I think I was in denial as the last days of the summer holiday passed and I realised that it was actually less than a week before Ava started school. I then realised that I had no labels for any of her stuff. As she will be starting school in France I will have ZERO chance of getting any lost items back (as I can’t speak French!), so I knew labels were a must. My hubby said just to write her name on the label, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that to her lovely things.
So when Neatlynamed contacted me to see if I’d like to try their product, it was as if fate had intervened. I did seriously doubt that they would be able to be printed and get to us here in France in time though. I needn’t have worried. I ordered them late on Monday evening and they arrived on Friday first thing. Perfect timing!
In a survey by Neatlynamed, they found that parents spend £1,589 replacing items lost by their kids before the age of ten, as the average youngster misplaces a total of 483 belongings between the ages of three and ten. 62% of these missing possessions are never found again.
The thought of attempting to sew labels into all her clothes (as she doesn’t have a uniform at her school) was not desirable. I’m a busy mama (aren’t we all!) and I don’t have time for that. So you can imagine my glee when I realised the labels were stick on! (they have iron on and sew in ones too if you fancy those).
I ordered their Peel ‘n Stick Clothing Stickers which just stick onto the clothing label of each garment. Bliss! These come in packs of 18 or 36, with prices starting at just over £6.00. They also offer name labels for items and shoes, with see-through covers to stick on top to prevent them rubbing off. If you have any Disney fans at home, then their Disney labels will be a hit.
The name labels are are dishwasher and microwave proof which makes them perfect to use on toys, lunch boxes, bottles and bags. I ordered some small ones and some large ones too. With all of the labels you can include one name or two and both the name labels and you can add a picture from a variety of options. The stickers are great quality printed on substantial sticker paper, so they do look like they will last.
I got Ava a personalised wrist band which has her name on it and my phone number and a tag for her bag, which she adores!
They are such a fabulous idea and I would totally recommend Neatlynamed for their great idea, perfect product and their super fast delivery.
