These allergy alert labels let everyone know what allergies they should be aware of. I would appreciate this, especially when kids are in a group setting. A lot of the young tykes in my life have long and ever-changing lists of allergies and it’s hard to keep up with all of them!
They’re really pricey though — $18.50 for a pack of 20? That’s almost a buck each! No word on whether they go through the dishwasher well either.
If your child has allergies, I suggest you just crib their idea and make a whole bunch of personalized allergy labels on your home computer — you can buy a whopping 750 blank neon-colored labels for your home printer at Office Depot for only $12.
That’s a savings of, uh, about a zillion percent.

I love the concept as my middle one is allergic to so much! The peanut allergy is the worst, but there’s more! Aren’t we lucky?
I was wondering if the stickies are easy to get off so that they can be used on washable sippy cups? Has anybody used them and removed them without leaving sticky glue?
I haven’t tried the Mabel labels, so I don’t know how easy they are to get off. But, if you are going to make your own, then Staples, Office Depot, and other places like that have removable labels for sale as well. So they stick tight but you can peel them off easily before putting the sippy cup in the dishwasher!

That’s funny…I usually look to see who each post is by, but this totally slipped by me!
Unfortunately, I think we’ll be investing in some “Dairy Allergy” labels for the Little Man.
