Mabel's Labels Review and Giveaway

It's back to school time and that means time to get organized!

This was the first week of school and my two boys are now both in full day school. This means we send them both to school in the morning with coats, bags, lunch containers and what ever other random things they have hidden in their backpacks. Six hours later we return and are not always greeted with boys that have all of the items they arrived with.


Often times this goes un-noticed and it is weeks later when we are searching through the lost and found trying to figure out if that Blue Old Navy Hoodie is one of ours or not. We look for a known mark or anything that will confirm its ours. At the beginning of the school year when a lot of the clothing is new this is a near impossible task.
Well Mabel's Labels has saved the day at our house!

We were recently sent the 'Back to School Combo' pack for our youngest son. I let him go on the website with me and choose from the four colour combination options. He choose the Nature Lovers which is a great mix of blue, brown and green. Then he was able to choose the icon for his labels and picked the 'race car'. This was a harder decision as Mabel's Labels has 48 options in the icon section. I entered his name and we were done. When the labels arrived my son very excitedly wanted to put them on everything and ran and grabbed all of his shoes and coats.


This is what is included in the 'Back to School Combo'

50 Tag-Mates
40 Skinny-Minis
16 Shoe Labels
2 NEW Teeny Tags.


I found this to be more than enough tags for one child. We labelled all of his shoes, several coats and sweaters, his lunch containers and put the teeny tags onto his backpack and lunch bag. There are still a lot of labels left. I would even think that this pack would easily last two years for most kids. I think next time I might just order the tags with our Surname on them and then split the colours between the two boys.


Don't delay the 'Back to School Combo' is only available until Sept 25Th for $39. Its a great time to get a whole set of labels that will make life much easier.

Think Mabel's Labels are only for school items? Well you couldn't be more wrong!
There are labels for organizing your kitchen, the garage, your crafts, those messy cords and even the classroom/playroom.

Well you too can now be organized and hopefully lose less items!
Mabel's Labels is giving one of our readers a set of Skinny-Minis-perfect to label school supplies or daycare items!

  3. I would probably choose the teal and select the maple leaf icon (while not Canadian, it is my dream to someday move!). This would really solve all our labeling issues with daycare. Each night, as we wash our daughters cups and dishes, the 'permanent' marker washes right off, and we have to re-label each day! Thank you for the giveaway!
