What Is a Gift Tag?

Finding the perfect gift for someone is extremely important – you always want the gift to be memorable and original. Equally important is the Gift Tag and the way the present is wrapped. The way you present the gift will be a reflection of the effort you have put in and your intention. Of course, it is true that the gift wrap will simply be ripped off and discarded, but if you take your time with this and make it look presentable it will definitely leave a great impression on the recipient. They will see the time and effort you have put into making the gift as attractive as possible – which is always a nice feeling.

How to Make a Gift Tag?

Before you begin to make the perfect Gift Tag you should consider who the gift is for and what occasion you are presenting the gift for. The answers to these questions may influence the type of Gift Tag you use, the design, and the colors. If your gift is for Christmas, you may want to use a mistletoe-shaped Gift Tag as well as the traditional red and green colors. If the gift is for a young girl on her birthday, you may opt to use pink and purple princess colors with lots of glitter and sparkles. Once you have decided on your Gift Tag design, you should consider personalizing by:

Perhaps you may want to add a photograph of the individual or maybe an image that is related to the gift or celebration;
You can include a short, sweet quote that is related to the celebration. Keep it minimal and avoid writing too much;
Include space to write the name of the person who the gift is intended for;
You can also leave space to write who the gift is from so that the person receiving the gift will be aware who exactly gave them a particular gift. It is useful for situations when the recipient could receive lots of gifts and may not exactly remember who has gifted what;
On the back of the Gift Tag, you can write a short congratulatory message or a wish for the individual;
Pay attention to Gift Tag printing, ensure you use good quality paper that will not only look more presentable, but will also be more durable and prone to ripping.

How to Attach a Gift Tag to a Bag?

After finally thinking about drafting, creating, and printing your unique Gift Tag, only one question will remain - just how can I attach it to a bag properly so that it will look presentable? Luckily, this is a lot easier than you may think. Follow our useful tips and hints on how to do this quickly and hassle-free:

You first need to create a little hole in the corner of the Gift Tag to put a piece of string through it. For an accurate and perfectly sized hole, use a hole puncher but do so with caution, you do not want to punch a hole through the design;
Cut off a piece of string that is long enough to poke through the hole and create a loop;
Tie both ends of your string to the handle of the bag and there you have it - an original, custom-made Gift Tag!
