This set of holiday gift tags printable pages gives you 21 full sheets of winter tags built around snowflakes, cabins, skates and birds rather than the usual Santa imagery, so they work just as well for Hanukkah gifts, hostess presents and January birthdays as they do for Christmas. Each sheet holds three or four large blank tags in a different shape, scalloped, round, luggage, star and more, each one with a small snowy decoration tucked at a corner and plenty of blank space left to write on.
Print the sheets on printable sticker paper if you want a tag that sticks straight to the ribbon or box, or on matte cardstock if you plan to punch a hole and thread it on. Print at actual size rather than letting the printer scale to fit, and when you cut, leave a thin white edge around each tag so the ink never looks cropped.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Snowy Woodland Welcome
Start the set with a scalloped tag holding a frosty snowflake, a round tag with a snowy pine standing alone in the cold, and a luggage tag with a pair of knitted mittens tucked at the hole punch end.
These three read as a simple, unmistakably wintery trio, so they suit the plainest kraft-look wrapping just as well as a bright red bow. Use the mitten luggage tag on a hostess gift and save the snowflake scallop for something smaller, like a jar of jam or a sachet of tea.
Fill this sheet with an oval tag showing a chickadee perched on a birch twig, a round tag strung with hanging icicles, a ticket label topped with a steaming cup of cocoa, and a square tag with a single knitted hat.
Print this one on sticker paper if you want the chickadee tag to sit flat against a glass jar without curling at the edges. Pair it with Cardinal Drawing Ideas if you want more winter bird motifs for the rest of your cards this season.
Cabin and Cocoa Corner
Three cosy cabin tags fill this sheet: a luggage tag with a wooden sled resting in the snow, a round tag with a snow globe scene of a tiny cabin, and a rectangular label dotted with red winterberries along one edge.
Here a cloud-shaped tag catches falling snow, a round tag holds a pair of ice skates tied together, an arched tag glows with a lantern set in the snow, and a scalloped label carries a sprig of blue spruce.
Leave the thin white border around the cloud tag when you cut it out: the curved top is easy to round off by accident, so a craft knife helps you keep the scallop edge crisp on the label beside it. These pair well with gifts for a skating-loving friend or anyone who loves ice skating painting ideas.
A round tag carries a snowy owl with feathers fluffed against the cold, a luggage tag shows a log cabin with a thread of chimney smoke curling up, and an oval tag holds a pair of crossed snowshoes.
Frost and Firelight
This sheet leans into the quiet side of winter: a hexagon tag with a crystal snowflake drawn in fine detail, a round tag with a pale white deer standing still among the trees, a ticket label with the corner of a plaid blanket, and a square tag with a single pinecone.
The white deer tag works beautifully on its own as a card topper if you want to skip wrapping altogether. For more woodland animal inspiration to go with it, browse Deer Painting Ideas.
A mitten-shaped tag carries a Nordic knit pattern across its front, a round tag holds a candle burning inside a glass holder, and a scalloped tag is decorated with a small sprig of eucalyptus.
Four tags share this sheet: a luggage tag with a frosted window pane, a round tag with a teapot letting off a curl of steam, an oval tag with a pair of fluffy earmuffs, and a rectangular label with a snowman wearing a carrot nose.
If you are short on time, print just this sheet and skip the rest: between the window, the teapot and the snowman it covers almost every kind of winter gift on its own. Glue the sheet to plain paper first if your printer does not take sticker stock.
Winter Birds and Stars
A star-shaped tag holds a single ice crystal at its centre, a round tag shows a cardinal perched on fresh snow, and a banner label is trimmed with a sprig of frosted holly.
This sheet is the cosiest of the set: a round tag with a woolly sock hung as if by a fireplace, a luggage tag with a neat stack of firewood, an arched tag with a full moon over snowy hills, and a ticket label scattered with marshmallows.
Save this one for a tin of homemade cocoa mix or a bundle of fire-starter kindling as a hostess gift. The firewood luggage tag also doubles neatly as a plain label if you simply write a name across it.
A scalloped tag carries a single sleigh bell, a round tag holds a white poinsettia bloom, and an oval tag shows a silver bauble catching the light.
Quiet Garden Birds
A luggage tag here shows a snowy birdhouse with a light dusting on its roof, a round tag holds a small bluebird, a square tag carries a mug of tea, and a bracket label is drawn with a frozen pond.
Write a simple wish like “warm wishes” or “stay cosy” across the mug of tea tag, since the blank space sits right beside the handle. If garden birds are your favourite subject, the Bird Junk Journal pages make a good companion project.
A cloud-shaped tag holds a snowy mountain peak, a round tag shows a pair of crossed skis with poles, and a rectangular label carries a fir sprig studded with small cones.
Four tags fill this sheet: a round tag with a single white winter rose, a luggage tag with a knitted scarf laid in a loose curl, an oval tag with frosted cranberries clustered together, and a ticket label with a lit lamp post glowing against the dark.
The lamp post ticket label suits an evening gathering invitation just as well as a gift tag, so keep a few spare if you send party notes. Cut the knitted scarf tag with small scissors first, since its narrow curls are easier to shape slowly than with one long cut.
Cottage Window Light
A house-shaped tag shows a snowy cottage with a trimmed roofline, a round tag carries a full evergreen wreath, and a scalloped label is decorated with a small candle lantern.
This sheet pairs a round tag with a gentle reindeer, a luggage tag with a small basket of pinecones, a square tag shaped around a snowflake cookie, and an arched tag with a softly glowing window.
Stick the glowing window tag to the top of a wrapped box and let the arch peek above the ribbon line for a tidy finish. This sheet pairs well with the cottage sheet above if you want every tag on a single gift to come from the same little scene.
An oval tag holds a cosy knitted cardigan, a round tag carries a small sprig of mistletoe, and a luggage tag shows a thermos flask with its cap resting beside it.
Village Lights and Logs
A star-shaped tag here carries a single silver star, a round tag shows a small snowy chapel on a hill, a ticket label is stacked with birch logs, and a scalloped tag holds a robin at rest.
Write a date on the chapel tag if you are using these for a holiday card exchange or a winter wedding favour, since the round shape leaves generous space beneath the roofline. For more songbird motifs to add to your cards, see Watercolor Birds Tutorial.
A round tag shows a pair of early snowdrops pushing through frost, a luggage tag carries a husky pup wrapped in a small scarf, and an oval tag holds a tin of cocoa mix.
A cloud-shaped tag holds a ribbon of northern lights overhead, a round tag shows a polar bear standing quietly, a square tag carries three snow-capped pines in a row, and a ticket label holds a pair of winter boots.
This sheet suits a January birthday gift particularly well, since none of the motifs lean on Christmas imagery at all. Keep the northern lights cloud tag for a gift to someone who loves winter wonderland painting ideas.
A scalloped tag closes the set with a tall amaryllis bloom, a round tag holds a single white candle, an arched tag shows frost ferns spreading across glass, and a luggage tag carries a mug of mulled wine.
What to Do Next
Pick the sheets that match your wrapping pile, print them at actual size on sticker paper or cardstock, and start filling in names and wishes while the hot cocoa is still warm.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these gift tags?
Printable sticker paper works best if you want the tag to stick directly to ribbon, paper or a box lid without any glue. Matte cardstock suits tags you plan to punch a hole through and thread with a loop, since it holds its shape better than thin paper.
What printer settings should I use?
Set the printer to actual size rather than fit to page, and choose the highest quality or photo setting available. This keeps every tag true to its intended size and keeps the fine ink outlines sharp instead of soft.
How do I cut out tags with curved or scalloped edges?
Cut slowly around curves with small detail scissors, turning the paper rather than the blade. Use a craft knife for any inner points, like the notch on a luggage tag, and leave a thin white border all the way round so no colour gets clipped.
Can I use these tags for Hanukkah or January gifts, not just Christmas?
Yes, these tags skip Santa imagery entirely in favour of snowflakes, cabins, skates and birds, so they suit Hanukkah gifts, hostess presents and January birthdays just as well as Christmas wrapping.
How do I attach a tag without ribbon or string?
Punch a small hole in the corner and loop it through existing ribbon or twine already on the gift, or simply tape the tag flat to the paper. Sticker paper versions skip this step entirely since they stick on their own.
