View Full Version : Do they still make the old style Label Maker?

I had one when I was younger. You have to turn the dial to the designated
letter and then click the handle. Do they still make these?

My kids are in love with my expensive Brothers label maker and I
thought they would get a kick out of the old school label maker.

I'm thinking ahead to putting it in their Easter baskets.

We have one from the last 4-5 years, so I imagine they might still make them. I have a Brother too ;) but DS loves the old school style one. I remember the one our family had when I was a kid ;)

I found this one http://www.amazon.com/Dymo-Express-trade-Handheld-Embosser/dp/B0000AQOD3/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1231898302&sr=1-2

Great idea, btw. My dd would totally flip over this. I may just have to steal your idea. :)

Those were so fun when I was a kid. Thanks for posting the link.

I will say my DS got really frustrated because he wanted to peel the labels by himself, and for some reason with the one we have, it seems very hard to actually separate the backing from the sticker, which causes drama for 4 year olds :rolleye0014:

Maybe we just got a craptastic model that doesn't cut it so that it easily separates ;) He does enjoy it though..he just gets mad when he can't peel it successfully by himself.

I found one made by Dymo. It is called the Label Buddy.
It says it is easy for children to use.

I was just in our office looking for something and I coincidentally found ours. That's what we have...the Label Buddy LOL.

Got the label buddy. DS loves it. It is a big hit around here. Mine actually came as a freebie with the label maker I got. I got it at Target last year.

Yup!!! My kids love it. The tape comes in a bunch of primary colors, so it adds to the fun. ;) Great idea for Valentine's Day or Easter.

I've been looking at Target the last few times I've been. Can't find one.

I'll have to go to Staples on Thursday when my kids are at school.

My Target had them on clearance right after the school year started.

The old plastic ones bring back so many memories. This would be good for helping my son to learn to spell. He also loves my Brother.
GREAT IDEA. THANK-YOU:bighand:

Staples or Office Max. MIL made my Christmas dreams come true and bought me the battery one. LOVE it. But when we went shopping they had the old fashioned ones.
