Review & Giveaway (closed): Lovable Labels

Kids lose stuff; it’s the cardinal law of parenting, however frustrating and however many lectures on responsibility you can give. Who’s got time to sit down with every folder, backpack, pair of sneakers, sweatshirt, coat, hat, etc. and painstakingly write your child’s name in said item in permanent marker? Enter Lovable Labels. I loved them as soon as I saw their tagline: “Labels that stick with your kids and their stuff!” When I had the chance to review a batch of Lovable Labels, I was even more impressed; these labels are durable, waterproof, dishwasher and microwave safe, washer and dryer safe, sun safe, bleach safe, sunscreen and temperature safe—and cute to boot!

We chose the Friendship Pack and Friendship Sampler pack, which comes with a variety for you and a smaller package of labels that you can customize for a friend. What a neat idea! We road tested some of our Lovable Labels straight away by putting them inside my children’s shoes, which they are required to take off at school during inclement weather in favor of their “indoor shoes”. I figured there was no better way to test the durability of these labels than them getting repeatedly stepped on, sweaty and generally mucked up. Days later, the label we chose (pink with peace signs for the house full of cool girls!) was not only still in place, but I could barely do anything to it to make it rip or shift. I’m one pleased mama, and wasted no time in labeling books, packs of pencils, school bags, lunch totes and textbooks with these little labels of awesomeness.

And not only are they extremely reliable and functional, but Lovable Labels has a variety of colors, shapes and icons to make them fun as well. Retailing for only $19.95 per set. These Alert Labels are dishwasher safe and microwaveable, they’re perfect for kids’ lunch boxes, drink bottles and containers. Lovable Labels also offers Original Bag Tags, specially made tags with straps that can hook onto backpacks, diaper bags, luggage or any other type of bag as well as Mini-Metal Tags, made from a durable metal that is both water and weatherproof.

On their colorful and easy-to-use website, www.lovablelabels.ca, ordering is broken down into three steps: choosing a label type like the ones I just described, choosing an icon (there are 45 different ones from which to choose, from teddy bears to skulls), and choosing a color combo: either “cool” (racing red, Olympic blue and pumpkin yellow) or “pretty” (princess pink, perfect purple and apple green). Lovable Labels also offers other great products as well, such as their colorful yet stylish Medical and ID wristbands.

I think what’s best, though, about this product is that Lovable Labels was the brain child of a mom just like all of us. Who knows best what we need but other moms of kids? Lovable Labels has thought of everything, and I’ve been recommending them to all of my mom and dad friends. When I find a product that is affordable, useful, and actually works, I am happy to endorse them. I encourage you to give Lovable Labels a try; you’ll be sure to stick with this product!
