Some may think it’s lazy, but I would say it saves me a hassle when I use labels instead of writing out my return address. I mean, I already abbreviate my first name and as silly as it sounds, Piccadilly is not that easy to spell. I love it when they come for free in the mail (ok, I’m really supposed to make a contribution to whatever organization sent them) but there never seem to be enough of them.
Growing up my parents had lick and stick address labels but now you get to peel and stick them making them a million times better. No more gross after taste. On top of that, the variety is huge. You can get some that look formal, some that look funny and some that are just for Christmas cards with little effort, time and money on your part.
Maybe your address labels will inspire you to start a correspondence with someone just so you can send out some of your labels. Later you say, “Did you notice my address label?” and they say, “Why, yes. Quite striking indeed!”
You can also use return address labels as a substitute for duct tape because they stick so well. Or use them for labeling your books, but I prefer the duct tape method.
