Gift Tag Ideas
If wrapped well and presented with heartiest wishes, even the smallest of gifts can look amazing and make the person feel valued.

Or worse, download some free printable ones from the Internet, which by the way anyone and everyone does! Little do we realize that by being a little bit creative and of course making some efforts, we can make some awesome looking gift tags right at home! Scroll down for some unique ideas...
Leafy...
A creative way to make gift tags is to shape them after leaves. So get some different shaped leaves such as maple leaves. Next, keep them on a card stock paper and draw the boundaries with a pencil. Now, cut the paper into a leaf shape with scissors. In the end, draw the leaf veins, midrib on one side and color it green. Write your message or a wish on the other side. And voila! You have a leafy green gift tag ready! It's a perfect one for all the nature lovers amongst your friends and family!
Garlanded...
Take colored foam of three different colors and make one and a half inches flowers with them. Next, paste these flowers on the gift in such a way that they look like a small garland. In the end, write the person's name and your message in the center of this garland. This is a good choice for anniversary gifts or wedding gifts. If the couple is very close to you, you can even stick a small photograph of theirs along with the names in this beautiful garland!
Starry...
Another unique idea is to cut card stock paper in the shape of a star. Next, decorate it with multicolored beads, rhinestones, stickers and sequins. Or you can even write the person's name using the same things. This starry gift tag is a perfect choice for a teen girl to make her feel like a princess!
Bookmarked...
Make them in the shape of bookmarks. Start by cutting a card stock paper into a rectangle of size eight inches by two inches. Next, punch a hole on top. With multicolored markers, draw a number of small geometric shapes on it. In the end, take a woolen thread, put it across the hole and tie its ends into a knot. Bookmarks make for great gift tags for kids as they would be thrilled at receiving not one but two gifts!
Hearty...
If you are looking for some romantic gift tags, then this one fits the bill perfectly. Take red colored felt and cut it in the shape of a heart. Next, sew a white lace all around the heart, at the boundaries. In the middle of the heart, write "Be Mine" by cutting alphabets from a white ribbon and then pasting them onto the felt!
Hands-on...
A fun way to create holiday gift tags is to give them the shape of your hand. If it's a kid's hand, even better, cause then you will have the perfectly sized gift tags! Start with keeping the hand on a card stock paper. Next draw the outline with a pencil and cut the hand shape with scissors. Write your message on the "palm". On the "fingertips", make five small faces by adding eyes, nose and lips to each of them! This is perfect when attached to Christmas gifts, especially those that are meant for the children.
By making gift tags yourself, you are telling the person how special they are for you. So if you want to make your gift stand out from the rest, use any of these unique gift ideas and create gift tags for your special ones yourself!
