Free printable Christmas gift tags are an easy way to give your presents a thoughtful finishing touch without buying another pack of labels.
A little woodland animal, a vintage truck, or a bright sprig of holly can make even plain wrapping paper feel special.
This collection includes 61 printable tags across eight coordinated sheets, with different greetings on every page and space for handwritten names.
You will also find six easy handmade tag ideas using buttons, paper, and velvet scraps for gifts that deserve a personal touch.
Choose a Christmas Gift Tag Style That Suits Your Gifts
There is a style here for classic red-and-green wrapping, cozy children’s gifts, homemade treats, elegant jewel tones, and snowy winter packages.
Four printable sheets have labeled To and From lines, while four leave the writing areas blank so you can add names in your own way.
Choose one sheet for a coordinated stack of gifts, or mix a few designs while repeating the same ribbon color.

What You Need and How to Print Your Gift Tags
For the printable designs, gather white US Letter paper or printer-compatible cardstock, a color printer, scissors, a hole punch, a pen, and ribbon or string.
Cardstock makes a sturdier tag, but regular paper works when you glue it to a plain cardstock backing. Use a matte paper finish if you want to write directly on the printed face.
1. Click Download & Print beneath the sheet you want and save its PDF.
2. Open the PDF and choose US Letter, 8.5 × 11 inches, in your print settings.
3. Print at Actual Size or 100%. Turn off “Fit to Page” to preserve the intended tag dimensions.
4. Cut around each tag’s outside edge, then punch the small circle where one is provided.
5. Write the names before threading through ribbon, twine, or string and attaching the tag to your gift.
Most portrait tags are approximately 1.8–2.2 inches wide by 3 inches tall. The horizontal tags are about 3.3–3.4 inches wide by 2 inches tall, and the vintage labels are roughly 2.6 by 2.25 inches.

Free Printable Christmas Gift Tag Sheets
1. Classic Holly and Red Bow Christmas Gift Tags
These six classic tags bring together red bows, holly berries, golden bells, a poinsettia, a glowing lantern, and a bright cardinal. The red borders give the different illustrations a coordinated finish without making every tag look the same.
Greetings include “Merry Christmas,” “Season’s Greetings,” and “With Love,” so you can choose a message that suits each gift. Each tag has labeled To and From lines, making this a convenient sheet to use when you are wrapping several presents at once.
Pair the tags with plain cream paper, kraft wrap, or green gift bags and a narrow red ribbon. Print the sheet, cut around the outside borders, and punch the small marked circles before threading on your ribbon.
2. Cute Woodland Christmas Gift Tags
Little woodland friends give this nine-tag sheet a sweet, cozy feel. A bear, rabbit, fox, deer, owl, squirrel, and hedgehog appear alongside a penguin and snowman, with scarves, greenery, and tiny gifts tying the designs together.
The greetings vary from “Warm Wishes” to “For Someone Special,” giving the sheet a little personality beyond the illustrations. The open space beneath each greeting lets you add names without printed To and From labels.
These tags look lovely on children’s presents, small family gifts, and treat bags wrapped in simple paper. Write the names before attaching the tags, then finish with cotton string or red-and-white baker’s twine.
3. Vintage Truck and Christmas Delivery Tags
This sheet has eight horizontal tags featuring vintage trucks and station wagons carrying Christmas trees and wrapped presents. The mix of red, mint green, cream, and turquoise vehicles keeps the collection playful while maintaining its nostalgic style.
Messages such as “Special Delivery” and “Delivering Christmas Joy” make especially good companions for gifts arriving from far away. The To and From lines sit beside the artwork, keeping the names easy to find.
Try these tags with kraft paper, red plaid wrap, or a plain gift box tied with natural twine. Punch the circle at the left end and let the tag hang horizontally from the ribbon knot.
4. Elegant Jewel-Tone Christmas Gift Tags
Deep red, forest green, and navy backgrounds give these six tags a rich, elegant look. The illustrations include poinsettias, bells, a snowy church, a bird, a lantern, and a gold-colored deer.
Gold-colored borders and tiny stars repeat across the sheet, while different greetings give each tag its own finishing touch. The pale panel at the bottom provides a clear place for handwritten names, even on the darkest designs.
Pair these tags with solid wrapping paper and satin ribbon so the detailed illustrations remain visible. The gold effect is printed color rather than metallic foil, so ordinary color printing is all you need.
5. Gingerbread and Sweet Treat Gift Tags
Nine bakery-inspired tags make this sheet a cheerful choice for Christmas treats and small gifts. Gingerbread cookies, candy canes, hot cocoa, a Christmas pudding, and a cookie wreath give the designs plenty of variety.
The messages include “Baked with Love,” “Candy Cane Wishes,” and “Sweet Holiday Treats,” along with more general Christmas greetings. Use the food-specific messages for homemade cookies or fudge, and save “With Love” or “Warm Wishes” for other presents.
Each tag includes To and From lines beneath the decorative lettering. Tie a finished tag around a closed treat bag or attach it to the outside of a cookie box with red-and-white string.
6. Snowy Blue Winter Gift Tags
These eight horizontal tags offer a softer winter palette of icy blue, white, and silver-colored details. The artwork ranges from a snow globe and white deer to a snowy village, mittens, lantern, snowman, and a scarf-wearing polar bear.
Different greetings, including “Let It Snow” and “Stay Cozy,” suit the winter scenes without repeating the same message across the page. Blank writing areas on the right leave room for names or a short personal note.
Match these tags with white paper, pale blue ribbon, or navy gift bags for a coordinated winter look. Cut along the outside edges and thread narrow ribbon through the marked hole on the left.
7. Nostalgic Santa and Christmas Keepsake Tags
This six-tag sheet combines a vintage Santa portrait with bells, a snowman, a decorated tree, poinsettias, and a stack of gifts. Cream backgrounds and red-and-green borders make the designs feel warm and familiar.
Their broader, nearly square shape gives the illustrations room to shine without making the finished tags oversized. Each tag has its own greeting and labeled name lines beneath the artwork.
They work particularly well with plaid paper, kraft wrap, or a ribbon color picked from the illustration. Use a small piece of double-sided tape on the back if you prefer attaching these labels directly to a package instead of punching a hole.
8. Red and Green Folk-Art Christmas Gift Tags
Bold red and green motifs give these nine folk-art tags a lively, decorative look. Birds, reindeer, trees, stockings, stars, a little house, and a patterned heart appear among leafy sprigs and small golden accents.
The different greetings include “Shine Bright,” “Home for Christmas,” and “Peace & Joy,” making it easy to match a tag to its recipient. Clear space between the greeting and the lower floral border is reserved for handwritten names.
Use plain wrapping paper so the patterned artwork can stand out, or pick a small-scale print in one matching color. A simple cotton ribbon or baker’s twine is enough to finish the package without covering the tag.
9. Easy Handmade Christmas Gift Tags With Buttons, Paper, and Velvet
These six tags are handmade ideas to recreate, rather than a downloadable printable sheet. Simple button arrangements, cut-paper shapes, and small velvet scraps create the Christmas details without requiring elaborate stitching or special craft equipment.
Kraft cardstock gives the designs a warm background, while red, green, cream, and gold-colored accents keep them coordinated. Cut each tag about 2 × 3 inches, clip the top corners, and punch a hole near the upper edge.
Add your greeting to the front and write the recipient and sender names on the back, where there is more room. Use a little craft glue suited to your materials and let every tag dry fully before tying it to a gift.
Supplies: kraft cardstock, green/red/white buttons, green/red/brown/black/cream/gold-colored paper, red velvet scraps, scissors, a hole punch, craft glue, a fine black marker, and ribbon or twine. Felt can replace velvet if that is what you have available.
1. Button Christmas tree: Arrange five green buttons in a triangular tree shape, with one at the top and two in each lower row. Glue them down, add a small brown paper trunk, and finish with a gold-colored paper star. Write “Merry Christmas” underneath.
2. Button snowman: Stack three white buttons from small to large. Add a black paper hat, a tiny orange paper nose, and a short red velvet scarf. Draw the face with a fine marker and write “Let It Snow” below.
3. Button ornaments: Glue three red buttons at staggered heights. Draw a straight hanging string and a little bow above each one, then add “Christmas Joy” at the bottom.
4. Velvet Santa hat: Cut a small triangle from red velvet and glue it onto the tag. Add a cream paper strip along the bottom and a white button at the tip. Finish with “With Love.”
5. Cut-paper Christmas tree: Cut three green triangles in slightly different sizes and overlap them from largest at the bottom to smallest at the top. Add a brown paper trunk, red paper circles, and a gold-colored paper star. Write “Warm Wishes” beneath the tree.
6. Velvet gift: Glue a small red velvet square onto the tag. Cross two narrow cream paper strips over it, then make a small bow from two looped paper strips and a tiny center piece. Add “For You” underneath.
Keep the embellishments small and lightweight so the tag hangs neatly from the package. You can change the button colors, swap velvet for felt, or use leftover wrapping paper for the cut shapes. The designs work because of their simple Christmas silhouettes, so you do not need to copy every tiny detail perfectly.
Final Thoughts
A pretty tag can make a simple Christmas gift feel more personal. Choose a printable sheet that complements your wrapping, add the names by hand, and keep the rest of the package as simple or decorative as you like. If you have a few spare buttons or fabric scraps, make one of the handmade designs for an extra-special present. Whether you print a whole sheet or craft just a couple, the small finishing touches are often the ones people remember.
