I like to come up with a cohesive wrapping scheme each year for Christmas. That sounds fancier and more complicated than it is though; I just like for all of the presents to look nice together under our tree. This year’s wrapping paper will be in rich shades of brown, punctuated by minty green (because I think mint will look fantastic under our pink tree!).
I designed these gift tags to use for our presents, and you’re welcome to download and print them for your gifts as well. I’ve done monogram gift tags before, but those were hand-drawn and I wanted to do a new twist on them this year.
My years as a stationer have taught me a few tips about working with paper. If you have a paper cutter, you can cut the tags into three strips vertically to start. You could also use a ruler and an x-acto knife (or a box cutter, sharp razor, or rotary cutter). Then, keeping the tags in their strips, use an x-acto knife to cut slits along the tops and bottoms for ribbon to slide through. Doing so while they’re still in strips will make the paper a little easier to work with. Then use scissors to finish cutting out each tag. You could also use a hole punch at the top and bottom to thread thin ribbon through, or just punch a hole at the top to use these like more traditional gift tags.
And here’s another tip: When I have gifts for multiple people with the same initial (like August and Ashley), I write their name on the back of the present with a marker. I can usually remember which gift is which by the shape of the box, but it’s good to have the name on there too.
May your days be merry and bright!
Thank you so much for sharing. I am a sucker for all things stationery, gift giving, and special touches to gift giving. You have made my day! I will be using these! Oh, did I mention I also have a fascination with monograms?
Thank you! These are beautiful.
I love these! So pretty in mint. And great tip on cutting the slit for the ribbon first!
awesome! Thank you so much :)
These are adorable, thank you for sharing. Also, I love your house tour on Huff Post today!
Ooh! With craft paper wrapping! Lovely.
Love these! Thank you for creating and sharing!
Thankyou so much Nicole!! Just beautiful, and the perfect colour for my colour scheme this year!
I think these are my favourite thing you’ve given us so far. Thanks for sharing your gift for design with us, Nicole. It is appreciated!
Really, really cute.
These are so sweet, but oh my gosh, I LOVE your pink tree!
Oh these are beautiful, thank you so much for sharing them. I used wrap all my gifts the same, too! It was so much fun to plan what the theme would be, find all the materials and make it happen! I don’t give physical things so much anymore, except for babies and small children. Instead, for the Adults I make a donation to a charity in their name and give them a beautiful card explaining what the charity does. It frees up my creative impulses to do other things during the holidays! xox
These are lovely. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Nicole! I am a total sucker for monograms.
I love these! Can’t wait to use these on gifts, but may actually use them at our place settings somehow as well! :) Thanks so much. Cheers!
I’m going to have place cards next week. :)
Lovely as always, Nicole!! It’s always a bright part of my day to see what neat things you’ve been up to.
These are absolutely beautiful! Love the mint + brown scheme. Thanks!
Love the personalization with the monogram and can’t go wrong with mint!
These are so cute! I love them!! Thank you so much for sharing them. Hopefully no one else I know finds them… nothing better than looking super clever for such little effort. Will let people in on the secret once they’ve been amazed!
Superbeeeeeeeeeeeee merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
