Labels for Back-to-School: Mabel’s Labels Review and Giveaway

This year, I have back-to-school shopping lists for three boys! All of my kids will be in school in just a few short weeks. Don’t be too jealous as this only amounts to approximately 6 hours per week that I will have a kid-free home.

I have a hard enough time keeping their things straight just in our house. They take stuff to school and who knows where everything will end up.  Because kids lose things.

Which is why I have a total love affair with Mabel’s Labels: Labels for the Stuff Kids Lose!ยฎ

Last year, we used Mabels for all of my boys’ school supplies, backpacks, shoes, sweatshirts, jackets, anything that I thought huh, that might end up not making it back home.

We also have sets with our last name on them that I attach to items like tupperware container and beach toys.

Mabel’s Labels was kind enough after I begged and said that I absolutely need more for this school year to send one of their Ultimate Back-to-School Combos for each of my boys.

The combo includes 50 Tag Mates(washer and dryer safe), 40 Skinny Minis(dishwasher and microwave safe), 16 Shoe Labels, and 2 Teeny Tags.  It’s enough to send your child to school confident that their belongings will stay out of the lost and found!

The Ultimate Back-to-School Combo is only available thru September 30th.  If you hurry and get it today(July 31st), it’s $39. After today, it’s $42.

You can see more of their products on their site or on Mabel’s Labels facebook page.

Giveaway: One of you will win a an Ultimate Back-to-School Combo! Open to US and Canada, this giveaway will close at 9pm ET on 8/8.  Winner will be notified via email and have 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be chosen. If your email is not visible in your profile, please leave it with your entries.

Required Entry: Visit Mabel’s Labels and leave me a comment telling me which design you like the best.

Additional Entries: Please leave a separate comment for each entry.

I received labels for hosting this giveaway. Because I begged for them. What does that tell you about how much I think they are a needed BTS supply? All opinions are my own, of course. 

This giveaway is now closed and the winner is #18: Mommy Inconsistent.

    Actually we've used Mabel's Labels for years. Originally their smaller labels for things like sippy cups was indispensable during play dates. Now I would recommend the back to school pack assortment as it give you a mix… and you'd be surprised how handy they are.
