Although daubers fall under the category of bingo supplies, they have become so popular and varied that they are practically their own section of bingo. For those who don’t know, daubers are used to mark the numbers that are called during a bingo game. Some people prefer them to chips because they paint the number. Chips present the risk of bumping the board and losing track of what was called: daubers eliminate this risk.

Daubers generally come in plenty of colors including fluorescents. They also come in varied shapes and sizes. The bottles come in varied sizes for convenience. Some are thinner so that players can grasp them more easily. Each player has to find his or her best dauber shape. Mini daubers are also convenient for players on the go. Some daubers are also refillable and players can buy special bottles of ink for this purpose.

One of the more recent dauber trends is shaped bottles. There are patriotic daubers that are shaped like Uncle Sam and Betsey Ross. Daubers also come shaped like circus animals and clowns. One line of daubers even comes in the shape of male strippers. Elvis daubers come complete with shots of The King on them. Three Stooges daubers are available in sets. Betty Boop daubers and “I Love Lucy” daubers showcase photos of the famous ladies. Cartoon lovers can also find daubers with Ziggy, Blondie, Dagwood, Popeye and Beetle Bailey.

Daubers also come in varieties geared to holidays. For Easter daubers are shaped like bunnies and chicks. Some say, “Happy Easter.” The stamps match the design on the bottle, also bunnies and chicks. For St. Patrick’s Day daubers come in the form of leprechauns and some say, “Kiss Me I’m Irish.” Christmas daubers appear in many forms such as Santa, reindeer, snowmen, elves and soldiers. Mothers Day daubers feature flowers and a message for mom. Happy Daubers are the perfect gift for any bingo fanatic.

People who want to bring a sense of individuality to everything they do will love ordering custom ink labels. Players can choose from various patterns and colors. They can even choose the writing or artwork on the dauber. Personalized daubers are also a great gift for fans of the game.
