Popular with domestic goddesses and decluttering gurus such as Mrs Hinch and Stacey Solomon, a labelling machine is also a welcome addition for those whose handwriting is as legible as the average GP. Other label makers use embossing to make their mark, meaning you’ll need to buy a supply of tape and ribbon for this to work – although the vintage effect offered by such models is incredibly appealing.

If you've got grand plans to declutter your home and streamline your storage system in the months ahead, a labelling machine is an essential bit of kit.

Fear not. We’ve done the donkey work and sifted through the labelling machines on offer to find the best for all budgets and tastes. Read on to begin organising your home for a simpler life today.
