What Can You Do With Extra Address Labels?

Use address labels for more than the return address on mail

Who needs to write a return address long hand when so many receive free address labels in the mail. Many order address labels to specific requirements. There are any number of ways to use those extra address labels.

Books and More

You've probably read a book, watched a DVD or listened to a CD and then loaned it to a friend -- never to see it again. Sticker your books, DVDs and CDs with those extra address labels before you loan them out. That will remind your friend where she got the item and to whom it should be returned.

Granny, Kids and Friends

Supply address labels to friends who move away, kids going away to college or granny, who finds addressing envelops by hand difficult. This ensures your address is not forgotten and, even in the Internet era, may prompt a letter the old fashioned way --- through the mail.

Store Sweekstakes

Keep extra address labels in your wallet or purse. Use them when filling out forms for store sweepstakes or contests. An address label will also do in a pinch to pass on your address if you are out of business cards.

Baking Pans

Baking pans, spoons and other items you sometimes take to a luncheon or potluck occasionally get misplaced or sent home with the wrong person. Use extra labels on the pans, dishes and spoons you took with your food to that community, family or church dinner.

Personal Items

Use labels to identify luggage, cameras, laptops and eyeglass cases.
