or like i guess i could get the tape roll for black labels and use the one mom has at work, that's also an option because I don't like the white labels. they give me weird vibes.

yeah, like mom is the one shaming me when I spend too much money like I need her to ground me when I keep living on the internet because dad is just stoking my interests. This is actually a good example, OP being mom and dad being:

me: "dad, i want ice cream molds but they are expensive"
dad: "how much do they cost?"
me: "like 400.-"
dad: "that's not a lot when you're not paying rent."
me: "that's sorta true"

Just. Stickers and a marker? Do people not use stickers and a marker? We have blank white stickers for when you need to label things, I guess. I mean, we also use tape, that too.

I haven't used stickers like that since middle school. You just unlocked a new option.

i don't want the plastic\silicone ones sad

i'm sorta considering getting some plastic ones secondhand (tupperwear) but i'm also like, i don't wanna inhale and eat more plastic than I have to. I think I just like those in tupperwear because we used to have the exact same when I was a child.

Omg and you unlocked an old memory, when I was in primary school having like, themed stickers to write your name on your books and notebooks was a big thing and one year my friend and I who were both huge Harry Potter nerds made our own with different harry potter characters, I still have it somewhere maybe, god knows where though. Anyway the year after that a kid in my class who knew I really liked the Beatles and had some Beatles name stickers asked me if I wanted to trade them and I was like hell yeah, trade you for loquats from me garden and he was like hell yeah so I traded fruit for Beatles stickers.
