Review: Kidecals personalized name labels

29 August, 2013 6 Comments

Kidecals.com sent me an “Everyday Set” of labels to review.

About:

Kidecals offers unique, personalized labels that stick to almost any surface. These name labels are waterproof, and can even go through the dishwasher and washing machine. See HERE for waterproof tips. Place Kidecal labels on items like water bottles, mittens, jackets, and anything that could be easily lost. You can also purchase wall decals from Kidecals, pantry jar labels, luggage labels, Apple keyboard stickers, allergy alerts, and more. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, contact Kidecals about making a custom project. Kidecals also offers free shipping, no matter the order.

Our Experiences:

I picked out and personalized an “Everyday Set” of name labels in the Green and Gray Boy design. The set comprises 12 two-inch labels and 24 one-inch labels, for a total of 36. I was skeptical that these labels would actually be waterproof, but so far all of them have stayed on through the dishwasher and the washing machine. I’ve used these stickers inside diaper bags, on sippy cups, thermoses, and insulated bags. When I put the sticker on the bottom of our Nuby Grip N’ Sip Cup, I couldn’t get it to lay flat (you can see in the photos below). I thought for sure that water would get under the crease when I put the cup through the dishwasher, causing the sticker to lose adhesiveness. But it came through the washer just fine, time and time again.

Overall, they work as expected; they peel off easily without leaving residue; they’re customizable; long-lasting; and inexpensive. Did I mention they’re made in the U.S.?

Review: recyclable, American-made kids iPad case

21 August, 2013 16 Comments

Apple Pie sent me two of their iPad cases to review.

About:

Apple Pie specializes in American brands. Their kids iPad case is durable, functional, and inexpensive. Like all their products, it’s made in the USA. The kids iPad case is made from recycled paper; when you’re finished with it, just toss it in the recycling bin, and you’re good to go. They’re designed to last six to 12 weeks, but change them out more often if you like.

Our Experiences:

I kept the white kids iPad case and gave the brown kraft case to my friend’s little girl. Here’s her personalization:

As you can see, she favored the “Sponge Bob sticker” look. =D

I gave the white iPad case to Baby J and supervised him as he used Crayola toddler markers to draw on and personalize his case. Here’s the result (I drew the doggie face):

Baby J had a blast decorating this! I was surprised at how sturdy this case is. I thought it would be pliable since it’s made with cardboard, but it’s actually quite stiff (a good thing for a tablet case). The case closes and is held shut by two tiny but strong hook & loop (Velcro) attachments. Although it’s designated as an iPad case for kids, I could really see teens and adults who like to doodle or design using this case.

These cases are sold in packs of three. Choose brown kraft or white. Currently, the packs are on sale for $16.99 (about $5.66 each). Since cases usually last two or three months each, one pack ($16.99) could last you nine months.

To learn more about the kids iPad cases, as well as other products Apple Pie has to offer, visit their webpage ApplePieUSA.com, Facebook, and Twitter.

Note: I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. The opinions expressed above are mine; they may differ from yours.
