Birthday Giveaway: Mabel's Labels
Laurel started attending day care part-time when she was 9 months old, and a large part of the communal learning environment since then has -- to my initial chagrin -- revolved around labeling her things. But oh do easy to use labels (read: no sewing whatsoever) make all the difference. Once I started using Mabel's Labels, the whole ID'ing-all-of-Laurel's-belongings process became easy and even sort of weirdly fun, and now she's old enough to label things on her own. These self adhesive labels are fantastic for clothes (they stay put through the washer and dryer), shoes (even the labels on her flip flops have gone through countless sprinkler runs and are still holding on), and lunch/school supplies. And as part of my Boston Mamas Fourth Birthday Giveaway Series, Mabel's Labels generously is gifting four lucky winners with their Ultimate Back-to-School label pack ($39-44 value each). Simply check out the rules below and leave a comment on this giveaway by Thursday, August 12, to enter to win.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
Congrats to winners Niki, Katie, Heather, and Tara!

Rules:
*Four lucky winners (drawn randomly via Random.org) will receive a customized Ultimate Back-to-School label pack. The winners will be notified directly via e-mail, then listed back at this post using first name only.

Oooh, count me in!
Still waiting for our start-of-school letter... our first year of preschool! Will see how much I need to go crazy with labeling. :-)
Thanks for the giveaway, C, and it was great to see you at BlogHer, even if only briefly!

Great! Thanks for the chance to win. These look like great labels. I'm so sick of putting the ugly "sharpie" initials on tags.

My son is starting kindergarten & my daughter is starting preschool (sob!), so I've been eyeing Mabel's Labels...They look fantastic!
Posted by: Jessica | August 12, 2010 7:07 AM | Reply to this comment
So excited that you are giving away Mabels Labels! I have wanted to get the shoe labels for my kids for years. Instead, I end up marking up the shoes with a sharpie, which ends up rubbing off anyway.

These would be terrific for my little tot in daycare!

Posted by: B. Young | August 12, 2010 8:50 AM | Reply to this comment
So much better than trying to write a giant "Z" on a skinny little tag!
My Twins have a long last name with 10 letters, and then writing that name on every object they take to pre-school for the next decade will be an eternal challenge.
With Mabel's Labels, my life will be much more efficient and fun, and no teacher will ever need to ask, "Who is "Z"?

we could really use the Colourful Ultimate Back-to-School Combo for both boys

I got some of Mabel's Labels last year to label my son's ever-disappearing coats. What a life-saver! AND they really don't come off in the wash...they're awesome!

I love that their labels are perfect for any range of kids. Cutesy for my toddler, yet stylin' for my 5th grader!

Oh no, I think we're taking Mabel's Labels server down, keep on getting a 500 Internal Server Error :( If only I'd labeled my daughter's school sweater, I might know where it is today.
