I ordered two dog tags because the first one was too big. The text on the back is far too small on both so they were both not useable. They look great but cannot read the mobile number should my dog be lost - is too tiny to read. Customer Service was great- the product not ideal.
Got some issues with my order, but I am happy with the customer service team offering help. As a repeat customer, their product quality is always amazing, I particularly love the personalised food jars (I have got 4 already for my kids). Show reply
I bought the clothing labels, very cute and easy to apply however even when using only gentle, cold washes, the labels have flaked off after 3-4 wears. Quite disappointing.

Hippo Blue Name Stamp - thumbs up! – Love this product so much. It helps me alot! My little one is starting kindy next year and going to childcare this year, this is so useful and mess free! No more ugly writings (hehe), no more stickers that needs to be ironed in the clothes, this is easy as 1- open, 2- punch in and done! It's laundry proof too! And survived the dryer as well! I love how easy and useful this tool is. I just stamped it everywhere! Show reply
Bright catchy shark labels – Kids absolutely loved their new baby shark labels, specially 2 yo obsessed with sharks. They are bright and catchy and stick perfectly well. Love that there are separate stick on and iron on labels. I have tried them on hats, jackets, bottles, shoes and they do not come off. Best part is I can sit with kids and customise the labels together on Hippo Blue website. Show reply
School labels rub off within one day!! So disappointing. Will never buy from this company again. They have cool designs but the quality is disgraceful especially with the cost paid. All her pens at school no longer has her name visible. Edit: customer support contacted me about my review and refunded my money. Excellent customer service which I didn’t expect.

Day three of using a custom lunch bag and the print has already come off. Customer service staff say it’s normal wear and tear. I don’t believe it’s fit for purpose if the print quality and durability is this poor. Won’t be shopping with Hippo Blue ever again and suggest others steer clear! Edit: 4 months later they have actually sent me a replacement. I’m happy to change my 1 star review to 3 stars. Better late than never!

Bought the clothes stamps. Did about 20 pieces of clothes until I realised that the ink leaked through to the other side. I have bought clothes stamps from other companies and this never happened. Would not buy again

Disappointing customer service experience. On the day I placed my order, I spoke with customer service and explained that I would like to pick up the items if they were ready within 3 days. I was advised this would be fine. Unfortunately, the items were not ready in that timeframe (which I completely understood), so I then requested for the order… Read more
to be posted instead.
After that request, I received no response for over a week and had to continually follow up just to get an update. When I finally got a response, I was told the items were ready for pickup, despite the fact that I had already clearly requested postage and had arranged for that to happen.
I was dealing with [Name Removed], and unfortunately his responses felt very generic and AI-generated, with little acknowledgment of what I was actually asking for. It didn’t feel like my requests were being read or properly listened to at all.
Overall, the lack of communication and poor follow-up made this a frustrating experience. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t purchase from Hippo Blue again.

Hippo Blue Name Stamp! – A really neat tool for putting names onto your children’s clothes. I love the idea but probably doesn’t work as well as I would’ve liked. I find that it wasn’t as easy to find a suitable surface to stamp on e.g doesn’t work well with clothes that are too textured and tags aren’t often big enough. I find it’s a bit of a guessing game to get the… Read more · 1
stamp centred. I’ve had the tag get pulled up into the cartridge as well? Perhaps I’m not using it properly?
Some pros: • convenient refillable ink • simple easy packaging • mess free • ink doesn’t go through the fabric like my other one
Some cons: • I personally think the price is a little high considering it doesn’t work as well for me • doesn’t work on all surfaces /often hard to find a suitable surface • inconsistent printing • sometimes the edge gets printed on the clothes?
I would still recommend it to people if they have a use for it, but personally many of my sons clothes are textured (fluffy, ribbed etc) which doesn’t work as well.

A Must Have! – I couldn't be happier with my Hippo Blue Name Stamp—it’s been a total lifesaver! As a parent, labeling my kids' clothing used to be a time-consuming task, especially with iron-on labels that would eventually fall off or start peeling after a few washes. The stamp has completely changed that. It’s quick, easy to use, and the ink is surprisingly… Read more · 1
durable - so far has lasted a few washes.
One of my initial concerns was whether the black ink would show up clearly on darker clothing, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ink is vibrant enough to be easily visible on almost any fabric. I’ve been using it on everything from t-shirts to jackets and even socks, and it holds up well. Another big plus is how much time it saves me in the mornings when I’m getting the kids ready for school—I just stamp and go!
I would absolutely recommend this product to any parent with kids heading off to pre-school or primary school. Not only does it eliminate the need for tedious iron-on or sew-in labels, but it also ensures their belongings are clearly marked, which is so helpful for keeping track of things. Overall, it’s been a game changer for me, and I can’t imagine going back to the old way of labeling!

Great product & customer service was amazing! My stickers arrived wet in the mail and I messaged on instagram some photos and explained what had happened and they got back to me right away and have sent out a replacement. Will definitely be purchasing again ! Show reply
I've purchased 2 personalised bottles and the quality has been great we are on year 3 with them and the only one that's had damage is from my youngest who likes to break lids (leaving the straw lid open and throwing them) and officially broke the internal wall somehow (after being thrown) they still stay cold the whole day. I just ordered two more… Read more · 1
and had a technical glitch where somehow the Skye waterbottle with Teal lid changed to navy in my conformation email. I immediately emailed them to explain the situation where we figured out it was a technical issue. Kim was very understanding and after some back and forth trying to figure out what was going on and Kim getting all the info she needed she was able to correct the issue. Her customer services was amazing and it's great to see companies with excellent customer service especially when it's when things have gone wrong.
Exceptional customer service – I recently purchased name labels from Blue Hippo, and I couldn't be more impressed! The labels themselves are of fantastic quality – durable, clear, and easy to use. What truly stood out, however, was their exceptional customer service. My original order got lost in transit, but Blue Hippo quickly responded and sent out a replacement via… Read more · 1
registered post at no extra cost. The level of care and responsiveness they provided was beyond what I expected. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of reliable, high-quality name labels and outstanding customer support!

I ordered tangled stickers and even took a screenshot of that and once paid for, I received an email saying I ordered the mermaid and I emailed immediately to the company and they wouldn’t let me change it and ignored my second email. I was kind in all emails so no need to ignore a paying customer

Love the stickers, however the Junior Drink Bottles are flimsy. Our toddler has now broken 2 lids. He isn't rough with his drink bottles, just from normal drops off the table. None of his other drink bottles from other brands have broken. Replacement lids are available for purchase, however are $15 + postage, meaning it is more cost effective just to buy another drink bottle elsewhere.

I recently placed an order and was disappointed with the quality of the labels. Both the clothing labels and the adhesive labels for bottles and containers did not meet my expectations. Most of the clothing labels started coming off after just a few washes, which was especially frustrating. I’ve used another company in the past without any… Read more
issues, but I wanted to try this one to see if it might be a good alternative. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I won’t be ordering again and will be returning to my usual provider.

Purchased a drink bottle before Christmas and the lid was faulty. No big deal it happens, requested a replacement be sent (17/12/25) by January 7th 2026 nothing had arrived.

It has officially been over a month of not being able to use the product I have purchased. Quite disappointing as although I like the look of what I ordered the quality is certainly not there, especially for the price.

I ordered three packs of labels for three children. When they finally arrived my jaw dropped at the quality. I have previously bought labels from different brands and was very happy with the quality but I was after particular colours and mistakenly assumed that the quality would be comparable across similar price points. Wrong. One pack was clear… Read more
to read, the others were blurry. All of them look very cheaply printed and I’m embarrassed to put them on my kids items which I’ll need to do temporarily before new ones arrived because I hadn’t anticipated them taking forever to be sent nor the shocking quality. I’ll be going back to Stuck On You. Vastly better quality. I’ll put up with fewer colour choices.

I got given a name stamp the ink did not go into it. I had to show a video of me trying to get it in. In the end they gave me another one. Same issue. Now I have ink all over my hands and two faulty stampers. Take a leaf out of tiny me and have the ink already in them!!

Ordered well in time for Christmas on 27/11 - wondered why my order hadn’t been shipped yet and they had sent me a message via the portal (which doesn’t send notifications that you have a message) instead of emailing me to ask a question about personalisation. I then asked if they can get my order sent in time for Christmas and they just cancelled it! Will not be ordering anything from them again. Really poor customer service.

Terrible - ordered Santa letters after reading on website they would be dispatched in 2 to 4 days. I contacted customer service after this time had passed, they were not helpful at all. More time passed and items still not dispatched so I opened a case with PayPal and got my money back immediately and bought elsewhere. Do not state one thing on your website especially regarding Santa letters for children and then do the opposite!

Lunch boxes are good quality and very useful. But be prepared to either throw out your existing one or buy a whole new set when it comes to purchasing additonal discs or tray inserts for it. A product redesign every few years means that any historic purchases are no longer compatible with their replacement stock.
I have noticed a downgrade in the quality of their sticker labels this year 2025 compared to few years back. The quality now has gone down hill even the printing too. Not so happy with the recent orders i made this year. I wont reconmend this anymore for anyone

**1-Star Review: Misleading Pricing and Fraudulent Checkout Practices** I am absolutely appalled by my experience with this company. The product I wanted was advertised on their website at a clear 20% off, but when I proceeded to checkout, the total magically increased back to full price without any explanation. This is textbook bait-and-switch… Read more
tactics—lure customers in with a fake price, then jack it up at the last second.
When I tried to contact customer service, they brushed it off as a "technical glitch." Technical glitch? More like deliberate fraud.
The reply also state bottles are not on sale, which is clearly not true as the other bottles I purchased were discounted.
Misleading customers with false pricing is not only unethical but potentially illegal. Do NOT trust the prices listed on their site—they’re clearly not honoring them. Save yourself the frustration and shop elsewhere. Shame on this company for exploiting its customers.
They’ve since "fixed" the price, but refused to refund the difference. Zero integrity.

I bought a clothing name stamp and a variety of labels for daycare. The stamp I would NOT recommend as after one wash it is unreadable on my little ones clothing tags.

I put new stickers on above the water line however these claim to be dishwasher safe and I feel they would have peeled in the dishwasher if that is what I used to clean. I’m happy with the look of everything but wouldn’t buy the stamp and question the durability of the stickers.
