Mabel's Labels camp packs!

"Can I go to sleepaway camp this year?"

"Of course you can Sweetie."

In my head: Doh!  Summer's coming up fast and I don't know what the kids schedules are going to be.  And they need new summer clothes and swimwear and sandals.  And labels!  We're almost out of labels for all of this stuff!

Thanks goodness for Mabel's Labels!

Mini name stickers are dishwasher / microwave safe and UV resistant labels are not only great for lunch and snack containers, they're also fabulous for electronic gadgets, notebooks, pens, markers, and all the little odds and ends.  For bigger items, they also have equally wonderful (just bigger) name stickers.

Tag-mates™ are clothing labels that are washer / dryer safe and best of all stick tight to clothing labels without ironing.  Some of the clothes are worn and faded, but the labels are still going strong!  (Of course if you really want iron on labels, they have those too!)

Growing feet mean new shoes, sandals, and boots too, which means new shoe labels are in order.

To help you save some money, they offer fabulous combo packs.

This year, Mabel is offering two brand-new label combo: a new “Day Camp Labels Pack*” and a new “Sleepaway Camp Labels Pack,**” available until the end of July.

We placed our order on Saturday, after lunch.  Ordering the Sleepaway combo was easy-peasy:
















Customize your label text, icon, and colours in the lower right.









You can see what your labels will look like in the upper left.










You can even pick single colour designs too, just click on "solid" in stead of "multicolour":

We settled on this "foxy" design:
Guess what arrived in the mail on Wednesday?

And it was filled with lots of crunchy label goodness:


Everything was perfect!



Thank you Mabel's Labels for your continued awesomeness!

Mabel's Labels are back to school essentials for me

It's that time of year again.  As hard as I try to ignore all of the advertising, in store promotion, and my calendar, there's no denying that the school year is looming around the corner.  With a new school year comes new school stuff.  Stuff that needs to find its way home for the rest of the year.

I'd first assumed that we'd outgrow name labels when the kids hit the age where they can recognize their own belongings.  Apparently not.  As they get older, things get shared.  Lots.  Things like clothes with best friends.  Things like geometry sets.  Things like snack containers.  Enter my friend Mabel!

We're going to need some Skinny Minis™ by Mabel's Labels.  These dishwasher / microwave safe and UV resistant labels have outlasted some of our lunch and snack containers.  They're fabulous for stationery supplies and especially for food containers.

Tag-mates™ are also on our list.  They're washer / dryer safe and best of all stick tight to clothing labels without ironing.  Some of the clothes are worn and faded, but the labels are still going strong!

Growing feet mean new shoes and boots too, which means new shoe labels are in order.  Some Teeny Tags™ will round things out nicely, to tack onto pencil cases, lunch kits or backpacks.  (I may place a separate Teeny Tag™ order personalized with an ICE (In Case of Emergency) phone number to hang off clothing for use as personal identification.  They also double as great ID for kiddos who are too cool to wear 411 Wristbands.)

It looks to me like I'm in the need of their Ultimate Back to School Combo!






If your kiddos are too cool for Mabel's fun designs, they can graduate to the snazzy new Stylish Scholars Combo.


I should also add that their customer service department is one of the best I've had the pleasure to deal with.  They go above and beyond to make sure you're happy with your order.

You all know that I'm a huge fan of Canada's own Mabel's Labels.   I've been writing about them here since 2007 and I was a direct sales agent with them prior to that.  So it shouldn't be a big surprise that Mabel's Labels Ultimate Back-To-School Combo is on my list of things to get before school starts.

Ordering my Mabel's Labels is one back-to-school task I actually look forward to doing!

MLF&H: Kids too cool for name labels

mabel's icon on a Klean KanteenQuestion:

My child think's they're too old to have their name on their water bottle, but would like a way of easily identifying their bottle from their peers look alike bottles. (We still have some classic stickies with their name on them.)

Any thoughts?

Answer:
Simply cut the icon off the classic stickies you own. (Be sure to round the corners for longer lasting wear.) Decorate bottle as desired.

Also works with skinny-minis™.

Bonus answer:
If you have children with sibling-germ-a-phobia (as in, "Ewww, I don't want to drink from the bottle top if he's used it before, even though it's been thoroughly washed") consider taking a thin slice of the same colour label and using it to match bottles to bottle lids.

MLF&H: Sand toys --Marker vs Mabel's Labels

how to label bootsWhy would you use Mabel's Labels on sand toys? Aren't markers just as good for identifying plastic toys?

You be the judge. The top image is a brand new bucket, freshly labeled with a black permanent marker and a Skinny-Mini™.







how to label bootsThe bottom image is the same bucket after spending a few days in the sandbox with busy hands.

Can you see the difference?

MLF&H: Help! I've got more than one child!

What do you do if you have more than one child and don't want to spend a fortune on personalized labels for each one? Here are some ideas for you:

Solution A: Family name

From the FAQ on the Mabel's Labels website:

Classic Stickies

I have 2 kids, could I have half my order as "Jenny" and the other half as "Kate"?
Unfortunately we can’t split orders. But you might consider going with the family name, so everyone can share the labels.

Should you order the Classic Stickies you'll be able to give each kid their own colour (assuming you've got no more than three children).

Solution B: Give children have same initial

Skinny-Minis™If your children all have the same initial (such as Nicole, Nancy, Nathaniel and Ned) you're all set. Get the initial with your family name!

What's that? You didn't name your children with the same initial and you don't want to rename them? No worries.... we have more ideas below!

Solution C: Two children -- icon / no icon

Skinny-Minis™If you've got two children with a large age difference, you may be able to convince the older one that icons on the stickers are for little kids. Then order your labels with the family name and cut off the icon for the older child to use. The younger child will identify anything with the name and the icon to be theirs.

Skinny-Minis™Be sure to round the corners when you cut as approximated by the red lines in the image to the right.



Solution D: Two initials

Skinny-Minis™If you need labels for two children, Nicole and Mabel, you could order the label as shown to the right.





Skinny-Minis™Then for Nicole, cut off the ",M" and the icon. Be sure to round the corners when you cut as approximated by the red lines in the image to the right.




Skinny-Minis™For Mabel, you cut off the "N." Again, be sure to round the corners when you cut as approximated by the red lines in the image to the right.



Solution E: Two initals, short family name

Skinny-Minis™If you have a short family name and need labels for two children, Nicole and Mabel, you could order the label as shown to the right.




Skinny-Minis™Then cut the label in half, one for each child. Be sure to round the corners when you cut as approximated by the red lines in the image to the right.




Solution F: Multiple initials

Skinny-Minis™Use all the initials separated by a "/" for Nicole, Mabel and Tricia. No cutting required!


I hope you've found an idea in here that works for you. If you have other solutions you'd like to share, please let us know!

MLF&H: Not just for kids' stuff!

Skinny-Minis™You may know that Classic Stickies and Skinny-Minis™ are perfect for toys, containers, cups, bottles and more. You may even know that they withstand the dishwasher, microwave, UV Rays and hard wearing children.

Don't let that stop you from using them to label your things too! From your reusable lunch containers to USB memory keys, make sure that your valuable things come back to you!

Skinny-Minis™

Because they withstand water and UV rays, they are the perfect solution for identifying your indoor and outdoor tools!
