I’ve put together a roundup of 14 great ideas for homemade DIY Christmas gift tags, some of these ideas have free printables to make life super easy.
Homemade DIY Christmas gift tags
Gift tags on Christmas presents are the simplest thing.
But with just the teeniest bit of thought and effort they can transform the look of a gift and the spirit in which it is received.
When we were kids my mum always made the Christmas gift tags from last year’s Christmas cards.
Which I think is such a lovely frugal tradition.
This year I’ve been exploring a whole load of gorgeous ideas for home made Christmas gift tags from printed linen to tea stained “vintaged” tags via photo tags, adorable little herb rings and fabulous printables.
I am not quite sure which we are going to go for yet but I am loving so many it’s going to be hard to choose.

Buying gifts for boys can be tricky sometimes. Boys quite often want to have the latest “cool” toys, and you may not always be sure what is hot this season. Christmas Gift Baskets
