked butterflies). I happen to like these more colorful labels better (plus I like their new packaging and the company's spiffy re-designed website. My all-time favorite item? The Tag Mates™ (tiny peel and stick labels) which I affix to the inside of the kids' clothing. They never fade or fall off in the wash, and my kids (who sometimes dislike tags) don't even notice they're there. And for me, they make labelling a camp wardrobe a real snap (how my mom sewed all those name labels for years and years, I'll never know).

I love Mabel's Labels especially for the waterproof labels, but another great site is labelyourstuff.com
ReplyDeleteI use their small iron on labels. They work great and they are much cheaper!
Another plus for Mabel's Labels -- if your child happens to have food allergies, Mabel's makes labels for snack traps, water cups, sippy cups, lunch boxes, etc., with the child's name and a list of the foods to which s/he is allergic. Very helpful!
ReplyDeleteMabel's Wins Hands Down
ReplyDeleteWell, I tried some of the less expensive Etsy labels. Super cute, but a definite failure, as are all the others (stuckonyou).
If you want the labels to stick on clothes and stay on through the wash--go strictly for mabel's.
For items that don't go through as much water abuse (e.g., notebooks)--the cheaper labels would work just fine or the iron ons for clothes (too much work for me!).
P.S. Super-cute colors pack now through the end of September!
