I have been so busy getting Festive this year! You know, I love a handmade gift. I think there is nothing nicer than receiving something that you know has been customized to your likes and has been made with care. Nothing is more precious than time and a handmade item is the gift of the makers time. I have been working hard to come up with some DIY and sewing projects that will make great gifts. Stay tuned for my 35+ DIY Handmade Gift Tutorial Roundup! Which got me thinking about how to present your handmade goodies. Which in turn, made me think ‘cool gift tags’.
Mr Ask and I were casually relaxing a few weekends ago and I told him of my gift tag project. He was strangely keen to help. So we put on some music, made a pot of tea and grabbed out laptops. We came up with a pretty eclectic bunch of gift tags! Which is great because no matter your taste, there’s something for you! From irreverent to classic. Some proclaim your gift as handmade, some show your love of animals. And because you can print them out at home there are some that are straight up black and white, as well as other colour variations. To print them at home, just click on the PDF links below, save to your computer and print. I know you’ll love them, so let’s take a look….
The ‘Merry’ Series is modern but with a traditional element. Of course I had to play on the word make and throw in a sewing machine! Two tag designs represented in B&W, green and red.

The ‘Santa’s Got A Gun’ Series is all cool, shades and all! Oh I love it’s edge. Each sheet has B&W, red tones, cardboard texture and blue tones.

The ‘Handmade With Love’ series is the cherry on top of a beautifully handmade gift! Each sheet has three colour ways off the same tag – grey tones, green tones and soft red tones.

The ‘Grunge’ series is sublimely subversive! Made straight from my Grinch-y little heart! This has the two tag designs in B&W, red and green.

The ‘Reindeer & Birds’ series is old school elegance personified! Made specifically to please Mummy Asks tastes. Oh how that woman just loves a birdy! Six designs on one page, 3 completely B&W and 3 with red embellishments.

And last but certainly not least, the ‘Dogs & Cats’ series. Of course, as a dyed in the wool cat lady, these are my absolute favorites. Cat & dog themed things can lean a little hokey. With this in mind my puns and wording (can you read that dog/couch one and not sing ‘I’m so excited’? The Pointer Sisters would be proud) are silly but the graphics are plain. It has four different variations, both in total B&W and B&W with red Santa hats.

So, I’m simply dying to know, do you like them? I was inspired by some printable labels that came up in my Pinterest feed but I knew that rather than come from my own design aesthetic and make something that had one style, I wanted to try and provide options to suit anyone. Maybe, while you were reading through this you found a tag that would be perfect for your traditional mother, chill brother, Christmas hating sister, your sewist sister in law, your minimalist modern friend, your sewing pal and even something for Fido! I would be so happy if you’d let me know which series is your fave! And of course, if you use them on your presents, pics please! See below for my FB & Instagram. I’d love to stay but I hear sleigh bells jingling………
