Hi ladies, my DD is off to daycare in a couple of weeks. I'm supposed to tag all her belongings with her name but I'm not sure how/with what...
I'd love to get some advice on how you all did it. Thanks in advance!

You can get iron on labels and use a vivid to write the name/details on.
You could sew the name on too ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I started off using the labels that you iron on, but got sick of doing that...so in the end I used the laundry marker pen. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

| Thanks ladies, I'll try the IdentityDirect labels and see how I go. May be a silly question but can they be removed at a later date or do they stick for good? |

I just use a laundry marker from the supermarket - she has a LOT of clothes etc to label!! I keep it in the draw of her dresser so that when she has new clothes I just label them as I put them away for the first time. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I use name it labels http://www.nameit.co.nz/ - NameIt
They're probably much the same as the other company. I find these guys fast and simple. I've got iron-on, sew-on, and stickers (for bottles etc). ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I've found ball point pen to work just as well as anything more expensive. I just mark all the labels with G's initials in pen and the insides of her shoes. Socks is the one thing i have issues naming but she has only ever lost one. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Also, I've labelled everything just with our surname. I thought about using DD's initials but there is another kid with the same initials and I figure if I just use our surname then everything is appropriately labelled for #2 as well  ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

I just used a vivid and wrote is name on his bag and on the tag of all all clothes, on the inside of his hat and his drink bottle
Cheap and works just fine |
