As any mum who has ever rifled through the lost property box at school knows, kids lose stuff. A lot. I lost count of the times No 1 Son came home with someone else’s sweatshirt on after PE, and often the one he’d chosen to bring home wasn’t even the right size.

The only solution then is to label EVERYTHING at the start of each term – but I’ve always found sewing labels on to be very laborious work. You end up feeling like the Tailor of Gloucester. I have on occasion resorted to writing No 1 Son’s name in indelible ink – which doesn’t look great and also makes your wrist ache.

So I’m delighted to have discovered Attach-a-Tag, which is quite simply a genius way to label kids’ clothes. You tell them the name you want and they send you the fab little personalised tags, which you then put on the clothes with a very easy to use applicator (it’s also incredibly fun to use, don’t tell the kids.) No sewing, no ironing, no markers.

You can put them on bags, coats and sports kit, too. Clever, right? And SO easy. You’ll never need to rifle through that lost property box again.
