      I have a label maker, so now have to prepare a self-ink name stamp for textbooks and other stuff that are make of paper.

      Actually nonid to prepare all these tools lah. I typed in name (chinese & english - add class if you want) into excel. Shrink to font 8 (for smaller stuff), font 14-18 for bigger ones. Copy and paste....then print and cut out. stick with scotchtape. More work I think but it's practically free.

          Remember this line when your baby grows up and is stuck to her friends. :siam:

          I used to think that of DS2 (he's more clingy) - but he's better now, and I'm enjoying the times when I can still hold their hands and kiss them in public without them cringing. πŸ˜‰

            Yes enjoying hugging them and hearing them say they love me. Thought of taping it down, and show it to them when they think it's too yucky to do these things. :lol:

                  this is a good idea, low cost and good. I have those name cartoon label stickers to stick the K1/K2 water bottle and book but does not last long. It will still drop off if wet. For clothes, i have the iron on name label but these came off after a few machine wash.

                    We have those \"Brother\"/\"canon\" branded labeller - more for water bottles, but the labels drop out after some washes. I did think to buy those cartoon labels, or make a stamp. But then thinking about WHAT info I need to include gives me a headache. At least doing the manual way I can decide and change at will.

                    For HWS uniform, cannot avoid sewing the name tags becos there is NO adhesive. I don't label other clothes lah - my DH will think me :siao: .

                      I will just have to pass the name tags for the sewing aunties to help. I failed my sewing one. I remembered making a baby dress during home economics, it was so bad I think the teacher pass me out of pity

                        oh yes, agree! the \"brother\" label printer also does not work for long.

                        Can i check, for school bag, do they need trolley bag or just normal carry back pack bags will do?
