Gift Ideas and Printable Tags


Something I love to do is create digital graphics and printables. I get this desire to create from my mama. She is great at creating cards, scrapbook pages, and anything else that would be considered crafty. I dabble in that myself, but I have come to really enjoy creating pretty things using my computer. It's never anything very fancy, and I don't usually build the elements (pictures) myself, but it's a fun, creative outlet for me. I thought I'd share some of it with you today. These are all FREE for personal use only. Please don't sell them.

I also love gifts and puns! The puns inspired these fun gift ideas. There is a single tag option for one gift and to customize printing size, or a full page option below each one for multiple gifts. (Disclaimer: I was running low on blue ink when I printed these, so there wouldn't normally be those terrible lines you see in the photos with books, but I didn't notice until I had printed them all...) 


Up first:
 
Book Tag:

This can really go with any favorite book. I like to pair it with The Story of Inventions to also subtly say "You're my favorite invention", plus it's such a fun book full of interesting stories! I printed the tag, used colored staples to mount it on colored cardstock, punched a hole and tied it on with cute ribbon.





This next one was inspired because of an awesome Fall Frenzy sale happening now (October 2017) on coloring books (and more!) on my website. The tag and saying was inspired by The Gifty Girl. I saw the idea on her Instagram, but when I jumped over to her website I could not find the tag, soooo I decided to make my own. Check out her site though, lots of amazingly easy gift ideas with tags.


Colorful:

Coloring books with markers/colored pencils are one of my favorite gifts to give. 
This bright tag will bring it all together. Find pages of high-quality coloring books HERE.
Add your favorite coloring utensils with a cute coloring book, tie together with ribbon, and you're all set!






This next one was inspired by my own birthday and my love of cookbooks. 


Whisk Birthday:


You can of course use your favorite cookbook or even just kitchen tools. Make sure you include a whisk or it won't make sense! I highly recommend this Start to Cook book for beginning cooks of any age. (Kids, college students, newlyweds, cookbook hoarders like me...)
The pictures are cute and the recipe instructions simple to understand and follow.




Up next: A Christmas version of the Whisk gift.

Whisk Christmas:

This was probably my favorite pun of the group! There are so many cute options for this as well. The Christmas Baking Kit is cute and helps build a fun holiday baking tradition. It comes with cookie cutters and cupcake liners as well. You can never have too many whisks in my opinion.





Up next:


Gum:

I really like this idea for reluctant readers, or for classrooms! It would be a fun gift for a read-a-thon.
You can use a single pack of gum, cellophane bag filled with gum balls, or get them jumbo packs at Costco/Sam's Club for the gum lovers in your life.
For a more substantial gift, I like to attach the tag and treat to a fun story book. Shown here is the 10 More Ten-Minute Stories, and the pictures in it are beautiful! 



Last, but not least: A scripture version of the bubble gum gift

Scripture Gum:

Several years ago, I received this set of scriptures for my birthday, and it has been one of my favorite and most-used gifts! I remember receiving scripture study gum when I was younger also. It had a rhyme similar to this. (I found several versions of the rhyme on Pinterest and used them to create my own.) It would be a fun Primary/Sunday School/ Young Mens or Young Womens gift with just the gum, or for a baptism/bigger gift you could attach it to scriptures or scripture stickers.




Thanks for visiting! I hope this helps you with your next gifts. If you use any of these tags I'd love to see pictures and hear about it. Leave a comment/photo below.
