Who’s getting ready for summer camp?
Buddy has two more weeks left of school, but I’m already tabulating all the things I need to get ready for when his YMCA camp starts on June 30: bathing suits, towels, backpacks, lunch bags, water bottles, bug spray, sunscreen … the list goes on and on.
Last year – my first time dealing with the whole summer camp experience – I carefully wrote Buddy’s name in black Sharpie on all his items, only to find that it had either smeared and had become unrecognizable, or had worn off altogether.
And then I thought about the labels I’ve been using for years for our Tupperware containers and Mimi’s bottles and sippy cups. Turns out the company, Name Bubbles, has a special Camp Labels Pack!!
I may have done a little dance of excitement.
The camp labels are sunblock and bug-repellent and stick on pretty much everything: clothes, shoes, backpacks, towels. Not only are they waterproof and weatherproof, but they’re also safe for both the dishwasher AND washing machine.
I haven’t washed a piece of clothing with a Name Bubbles label before, but I know from first-hand experience that they really and truly are dishwasher safe. Mimi has some sippies with labels I applied nearly a year ago! And both Buddy and Mimi have labels on their school lunch boxes and both have lasted the entire school year. So I can vouch for their durability, and if Name Bubbles says they’re also machine washable, well then I believe them.
What’s awesome about the Camp Labels pack is that the labels – all 108 of them! — some in varying sizes for all the different types of items your child brings to camp.
And there are tons of ways to personalize them, including different colors, themes, styles, and fonts. We recently got our package of Name Bubbles camp labels (iconic series/solid style/red-and-gray color scheme/charm font) and I can’t wait to use them.
Thanks to the gang at Name Bubbles, I’m giving away one camp label pack to a Keeping Mommy Sane reader! You’ll get to personalize your labels to your heart’s content 🙂
This one ends next Friday, June 20, at 12:01 am EST.
