How to make your gift tags?

  1. Choose a design. There are six styles, from classic Christmas to a plain minimal look.
  2. Type the names. Put one name per line in the โ€œToโ€ box. Each name gets its own tag, so you can do your whole gift list at once.
  3. Add a message. Write a short line such as โ€œMerry Christmasโ€ or โ€œHappy birthdayโ€, and add your own name under โ€œFromโ€.
  4. Style it. Pick a font, a tag shape and one of the 40+ icons.
  5. Print. Click the print button. Choose your printer, or choose โ€œSave as PDFโ€ to keep the file.

Printing tips for the best result

  • Use thick paper or light cardstock. It keeps tags from curling and holds a hole punch well.
  • Print at 100% / actual size, with โ€œfit to pageโ€ turned off, so the tags keep their size.
  • Cut along the dashed line with scissors or a paper trimmer, then punch the hole at the top.
  • Do a test print on plain paper first if youโ€™re using good cardstock.

Which style fits which occasion?

  • Christmas and winter: red and green or icy blue with a tree, snowflake or star icon.
  • Birthdays: the pink design with a balloon or cake icon.
  • Weddings and showers: the soft gold design with a heart or dove, which also works well on favors.
  • Kraft: a natural brown look that suits rustic wrapping, twine and homemade gifts.
  • Minimal: a clean black-and-white tag for work gifts or a modern look.

What to write on a gift tag

Short is best, since a tag is small. Some simple ideas:

  • Merry Christmas, enjoy!
  • Thinking of you.
  • Happy birthday, you deserve this.
  • With love, from all of us.
  • Just because.

For teachers, neighbors or coworkers, a simple โ€œThank youโ€ with your name looks thoughtful and takes no extra effort.

Ways to use your tags

Tags arenโ€™t only for wrapped boxes. Tie them to gift baskets, wine bottles, jars of homemade treats, party favors, bags, or a bouquet. Printing a full sheet also lets you label everything at once for a big family Christmas or a group of coworkers.
