**GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED**
Congratulations to:
#184 Gina H
I bought my daughter’s winter jacket 2 years ago from Old Navy….bright pink and white (easier to spot her in). Or so I thought. It seemed as if every time I saw a little girl, she would be wearing an identical jacket. Moms all shopping at the same store, no doubt. I imagined how crazy it would have been had she been in school at the time……with her likely grabbing someone else’s coat by mistake (or someone else, her’s).
Now that I’m feeling kindergarten approaching (okay, it’s not until next year, but I FEEL it), I’m sooo glad there’s a solution to this jacket problem.
I knew Mabel’s Labels had to be created by moms! I was right…..and here’s what they had to say:
We are moms who were frustrated by the amount of stuff that left our houses, never to return. After lots of research and testing we created the perfect labels for the stuff kids lose.
Oh, and this winter, just think of the hats, scarves, jackets, and mittens that children will lose at school. I shudder to think. My sister even told me how my nephew lost his jacket…..never to be returned. Why? Well, it didn’t have his name in it……which would have made it easier to return.
Now, I might be showing my age here, but I remember my Grandma sewing some labels in my clothes when I was a child. So, I thought maybe this might require my breaking out a needle and thread, but Mabel’s Labels couldn’t be easier. Most of them just stick on – and stay on!
Mabel’s Labels are:
- Laundry Safe
- Dishwasher Safe
- Microwave Safe
You might be wondering why I’m talking about Dishwasher and Microwave use…….well, think of how great it would be if you could label all your bottles, sippy cups, and more for daycare. That’s exactly what Mabel’s Labels did…..they thought beyond just labels for clothing. In fact, they’ve created amazing and durable labels for everything from shoes and jackets, to school supplies and backpacks.
Perfect for school, daycare, camp, vacations, and everyday use too.
I want to be sure to tell you about three special kinds of products they have:
- Cord Control Labels – Mabel’s Labels created these for me and I’m loving them! I can label the cords for a smartphone, laptop, game system, and more! No more wondering which cord goes to what product.
- Allergy Alert Labels - perfect for kids with dangerous food allergies
- My 411 Wristbands – durable, disposable ID bracelets perfect for theme parks and field trips. Can contain cell phone info and more just in case a child gets lost.
Thanks to Mabel’s Labels, I recently received the Ultimate Back-to-School Combo! I love the box it came in……it easily fits inside my desk drawer to store my labels!
The Ultimate Back-to-School Combo includes:
- 50 Tag Mates (peel and stick to clothing)
- 40 Skinny-Minis (small and great for school supplies)
- 16 Shoe Labels (waterproof and stick to the insoles)
- 2 Teeny Tags (attach with iron ring to any bags…..like backpack, lunch tote, etc)
The combo is only available only until September 30th!
This particular combo costs $42 and you can select designs and colors to personalize. If you only put the clothing tags on the items kids generally take off at school (like coats, sweaters, mittens, etc), then one combo should last a couple years I would think. There are 50 tags for clothing.
A less expensive alternative would be to get the Classic Tag Mates – 75 peel and stick labels for clothing at just $21.
Mabel Moolah is Back: From August 16 to September 6th, earn $25 in Mabel Moolah for every $85 purchased, before taxes and shipping, after discounts. Click on the link for more details!
Now for some extra fun for my readers….

My family has lost, gloves, umbrellas, and cups because we didn’t have them labeled.
It seems like my two little girls lost things all the time. It’s usually when we are out and about.
I always loose things at random and my son’s lost things at playgroup activities.

My son is at a day camp this week. So far, in 2 days, he has lost his lunch bag with drink box, goggles, and jacket. But, we got them back thanks to me labeling them with Mabel’s labels! I need a new set now for my 4 year old daughter who is starting kindergarten this fall.

It seems that Winter is always the time of year that things get misplaced or lost. Especially with all the extras we wear. Hats, gloves, etc..
I have used Markers to at least place the kids Initials inside to try & help.
These labels would be neater and more visible i’m sure!! Would love to try them out!

I never thought it was possible to lose a shoe but my four-year-old managed to do just that while we were walking in the mall. Two hours later, we backtracked through every store and restroom and asked guest services if they had a lost and found box. We never found my daughter’s missing shoe but saw tons of kids items ranging from socks to sippy cups. Interestingly, nothing was labeled.

I’ve always lost things while I was in school, but now I tend to forget, lose, or leave important things behind such as my cell phone, wallet, or recently, one of my material go green grocery bags right at the store! lol, I remembered it while driving away though! Between me, my husband, and my daughter…we could really use these! Thank you for the opportunity!
Don’t ask me how this happens…but my son lost a SOCK at childcare! I knew our laundry machine ate them, but at some point, it got lost during nap time. We have also lost multiple reusable lunch containers. I think with these labels, we wouldn’t have such problems!

I have two daughters and they are constantly loosing things at school/daycare. These labels would be so awesome! That way when going through the lost and found I don’t need to “think” if it is theirs.

I would say it is a regular thing in my house. Let’s just say, my Mom used to tell me that I’d lose my head if it wasn’t attached. It runs in the family!
Take care, thank you!
