Updated pseudo elements to add an "x" when checked. And using body:nth-of-type to hopefully make sure these only affect browers that support it.
body:nth-of-type(1) input[type="checkbox"] { display: none; }
body:nth-of-type(1) input[type="checkbox"] + label:before {
content: "\00a0"; /* character: space */
background: #999;
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 16px;
margin-right: 10px;
padding: 0 0 0 0px;
text-align: center;
}
body:nth-of-type(1) input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label:before {
content: "\00D7"; /* character: "times" symbol (and "x") */
}

The for attribute of a label should refer to the id of the checkbox, otherwise clicking the label does not toggle it.
I faced problem with LABEL FOR in case of dynamically generating content. Adding pair LABEL FOR+ INPUT doesn't work correctly due of all the generated blocks are contains LABELS with same id. So we have to use another identifier for LABEL instead of id. In other words that way doesn't fit for dynamically generated content.
@v-bezborodov sorry for gravedigging but I think that's important to keep in mind: IDs are not meant to be duplicate anywhere in the same document. They are like fingerprints and shouldn't be present on different peoples' hands.
Using pseudo elements doesn't leave you with a tiny label:
