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!

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!

Gratitude Jar Printables

November is a time to reflect and think about the things we are thankful for. It can be easy to forget sometimes, but taking a moment out of our busy lives to appreciate the things we have can help reduce stress and help us refocus on the things we have instead of lack.

For a festive activity for the kids, I thought it would be fun to take a jar and decorate it as a pumpkin and turn it into a gratitude jar. Print out the Gratitude Prompts, cut them out and place them in the jar. Each day, kids will be able to pull out a piece of paper and write what they are thankful for and place it back in the jar. Not only will you have a jar full of gratitude reminders, but it also serves as a cute decoration for your home!

Here’s what you’ll need:

Putting the gratitude jar is simple and kiddos will have fun with this fall craft!

  1. Paint the jar orange
  2. Paint the lid green or brown.
  3. Once the paint has dried, use hot glue to put the wooden spool on top of the jar.
  4. Grab some twine and cut enough to make a bow at the top.
  5. Print out and cut the Gratitude Prompt Printable.
  6. Hole punch the Gratitude Jar tag and tie it at the top to the wooden spool.
  7. Place the gratitude prompts inside the jar.

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.

Free Halloween Invitation – Printable and Digital

There’s less than 2 months until Halloween, can you believe it? We’re so excited to dress up and stuff our faces with Halloween candy. Since we’re quickly approaching Halloween season, that means (for some of us) party season!

Halloween parties are one of my favorites. It’s so fun to see friends and family dress up, especially the DIY costumes. My SIL flawlessly puts together her daughters halloween costumes pretty much every year and she pulls them off with such ease! They look amazing and I’m always so impressed.

When our oldest was born, we started to dress up as a family and we kept the tradition alive for a while. A few years ago, we made Harry Potter costumes, and I enlisted the help of my MIL to help make the robes for the 3 of them, among a few other things. That was the last year our kids ever dressed up in themed costumes, but it was one of my favorites!

If you’re planning a Halloween party this year, here’s a free invitation you can use to send to your friends/family! Either print out with the pdf and fill in the even details, or send out a digital version of it that you can edit yourself! Both options are simple and easy to use.

HOW TO EDIT THE DIGITAL HALLOWEEN INVITATION:

  • Click on this link to access the file on Canva: Digital Invitation
  • You’ll need to login in to Canva or sign up if you don’t already have an account.
  • Once you’ve logged in/signed up, you’ll be able to edit the design and put in your information for the event.
  • When you’re done editing, click on the “Share” button on the top right corner.
  • Click on the download button, and select the file you’d like to save it as.

When you’ve saved the invitation, you can send them digitally or print them and hand them out.

PRINTABLE HALLOWEEN INVITATION FILE:

If you want to go the handwritten route, here is the digital file that you can print and send to guests.

Have fun planning and have a happy and safe Halloween!

Halloween Hand Soap Printable Gift Tag

One of my favorite small gifts to give, especially during the holidays, is hand soap. We were just walking through TJ Maxx the other day and found all of these adorable Halloween hand soaps shaped in pumpkins & ghosts. It’s the perfect little gift to give individually or add in a “You’ve Been Booed” gift basket.

Adding these Halloween Hand Soap Gift Tags helps make this small gift even more fun to receive. Simply print out the gift tags on cardstock and add some cute Halloween Ribbon and you’ve got yourself the perfect little gift!

These gift tags pictured fit perfectly with any Bath and Body works soap, but work great with any soap bottle.

It may only be August, but I’m excited and ready for Halloween! Part of the reason may be because we live in Texas and am ready for the cooler temps, but I love this time of year. I love all the decorations, the get togethers, and all the food.

Chocolate is my biggest weakness and I struggle to say no to it. This is probably a big part of why I love this time of year so much. All of the sweets and did I mention the delicious food?

We’ve already started thinking about what costumes our kids are going to wear for Halloween, and at the moment they’re saying they’re sticking to what they’ve picked out this year. I highly doubt our 6 year old has completely made up her mind, but she has a couple more months to decide! We’re in no rush, but it’s fun to plan already.

I’m sharing these cute gift tags to attach to treat bags for school parties, party favors or to hand out for trick or treat-ers on Halloween! There are 3 different options to choose from! If you love all 3, print them all out. if there is one or two that match better with your party theme, there’s that option as well.

I’m using these Kraft Paper Treat Bags to fill small treats in and a small clothes pin to secure the tag to it. You could easily turn these gift tags into stickers or hole punch them through the tags and attach them to bags with ribbon.

Here’s what you’ll need to make these gift tags!
