Do you spend a lot of time wrapping and making your gift so pretty? Is your gift the first one picked at a gift exchange? Or is it the poor sorry looking one that even you have disowned it?
And everyone is much more excited about an actual wrapped gift then one shoved into a giftbag?
I was out and found some neat ideas from Country Living magazine, I always hand made my name tags, some times not by choice,
A name tag provides the perfect finishing touch on any gift; combine new and old materials to create a vintage effect.
A simple approach to tags, such as these white- and brown paper examples, can be found at flea markets as well as office-supply stores. The designs have changed little over the years, so even new purchases will have a vintage feel.
Feeling creative? Plain paper goods become novel name tags with the help of a hole puncher. The brown-and-white coasters shown here are a case in point. Other ideas include bookplates, place cards, vintage postcards, and the self-adhesive labels for jelly jars.
Personalize tags with rubber stamps, holiday stickers, and other items available in stationery and craft stores. Secure them to the boxes using a length of vintage ribbon, bakery string, or jewel-toned embroidery thread.
And when it is time to wrap the gift, how about using some fun rag ribbon? Ribbon torn from cloth for the the bow. That would look so shappy and vintage!
Try wrapping your gifts in plain white paper and use fun embellishments or rubber stamps to add color.
The ribbon with the pompons hanging off , fun ric rack, velvet ribbon!
Also you could always use a mini ball ornament as a tie on.
Wow I better go wrap some gifts.
