Back to School Shopping Guide – Mabel’s Labels

It can be trying to find your stuff in a sea of clothing, shoes and backpacks.  Now imagine how hard it must be for your little one.  Or for the teacher trying to dole out the items to the right person at the end of the day.  Thank goodness for Mabel’s Labels who are making organization a breeze!

Mabel’s site is aptly titled, “Mabel’s Labels for the stuff kids lose”.  And boy oh boy is that accurate.  Kids can lose practically everything.

Mabel’s has a full collection of labels, shoe tags, bag tags, my 411 wristbands, and kitchen labels in an assortment of bright colourful designs.  They are also Canadian owned and operated which is a huge plus to this Canadian Mommy!

Wish so many choices available how do you know which product is just for you?  Well Mabel’s makes it easy to find the key attributes to each product.

The Traditional Sticky Labels and Skinny Mini’s are great great for products such as toys, dishes, and bottles.

Looking for a label you can attach to your children’s clothing, blankets, lunch sacks, diaper bags or backpack?  Then be sure to check out to Iron-Ons or Tag Mates.  Tag Mates may be the perfect solution if you prefer to not affix a label directly on the fabric.  Either choice will make camp or school time a breeze!

I absolutely adore both the designs available and also the durable, high quality products that Mabel’s creates.  Labels are UV resistant, dish washer, washing machine, and dryer safe.

Pictured above are the Teeny Tags, perfect for attaching to backpacks, and lunch sacks, plus luggage when travelling (these are cool enough for an adult to use too!)

Not quite sure what product is the best one for your family?  Or looking for an assortment without paying full price on everything?  Then a Combo pack is your best bet.  Combo packs give you an assortment of the most popular products Mabel’s creates, at a fraction of the cost to purchase them separately.

Caitlin of Mabel’s Labels has generously offered one lucky Optimistic Beauty Reader the opportunity to bring home their very own Camp/School Pack pictured below.  Pack is available in your choice of 3 sets of colours, and up to 20 characters printed. To enter, head on over to Mabel’s Labels and have a look around.  Then come back here and let me know what product would fit your family the best (other than the Camp/School Pack of course).

Looking for more chances to win?  Your wish is my command!
