Night Before Christmas Gift Tags

The night before Christmas gift tradition is one that is popular in many homes. These “Night Before Christmas” gift tags will help you remember which gifts can be open before Christmas!

Growing up, my parents let us chose one gift we could open the night before Christmas. I loved this tradition and I’m glad it was something my husband’s family did as well. Their tradition was the “Night Before Christmas” pajamas, and we’ve stuck with that since we’ve been married. I love it and it’s something my kids look forward to every Christmas. We’ve done matching pajamas, themed pajamas, cozy pajamas, you name it! While they may know that they’re going to be opening a set of pajamas the night before Christmas, there’s still an element of surprise, and it’s one more sleep until Christmas!

If you ever have the problem of misplacing those gifts under the tree or forget which gifts are supposed to be open the day before, these gift tags are the perfect solution! Simply cut out the printable, and tape them onto the gift, or use a hole puncher at the top of the tag and tie it with ribbon. These will be a life saver when you’re searching for those gifts the night before!

“No Peeking” Christmas Gift Tags

In case your friends and family need a little reminder, these “No Peeking” gift tags are a fun little add on to your Christmas presents.

When my kids see the presents starting to pile up under the Christmas tree, they want to poke around and count the number of presents there are. Sometimes, they’ll even try to shake their gift and try to guess what it is. While this is pretty typical of my kids (if not all kids), it is definitely tempting for them to want to open a present now. They are definitely old enough to resist the urge at this point, but seeing their excitement is so much fun and I can’t wait to see their faces on Christmas day!

While many of us already know that we have to wait until Christmas to open up our gifts, adding these fun “No Peeking” gift tags add a little silliness to your presents. You can add just the “No Peeking” gift tag by itself, or pair it with the “Special Delivery” tag to add a whimsical touch to your presents.

Print these off easily at home on some cardstock and you’ve got yourself a fun set of gift cards your friends and family will adore!

Hot Chocolate + Cookies Gift Tags

Tis the season for gift giving! Whether you’re making a homemade treat or needing to put together a quick gift, these gift tags will help take your simple and delicious treats to the next level.

Our family, as many others, loves the tradition of making cookies and sharing them with friends and family. We have our go-to recipes, but my favorite thing to do is try a new Christmas cookie recipe each year. You will definitely see us whipping out our stretchy pants as we snack on sweet treats this holiday season! If you’re putting together a plate of cookies to share, make sure to grab some festive ribbon and add these cute cookie gift tags!

Or, if you want to pass out cookies individually, grab these 4″x6″ cellophane bags, and print out the cookie tags template on 3″ Avery Circle Labels. I love how the individual cookies look like they’re really from the North Pole!

My kids always want to give gifts to their friends, and while I love that they’re fully into the spirit of giving, it might break our bank if our 3 kids pass out a gift to all of their friends. What we’ve come up with is a simple and fun bag of treats. We usually stick a couple of hot chocolate packets, candy canes and small Christmas candy’s in a bag and tie it with a bow. Add this hot chocolate tag to your bag and you’ve got the perfect gift! Plus, hot chocolate and cookies pair perfectly together.

These make great gifts for teachers, friends, co-workers and neighbors! It’s easy and fun to put together and the person receiving these sweet treats will love the thought put into them. Hope you have an wonderful holiday season!

Christmas Hand Soap Printable Gift Tag

Soap can be a perfect gift for friends, neighbors and teachers! Add these Christmas Hand Soap printable gift tags to make it extra special!

If you know me, you know that I have a crazy obsession with Bath & Body Works! If you shop their sales, you always feel like you’ve shopped your way into a good deal. With the holidays quickly approaching, one of my favorite gifts to give is their Bath & Body Works soaps. Whenever there’s a deal on their soaps (which happens at least twice a month), I always try to snag a few more knowing that I’ll be gifting them down the road.

While their soaps already have cute designs that go with the seasons, I wanted to create a gift tag to tie around to give it a little extra “pizazz.” Print on cardstock, tie with a cute ribbon and you’ve created a thoughtful little gift!

Printable Advent Calendar + 30 Activity Ideas

*Post may contain affiliate links

We’ve reached the end of the year and the busiest season of the year! My kids ask every year for an advent calendar and they absolutely love it. We’ve done a variety of advent calendars: candy, socks, activities, you name it! I will admit, their favorite has definitely been the candy ones, but I know they also love getting into the holiday spirit with Christmas activities.

Here is an advent calendar that you can print off and use for years. Knowing that every year is going to be different, you can also change the text so that you can plan the activities based on your schedule. The text can be changed in Canva and is free and easy to use!

Here’s what you’re going to need:

How to put it together:

  1. Print out the Advent Calendar Cover on cardstock.
  2. Using a cutting mat and precision/exacto knife, start cutting 3 sides of each box on the Advent Calendar so that it opens up like a door. You don’t want to cut off all of the sides on each box.
  3. To print out and/or change the text on the Activity Page, go to Canva and edit the text on the template.
  4. To print out the Activity Page, select “Share” at the top right corner, choose Download and for file type, choose PDF Print. Once you’ve selected the file type, click download.
  5. Line the Advent Calendar and Activity Page behind it.
  6. If using a matted frame, tape the pages to the matte and line up the 2nd page. If using a frame without a matte, sides down to fit a 8×10 frame.

Santa Letter Printable

Printable-Dear-Santa-Letter

I’ve been wanting to make a Santa Letter Printable for a while, and my kids were so excited when I was finally done. They’ve been anxiously waiting to write Santa a letter and send it in the mail.

When I was helping my 3 year write his letter, I asked if he had been naughty or nice this year, and his first response was “Naughty.” It made me laugh, and he recognized that he definitely had some rough patches this year, but it was perfect to go over the things he was trying to improve on this year.

These letters are the perfect way to get your kids excited about Christmas and let Santa know what they’re wishing for this year. It’s super easy to put together and you don’t need an envelope since it’s a tri-fold letter!

Santa Letter

First you’ll need to print out the letter on both sides and trim it down.

Santa Letter Printable

Fold the letter twice so that the opening of the letter looks like the picture above.

Dear Santa Letter Printable

And the “to” and “from” side look like this.

Place a stamp on your card and they’re ready to send it off to Santa!

Christmas Card Tags

Let’s be honest, Christmas Cards can get pretty pricey and sometimes it cuts into our Christmas shopping budget. It definitely cuts into ours. Our middle child’s birthday is 3 days after Christmas, mine is 2 weeks after Christmas, and the oldest is at the end of January… see what I mean? I can’t afford to spend too much money on Christmas cards, but I don’t want to sacrifice the look of my cards either. Luckily, this little project will turn your favorite family photo into a cute and festive Christmas card, and it’ll save you some money. Intrigued? I’ll tell you how.

12 Days Christmas Card

I know Christmas was 2 weeks ago, but with all the hustle and bustle during last month I haven’t had a chance to share a project I worked on for my cousin. She came up with a fun way to share their year with a “12 Days of Christmas” card. I had so much fun creating this for her and loved the way it turned out! I’m thrilled she asked me to do this for her and her husband and was even more excited about it when I got it in the mail. Thanks Devon!
