FacebookHer name is Mabel.
Okay, maybe Mabel’s not a real person, but her labels rock! Mabel’s Labels just might be the best thing since sliced bread, as they say.
Developed by a group of 4 Canadian moms who were frustrated with losing their childrens’ items everywhere they went. They decided to form a business together and develop labels that were attractive, yet tough enough to go through the dishwasher and the microwave, and survive being left out in the sun & rain. For clothing, they needed to stick to many fabrics and withstand the washer & dryer.
After lots of research and testing, they came to the conclusion that they’d developed the perfect labels. They claim that their “dishwasher-and microwave-safe stick-on-labels can be used on cups, bowls, toys, books, sunscreen bottles, lunchboxes, wipes containers, show-and-tell items, and more.
The stick-in shoe labels are extra-tough, because shoes are tricky to label. Their iron-ons are so simple to apply, you’ll be amazed at what you can label!”
I used the sticky labels on sippy cups, a travel wipes container and large toys. I’ve put them through the dishwasher multiple times (20 or more) and also in the microwave, and they just won’t die. (In this case, that’s a good thing!) Conversely, my homemade labels lasted a wash or two but then began to slip and mash together.
The household labels are just as awesome. Organizing is one of my addictions, and these super secure labels make it easy and fun. (Yes, I said it. It’s fun!) Even if you’re not a freak like me, these super cool (Canadian made!) labels will make the sometimes daunting task of organizing your belongings a little easier.
They thought of categories that even I didn’t think of. I now, thanks to Mabel’s Labels, have a ’sell’ and a ‘donate’ bin in my basement which I am loving!
I have also created a “Mend/Fix” bin and have gotten rid of my pile of grocery bags stacked with my sewing machine. They have labels to separate your stored childrens’ clothing from birth to size 6. There are labels for spices, food staples, holiday items, recycling and much more, all in one set!
Shipping is free in Canada and it’s only $3 to the US and $5 worldwide, regardless of the size of your order.
I’m thinking…stocking stuffers?

When your kids start school or go to summer camp, labels on EVERYTHING become an absolute necessity because without them, they will very likely lose half of what you send them with. I speak from experience! These sound great.
