Looking for a great, not to mention fashionable and kid-friendly, way to label your child's belongings at school this fall? Apparently lots of parents are as my daughter’s elementary school always has a pretty impressive motley crue of gear in the lost and found pile. I’ve tried several kinds of waterproof personalized labels for kids, but I think I have found the most unique ones to date at Oliver’s Labels.

Oliver’s Labels are fun colorful labels that are durable enough to be used on items that go in the dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer, and outdoors. They come in a wide variety of colorful and kid-friendly designs. My 7-year-old chose the Fantasy design with fanciful mermaids and fairies. The designs also include plain solid labels in bright colors as well as allergy warning labels, which are great if your child has food allergies. There's even a fun line of fashion inspired labels for adults. I mean what working mom wouldn’t want a Burberry inspired label on her lunch tote when she takes leftovers to the office?

The “why didn’t I ever think of that” factor is Oliver's Labels Found-It Tracking System, an online tracking code that helps you track down lost items via your e-mail address. Having the code printed on your Oliver’s Labels is completely optional and is a free service. Frankly I think it is a must do for kids’ items. I put one on my 7-year-old's Nintendo DS and it’s a relief to know that should she ever leave it somewhere, someone can log on to the Oliver’s Labels website and contact us through the tracking code. Oliver’s Labels acts as an intermediary between you and the finder so your personal information is never shared.
