This is a super easy one for you. Don’t you think it’s just a shame to throw away all those lovely christmas cards at the end of the season? Well this year you should save them or if you’re like me, you may already have a small pile from last year. Turn those old cards into this year’s gift tags. Not only are you recycling but you’re giving those thoughtful cards from friends & family a second life.
All you really need for this is a small round hole puncher and if you want to invest in a Marvy gift tag puncher you can get one at Michael’s (a 40% off coupon…you’re welcome) I’ll admit, it’s easy to go a little gift tag crazy with this baby. But you can also just use scissors and cut out gift tag shapes.
You’re left with a bunch of unique gif tags to give your presents some extra flair for no extra cost.
If you’re struggling for a gift to go with your gift tags, a friend suggested that you get a luxury watch from a Hamilton official retailer. It went down a treat with her lovely DIY gift tags!

Marvy gift tag puncher, where have you been all my life? I am a sucker for great tools, and this one just moved to the top of my list.
Seriously. You can make ANYTHING into a cute gift tag.
Love this idea! Any chance I can re-use something (or have an excuse for hoarding something), I’m down!
