Dymo is Dynamo!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

DYMOThe Dymo LetraTag Labelmaker had to be the very first product review in my FINDS on the site! Truly, it is the one tool I cannot live without. Anyone who is serious about getting organized and simplifying their space NEEDS this product.

Once the DYMO labelmaker is in your hot little hands, you will actively search for things that you need to put labels on, very soon your home and office will be the mecca of organization! One attractive feature in this model, is that the DYMO LetraTag is very easy to use, anyone can do it! It also features an ABC keyboard and large display for accuracy. Hot tip from Maja: just make sure you buy the right tape: paper labels should only go on paper (only use them if you never need to peel it off). For everything else plastic is the way to go (it is the only one I ever buy.) 

The DYMO Labelmaker is perfect for your filing cabinet, toy closet, bins, spice cupboard, electrical box, shelves, storage boxes… the list goes on.  It is one of the most important tools to help you AND your family - so they can be on board with your new, highly efficient and organized self!  When you first pick one up, buy at least 2-3 packages of the label tape, otherwise you will be heading back to the store just a few days later because you will be labeling everything! Prepare for the addiction. It retails for approx. $35 Canadian and is available at Office Depot as well as Grand and Toy and various other office supply stores. Additionally the label tape is about $10 per package, and the machine requires 6 AA batteries that are not included. Happy Labelling!
