   Now that Ella is heading off to kindy I need to organise name labels for her clothes.
Is there a 'best' place to get these from, or an easy way to do it?
 I've seen some cool ones online (identity direct) but I'm not sure what is reasonable to pay?
 DH suggested getting a laundry marker and writing it on fabric strips, but I really can't be bothered cutting fabric into strips and writing it over and over! Not to mention, I'd have to write small and neat, neither of which I'm particularly good at!
 
 Help please!

   Do you know anyone who gets readers digest, they usually have those mail order forms where you can get labels, pens, pencils etc with your childs name on them.

   I got some from this place:
Stuck on You  and they are cool, and have lasted ages. I got the ones for lunchboxes etc though, but the quality is great    |

   I just get a laundry marker and write their names on the tags of the clothes, easy to see, easy to find for the teachers but not needing sewing or anything like that.

   I have just written our surname or a "Z" in the tag with a black vivid. |

   I've got the stuck on you ones and my ones stick really well. Shes in a uniform so everything has to be really clearly labelled so they don't get mixed up- plus you can get cute little pics and different colours. Charlottes are pink with a butterflies on them    |
