The kids’ personalised stickers which I got from those push cart stalls in the mall have been failing me. These days, we can’t even recognise what’s being printed on the labels. Thankfully, they are at the age where they are indicating their preferences more strongly than ever, so we know what belongs to who by colour and design preferences, like their water bottles. The confusion begins when things are identical, like school bags, uniforms and colour pencils.
The label that failed me, which also means a waste of money
And it’s as if Stickerkid picked up my distress signal, and offered to send some personalised labels my way for the Kao kids.
Stickerkid is an online store that designs and produces high quality Swiss-made personalised labels from stickers for belongings and identification bracelets to photo name labels. The company was founded in 2004 and has printed millions of premium quality labels for thousands of parents and their children all over the world. We were really blessed to be given a fully sponsored code to customise a one-line personalised label for our belongings, as well as iron-ons for all the three kids.
It didn’t take us long to go online and choose the colours and fonts that we wanted, and the kids each had a say of their labels’ font colour and background colour.
The kids took turns to sit in front of my lap top to personalise their sticker labels
And when they arrived in the mail two weeks ago, they were thrilled! Immediately, they started labelling their favourite things…
60 small stickers for each Kao kid from Stickerkid!
“Hands off, these are mine!”: I am echoing the sentiments of these kids here
And I took it upon myself to label their identical looking pencils to prevent more fights from breaking out…
Identical things like these MUST be labelled in this house so that a war doesn’t break out
As well as rid their water bottles of their previous useless labels and putting on new ones.
The kids chose their favourite colours for their labels which incidentally are the same colours as their water bottles!
Clearly, the biggest difference between those roadside-pushcart-pseudo-Disney name labels and those from Stickerkid is the fact that the quality of the stickers really IS better. I hear these stickers survive the microwave, the dishwasher, water, sun and sand. I’ve waited two weeks to write this review to see if the labels would fade and drop off from the kids’ water bottles that go through a good deal of scrubbing once a day, and I am pleased to say that they haven’t! I also stuck them on fabric (the kids’ school bags) and the labels have stayed there since the day I pasted them on.
I stuck the labels on the kids’ school bag made of tough fabric and the adhesive in each label is amazingly strong
And although their iron-on labels for clothes may not be the prettiest, they apparently are made to last for a really long time – as long as at least 45 washings in 60ºC. With these labels ironed on, I no longer have to spend time squinting at faded size tags at the back of their PE t-shirts (Becks is S and Ben is M) when I get them ready for school. Any time saved is good time saved, I say.
What a relief to have these !
I’m really happy to have Stickerkids help personalise the kids’ stuff. Their labels are extremely affordable and value for money, and saves me time and prevents fights. These little stickers are really something.
Thank you, Stickerkid, for sending these goodies our way and making the Kao kids really happy with these pretty things!
