A good gift tag is the smallest detail that makes a present feel considered. Here are twelve simple ideas, from what to write to how to tie it, plus printable tags you can make tonight.
12 Christmas gift tag ideas
- Match the tag to the paper. Kraft paper with a deep-green tag, or white paper with a berry-red one, instantly looks styled.
- Add a sprig. Tuck a little rosemary, pine or eucalyptus under the ribbon next to the tag.
- Use twine instead of ribbon for a calm, natural look.
- Write a one-line memory instead of just "To / From": "For the best walking partner."
- Theme each family. Snowflakes for one household, stars for another, so presents are easy to sort under the tree.
- Double as an ornament. Print on thick card, punch the hole, and the tag goes on the tree afterwards.
- Add a candy cane or cinnamon stick through the ribbon.
- Number the gifts for an advent-style unwrapping.
- Hide a clue on the back for kids to guess what's inside.
- Keep it to two colours plus gold for a modern look.
- Use a tag as a place card at Christmas dinner.
- Write a wish for the new year on the back.
What to write on a Christmas gift tag
- Merry Christmas, with love.
- Warm wishes this season.
- Something small, for someone who means a lot.
- Peace and light to you this Christmas.
- Open me first!
