AD| When I was a child at school I remember my mum sewing white tags into my clothes. They had my name embroidered in red capital letters and she would fix them onto my school jumpers, brownie uniform and dance clothes. That was before things like Trodat’s Stamp ‘N Stick personalised name stamp existed.

A lot has changed in the world since I was a child, but one thing is still true – kids lose stuff.
Children are wonderful in that they live in their own world blissfully unaware of what is going on around them. They put things down and walk away, they pick up their friend’s school jumper by mistake. They have the ability to make things disappear into thin air, leaving us parents scratching our heads. That’s why a personalised name stamp for their clothes and belongings is a perfect solution.
Trodat’s new Stamp ‘N Stick isn’t like any other name stamp you’ll find on the market. I’ve seen a few around but what makes Stamp ‘N Stick stand out from the rest is that you can personalise it yourself and change it as many times as you need, rather than order a stamp with one fixed name on it.
This means you can use it for multiple children (or even yourself) and you can use variations of your child’s name, nicknames or even just have a bit of fun with it!
As they get older, you can put their year group or class name on the stamp and it grows with them.
Let’s take a closer look at how it works.
Stamp ‘N Stick personalised name stamp

You get everything you need in the Stamp ‘N Stick box to get started straight away. Here’s what’s included:
- stamp
- ink pad
- stickers
- iron fleece
- letters and icons
- tweezers
There are simple instructions included, but it’s so easy to use. All you do is push the stamp down and slide the button on the back of the stamp to lock it. Then the stamp stays in position so you can add your letters using the tweezers. Once you’ve done, unlock the stamp, press it into the ink pad and give it a go!


As you can see from the photos, you get lots of letters and numbers you will be able to write your child’s full name and use it for multiple children. There are also cute little icons you can use on your stamp.
The stamp will create thousands of impressions (you can buy a refill kit!) and makes putting names on your child’s belongings quick and easy. It also comes with 30 durable stickers for harder-to-stamp products and 1m of white iron fleece for dark clothes.
The ink is dermatologically tested and is safe to use on fabrics that will be in contact with skin. It’s also waterproof up to 95c. The fleece is machine washable up to 60c and the stickers are dishwasher safe up to 75c meaning your stamps will last a long time on different items.

What things should I stamp?
The possibilities are endless. You can stamp anything you want! I’ve stamped Leo’s swim pants, hat, jumper, t-shirt and snack pot. Although Leo doesn’t go to school yet, he goes to many toddler groups where he may lose things! Having his name on his things means the people running his class can identify it as his, making it easier if he loses something and I need to call and ask if they have found it. It’s ideal for nursery, school, university or even at the office!
Here are some things you can stamp:
- clothes
- PE kit
- scarf
- hat
- gloves
- sun lotion
- water bottle
- lunch box
- pencil case
- stationary
- notebook
- backpack
- toys
The nature of the stamp means you can make it fun by allowing children to design it themselves and stamp their own things. When I was a child I loved stamps and I would have loved this. I would have stamped all my belongings. The Stick ‘N Stamp has that satisfying stamp click when you press down on it, too.



Other ways to use the Stick ‘N Stamp
Although the primary use of the Stick ‘N Stamp is to label your child’s clothing/items, you could use it in other fun ways!
- label food containers
- stamp names on Christmas gifts
- put your name on your mug at work
- if your children have the same toy, stamp them to identify whose is whose
- useful in crafting
- bullet journalling
- date stamp items quickly when batch cooking
- use in a houseshare to label your things
- label your chocolate bar to stop your husband from stealing it
That last one is my personal favourite!
As you can see, the Stamp ‘N Stick really is THE best personalised stamp on the market. It’s so versatile and can be used in so many different ways!

Ahh! What perfect timing. I’ve been looking into things like this for when Amelia goes back to school in September. I should have done it last year really, but never got around to it. Eeep! We were lucky though thankfully and didn’t have any lost items. I’l have a look at these!

This is great. When my littlest sister was in primary school and started secondary, my mum bought these stickers with her name on, but they never came off in the wash. This is a great idea too! Perfect for back to school! Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts.

This is awesome, I never used something like this before. But I would like to try it with my family.
Ah yes I remember the red sewn in labels! These sound fab though, love that you can change it so you could use them for multiple children!

This is such a great idea and so cute that you can add animals to your stickers too. Gosh I remember the endless sewing of names into my school uniform as well haha!
Wow, this is so cool! I love this. It feels like such an easy way to add a personalized, bespoke touch to clothes. Thank you for sharing!
This is such an amazing idea! I’ll defiantly be sharing this with my friends and family with little ones as I genuinely think they’ll find beneficial. Super cute with the animals. Thank you so much for sharing this with us lovely Xo

Ooh I love this! I remember the sewn on names all too well haha. This stamp is such a useful and fun alternative – I’d love one! The animals are so cute too. Thank you so much for sharing x
I still have a pack left over. The ones that never got sewn on. I’m just gutted that I didn’t come up with this invention myself.
What a brilliant idea this is! It’s so good to make sure that children have their names written on their clothes so they don’t lose them! x

I love this! I used to work in schools and nurseries and it was a constant struggle trying to find out which items belong to who x
