Win Mabel's Labels Ultimate Back To School Combo ($42 Value)

School is upon us and summer may be coming to an end, but Mabel's Labels are always in season.


Our sampler of Mabel's Labels Ultimate Back to School Combo just arrived in the mail and it rocks!!    The kids were so excited with their new labels and happily set to work claiming everything.   They promptly tagged their new school backpacks with the adorable mini dog tags, then tracked down their lunch boxes, reusable water bottles, and school supplies, to protect from look alike confusion. 


Sagezilla had a spy themed play day, so she Mabel Labeled all her treasured spy gear, so there would be no ownership confusion later.   Du-Jay did the same to all our flying objects like Frisbees, balls and outdoor toys that often disappear at parks and at the beach.   


Du-Jay picked the lizard in brights and Sagezilla picked the skull and crossbones, also in brights.   We opted to add the kids' names and my cell number, to up the chances of recovering lost objects.   I've tried three different label brands and was quite impressed with Mabel's.    They're easy to peel, hold up to washing, have long enough lines for a name and number, and they have a great selection of styles and packages.


We've also tried the messy, cramp inducing Sharpie way of labeling everything.   We've tried iron on and sew in clothing labels.   Like I have time to sew little labels in stuff?!    We've also tried going label-less, with a disastrous rate of missing objects.


It may sound like a chunk of change, but it only takes a few key items recovered before a pack of quality labels more than pays for itself.    We were elated to get back a $100 labeled North Face fleece that was accidentally forgotten.

ChiIL Mama's celebrating back to school season with a sweet deal for you.   Enter here for your chance to win Mabel's Labels Ultimate Back to School Combo ($42.00 value).    Enter here from now through September 13th at midnight.    Our winner will be announced Wednesday, the 14th.    Good luck!

One of ChiIL Mama's readers will win an Ultimate Back-to-School Combo in your choice of colors and design.   Open to Canada and the US.
