Oliver Labels -- Review and Giveaway!

Every fall, as all mom's with school aged children know, there is a mass exodus to local department store stationary departments, and office supply stores! School supply shopping marks the commencement of school but the sometimes gruelling task does not end there! At my children's school everything down to each individual pencil crayon must be labelled. And believe me labelling 48 crayons, 48 pencil crayons, and 32 markers, glue and glues sticks, scissors, erasers, ruler...the list goes on, can be frustrating and time consuming. The tiny printing with a marker reminds me of cataloguing artifacts {sorry, I'm an archaeologist so this is my bizarre comparison}. This fall my youngest daughter, Bronwynn, starts kindergarten. I will then have to label everything from clothing to erasers for three children! Guess who will be using Oliver's Labels?? Oliver's Labels makes life just a little bit easier...and isn't that what all parents want? Something that makes life just a little less frustrating!

Oliver's Labels are full-colour graphics. This makes them bright, attractive and noticeable! They are made using a special process that guarantees the image will not rub or wash off and they are produced using eco-friendly machinery! And the best feature? Oliver's Labels are the only labels to feature "Found-It"! Tired of your child's precious items disappearing? Does your child leave his or her jacket at the park, or lose dance shoes at dance recitals? "Found-It" may help your child's valuable belongings find their way home! "Found-It" is an online lost-and-found program. Oliver's Original labels, shoe labels and clothing labels include the lost-and-found website and an identification number! Isn't that ingenious?
The first Oliver's Labels product I tried was the Shoe Label. Having three children means shoes seem to multiply in our home. Dance shoes, soccer cleats, outdoor shoes, indoor school shoes...so many shoes! I used the shoe labels in my daughter's tap shoes. The first thing I noticed was how these durable labels are shaped like the left and right foot. This is perfect for cuing children who have trouble with putting their shoes on the wrong feet! The labels are so easy to apply. Just Peel and Stick!
I also received the mini labels which are the perfect size for many of those small school supplies which are normally such a nuisance to label. I put them on my daughter's school pencil crayons {yes I buy some school supplies super early on sale to avoid the rush}! The Original Labels can be used for just about anything. I will be using them to label school books, bags, and stash boxes!
There's something NEW at Oliver's Labels! Oliver's labels now have Stick-eez Clothing labels! I've used iron-on labels and sew-on labels in clothing in the past and found it far to time consuming applying them and inevitably the iron-ons peel off! Oliver Labels again makes labelling so simple! Even better Oliver's Labels now have a NEW Laurie's Labels designer collection. For your style conscious mini-fashionistas checkout these fashion inspired designs!
