I try hard to be prepared (it doesn’t always happen, but I try) and I love having small gifts ready to go for unexpected guests, neighbors or bored kids at a restaurant. Especially during the holidays! That’s why I love these small, ready to go gifts with fun labels.
I made up a couple of fun printables to make it even easier for you to have small gifts at the ready. Or you could plan a whole day of leaving these fun gifts around town for people to find. Wouldn’t it put a smile on your kids’ face to find one of these lying around?! Here’s what I did:
I started with Avery 22807 2″ round Print-to-the-Edge labels. I created 3 different printables (download links below)
I gathered up some toys. Shop the dollar store or party favor isle for multi-packs of toys to make it easier!
Package up the toys in paper bags, boxes or just leave as is
Apply label
And you’re good to go!
Build some fun = bricks or blocks
Have a ball = rubber ball
Race into action = toy car
We even made a little video to show you just how easy it is.
Easy, but a big impact. You could also use Avery Design & Print Online: Easy to use templates for all Avery products to create your own labels for gifts you have. Check out Avery on Pinterest for lots of inspiration including more Holiday gift ideas or on Facebook for more inspiration, deals/discounts and contests!
Follow the directions on the Avery label packaging for printing and print on a plain paper to test placement with your printer first.
Here are the downloads so you can make your own. These are made for the Avery 22807 labels.
Labels make our lives so much easier don’t they? Holidays, household organization school organization…

I use labels to help organize my family of six!
I use them a lot during the holidays.
I like to label things for my boys so they can easily find and put away their toys, clothes, etc.
I use labels to save time. I love how labels allow me to put the same message on multiple items quickly and neatly, without fear of them coming off.

great blog! Love labels! I use them in my office and pantry the most!
Labeling all of the storage containers filled with my son's toys and clothing. I'm hoping for a second child and want to keep everything organized so we can easily access the hand-me-downs.

I use labels in a variety of ways around the home and tend to find them perfect for organizing my children's craft supplies. I also use them to address gifts over the holiday season! I have never used a template though but I really think I should because they create fantastic designs.

I've used tons of labels for mailing and for the backs of pictures (instead of handwriting names, dates, locations — print on a label and stick on).
Labels are particularly useful during christmas for mailing out xmas cards
I have lots of plastic totes in the closets, and it's nice to label them to keep things organized.

I'm a label addict! All our storage boxes are labeled, however that doesn't always mean the kids will read and utilize them 🙂
Useful for gifts anytime of the year.
Oh my…these are so cute and I love how you use them for these cute boxes. I usually use labels on my homemade beauty supplies as gifts. Gotta give these Avery products a try. I love them!
