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 them a ton when labeling storage, but I also just had twins and find the need to label all of their different stuff

I use labels on my plastic shoe boxes, on storage boxes and small ones on my spice jars.
I use return address labels and labels for files.
The last time I used labels was for our wedding invitations, eight years ago!

Labels are useful when organizing my storage bins, to keep track of what is inside.

Labels are very useful for storage box labeling.
We buy a lot of bulk foods so I need labels for our glass jars
They are great for labeling storage tubs on the ends so that you don't have to dig thru and open them all up trying to figure out where you stored something the LAST time you needed it!

I would love to have a TASSIMO Brewer in my kitchen! Being able to treat myself to hot lattes every morning would be amazing!
Labels are useful to me when I'm storing something in a mason jar or other container and need a way to identify it.

I use labels for my craft and sewing supplies, for kitchen storage and especially for labeling gifts. I really want to try designing my own labels to print now.
