3 Ways to Make Your Gifts Stand Out This Season

I’m a huge fan of making gifts stand out because the person receiving it should be excited to open it. If you’re not into DIY or crafty, that’s okay! I think I have some items from my shop that will help you out.

Gift Tags

Gift tags are easily one of the easiest ways to personalize AND make your gifts stand out. I have several Christmas designs to choose from and you can order them on cardstock or as stickers. They’re often overlooked but when you have a pile of Christmas gifts, you’re going to wish you had a gift tag so that yours doesn’t get lost!

A Christmas design on a gift tag place on a kraft wrapped gift. One way to make your gifts stand out.

Stickers

Oh, how many ways can you use stickers? Tell me the ways! First, you can use them for inside your greeting cards. Think of them like emojis!

Second, you can use stickers to close an envelope. That’s one of my favorite ways. It gives them a preview of what might be inside. Or maybe you chose a sticker of their favorite treat or animal. It’s just one way to say that you put some extra thought into it.

And lastly, die-cut stickers are perfect for decorating personal items. Want to gift a water bottle or laptop? Put a sticker on it!

Personalized notepads

Last but not least, for those of you who like gifts that serve a purpose – a personalized notepad is something functional AND aesthetic. Get one for your boss, teacher friend, or for yourself! They’ll be using it all the time!
