Freebie! Printable Gift Tags for Mother’s Day

Free Printable Mother's Day Gift Tags by Fellow Fellow

Printable Mother’s Day Gift Tags, by Claire of Fellow Fellow

Hopefully you have your little something for Mother’s Day figured out by now (psst… if not you’ve got until Sunday). To dress up your gift, these tags by Fellow Fellow are the perfect finishing touch. And the best part? You only need a printer and some scissors to make them yours.

Appreciation for all things Fellow Fellow has become a trend around here. Claire’s creations have a beautiful simplicity about them, whether they be neon feathers, DIY planters, or these pretty Mother’s Day gift tags. Love how she’s layered a couple and chosen a simple bakers twine to tie them up. A spot of tape on the back works great too.

Head to Fellow Fellow to download a copy and complete your pretty package for Mom!

Bokeh Gift Tags: Free Printable Stickers

We had this crazy idea to make gift labels with bokeh images. Something fitting from Richie to Margot.

Why bokeh, you say? Because there’s something magical about it. It’s colorful, and dare I say, sparkly. I’m not talking sparkly like My Little Ponies, I’m talking sparkly like Japan through the lens of Sofia Coppola.

I don’t want to bore you with all the geeky technical details but I do want to show you how the gift tags turned out.

Wantist Bokeh Gift Tag Stickers

We (well mostly Jacob—he’s a keeper I tell ya) decided to format them for these square labels by Avery (22806) because they’re easy to use and print to the edge. You’ll find them at Amazon or your local office supply store.

All you have to do is:

I told you it was easy.

They’re perfect on everything from a wrapped box to a gift bag, even treat bags of homemade cookies. (I am so cool with it if you decide to send me some.)

Images used (left-to-right, top-to-bottom): D Sharon Pruitt, Sami, D Sharon Pruitt, Harsha K R, Parée, Leo Fung, Kevin Dooley, Neal Fowler, Andrew Czap, Ernst Vikne, Duncan Harris, Kevin Dooley.
