For
the holidays or any other time that requires you to label
a mass amount of gifts, buying nice gift tags from a
store
is an easy bet. However, for a birthday or other more
personal event, something involving a little more thought
is nice.
Postcard
Do
you collect these while you're on trips? Maybe you should
start, as they're great for more things than mailing. Stick
to beautiful fronts involving scenery or color,
without text. Scalloped edges also look particularly
attractive.
Notecard
and Envelope
Instead
of relying on a store-bought sentiment card, create your
own personalized one using a pretty notecard and
envelope. The recipient will appreciate a
few personal lines instead of just "Happy
Birthday."
Placecard
If
your gift is going to be perched in a place where it's
unlikely to be disturbed until opening (such as a gift
table), a
placecard sitting atop the gift in a holder
is a cute way to label it. Choose something
that coordinates thematically
with your gift and/or your wrapping ensemble.
