Get Kids Ready for Summer Camp with New Write On Labels from Stuck on You-Giveaway

June 23, 2015 by Kathryn 58 Comments

With the end of June just one week away, plans for summer have already begun for most families. And for many, that means planning for summer camp! I still have so many great memories of attending overnight camp as a child and I learned plenty of fun skills too. But while I brought back a lot from those camp days, my forgetful nature meant that I left things behind too…literally!

Luckily, my boys won’t be going through the same thing thanks to the handy new Write On Labels from Stuck on You! The company’s personalized labels have been a must on my shopping list each new school year and now the Write On Name Labels and Write On Clothing Labels are helping to ensure gear that goes to summer camp with my boys comes back home safely again!

Back to School is a Snap with Labels from Stuck on You-Giveaway

August 20, 2014 by Kathryn 100 Comments

While I love back-to-school season, there is one aspect of it I have never enjoyed, and that’s writing my children’s names on all their school supplies. Our local school tends to be a bit excessive both in the amount of supplies my boys need and the amount of labelling those supplies require. In fact, I still have memories of the long, agonizing process of writing my name on my own school supplies when I was younger!

That’s why I’ve been a loyal customer of Stuck on You ever since Zackary was in Kindergarten. This personalized label and gift company is one I’ve written about frequently and considering the beauty and durability of its products, that’s not likely to change any time soon! This year Stuck on You was kind enough to send me a 5+ Label Value Pack just in time for back to school and once again, the company’s products turned the process of labelling school supplies from a pain into a pleasure!

Help Kids Keep Track of Their Gear with Bright Star Kids Name Labels-Giveaway

March 7, 2014 by Kathryn 74 Comments

Now that my youngest son is in pre-Kindergarten and preparing for Kindergarten in the fall, he has a lot more things for me to keep track of. So I have to put a little extra effort into making sure that all his supplies come home again. I’ve been using customizable labels for a few years now and so I was excited to test out the labels offered by Bright Star Kids. These labels come in a variety of different options for different needs and I ordered the Mega Name Labels Value Kit for Benjamin.

This kit contains everything a parent needs to label almost anything of a child’s. Containing 345 labels of different sizes and types, it’s a great value too. The labels are quick and easy to customize by choosing a colour, a font and an icon. I decided on blue labels with the simple Kiddie font and an alien in a UFO icon for my youngest son. Less than two weeks later, the labels arrived and I was ready to start personalizing some possessions!

With Zackary’s clothing, I’ve always avoided using iron-on labels since so many of his items get passed down to Benjamin. But my youngest son’s clothing generally gets worn out by the time he’s finished wearing it, so I was more willing to use iron-on labels for him. And after losing a scarf at pre-Kindergarten once this winter already, it was clear that his gear could use the identification too! [Read more…]
