There’s that dizzying moment in holiday shopping when your judgment is blurred ever so slightly.  Keep this guide in mind. Personalized reindeer sweater?  Not if the gift is for someone older than 8.

Personalized labels?  Yes. Definitely.

Everyone loves to see his or her name personalized on an item.  Sometime it’s hard to find today’s unique names on personalized items. It’s such a disappointment when your own name is missing from the dozens on the rack. Having one’s name on a special toy or gift is always a treasure, no matter what age the recipient may be.  Let’s face it, even as an adult, haven’t you looked over the personalized shelf to see if your name was on it? It’s because a personalized gift says that it’s just for you—made just for you—and you can always find it because it has your name on it.

Lucky for you, Lovable Labels has got you covered in that area.   With packages starting at just $14.99, this is a gift that won’t be forgotten in a few days.  Plus you can get $5 off your $25 purchase by using code DECBLOG30 (good through December 31, 2012.)  Created by a mom who was too busy to label everything for daycare, Lovable Labels has  durable and waterproof alternatives that will look way better than your black permanent marker name.  I really like the multi-packs that offer an assortment of items.  The Holly Jolly pack gives the recipient a great variety of labels and tags.  My daughter is always buying something to hang on her backpack, I know that she will really love the mini-metal tags in this set.  The slimline labels are very handy for marking pencils, cell phones, and other objects that don’t have a lot of space for a larger label.  These are my favorite labels to use in my classroom (where my students “borrow” at least a dozen pencils a day……not to mention rulers, scissors, and other items.)   You don’t even have to personalize with a name!  Consider getting some labels with a special message or sentiment.  See my pen in this picture? It makes me happy every time I use it!

I’ll bet you can come up with all kinds of uses for the clothing and shoe labels!   If your child plays sports or does dance, you definitely know the pain of losing the ever-important ballet slippers or jersey to the lost-and-found.  The great thing about the clothing labels, other than the fact that they’re washable, is that they’re press-and-stick.  No more iron-on with these!  The labels come in a pretty red cello bag that makes it perfect for a gift envelope.  I also like the way the labels are organized—they’re in a little flip booklet with tabs at the top so you can find just the label you need.

Lovable Labels has exciting colors and symbols available to make the personalization even more special.  You can really custom-design your label package to fit your child with these.  If you have a special teacher on your Christmas list, why not consider ordering a special set of labels for his/her classroom?  It’s definitely a gift that will be used and appreciated.
