🧧 What is a Pre-printed Gift Tag?
Tags that go on gifts typically have a short word or phrase on them and then a “to and from” space where you put the recipient’s name and then your name as the gift giver. The tag not only identifies the giver and receiver but exchanges a good will greeting.
Sometimes, however, you may want to make a gift tag or have one custom made. Knowing what pre-printed gift tags normally say on them will help you decide what to put on your creation.
🤔 Where Do Pre-printed Words Come From?
Have you ever wondered where pre-printed expressions come from? Some are really basic, and yes, some are downright boring. Others though, hit the nail on the head with well-crafted words that say the words that you wish you could have come up with.
Some people are born with the gift of gab and are able to work magic with words. If you’re not one of them, that’s alright. You can borrow from the best of them.
Creative writing teams and individuals who write words for gift tabs and even cards typically work for a company where tags are sold, like Hallmark or Café Press. Or, they can be freelancers who hire their services out on demand to gift tag designers.
Finally, there are those who make DIY gift tags complete with original sayings and sell them on platforms such as Etsy, eBay, or Amazon.
⚙️ Types of Tags for Gifts
From tags made by children (or those that look like they were) to beautiful DIY Pinterest-quality creations and those made by customized print shops, you’ll find there are a myriad of gift tag styles. And that’s good because gifts come in many types too and range from ultra-expensive to those that cost nothing but the time that was spent making them.
Gifts can be for special occasions such as Christmas, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Easter, graduation, baby showers, wedding showers, engagements, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs, get well, and baptism. Sometimes gifts are even given for no reason at all.
It’s not a bad idea to properly pair the gift you are giving to the tag you are gracing it with. If the gift you are giving is a diamond ring, you doubtfully want to use a gift tag with lame wording written in crayon. The same is true on the opposite side of the spectrum, you don’t want the gift tag to outshine the gift.
You’ll also want to make sure the wording on the gift tag goes along with the gift and the reason for the gift. You wouldn’t want your tag to say something like “enjoy your day and your gift” to someone who just lost a loved one. The personalization of the gift tag speaks volumes.
Wrapping it All Up
Gift tags are one of those things that can be underappreciated but when you pay them some attention, they shine in all their glory. With the suggestions you’ve now been given, it’s time to add the icing on the cake, spicing up your present with a gift tag with the perfect wording to add that special touch and to bring the recipient a heartfelt smile and warm wishes.
