Author: A loaf of cranberry bread wrapped in parchment, a little tin of cookies for the neighbors, a present the kids picked out for Grandma all by themselves. These free printable Christian Christmas gift tags would look sweet on any of them. Each tag features a watercolor nativity scene and a few familiar words from Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born.”
You get nine matching gift tags on one printable sheet, so you can sit down with a pair of scissors and have a whole little stack ready by the time the first batch of Christmas cookies comes out of the oven.
Nativity Gift Tags With a Christmas Bible Verse
There’s a tiny gold star at the top of each tag. Underneath it, Mary and Joseph kneel beside baby Jesus in the warm glow of the stable, with a sheep on either side. The words “Merry Christmas” sit just below the Scripture in a handwritten-style script.
I love this design with plain brown wrapping paper. The blue watercolor sky shows up beautifully against the kraft paper, and a bit of kitchen twine is all you need to finish the package. If the kids are helping you wrap, let them sign the back in their own handwriting. Grandma will know exactly who that present is from!
How to Print and Use Your Christmas Gift Tags
Print the PDF in color on white cardstock, then cut along the dotted lines around each tag. Write your recipient’s name and a little Christmas message on the back while the tag is still lying flat. It’s much easier than trying to write on it after you’ve tied it to a lumpy package. Ask me how I know!
Punch a hole in an upper corner to leave the gold star in view, then thread a piece of ribbon or twine through it. If you’re wrapping gifts with little ones, tape works just fine, too. Let them choose a spot on the package and stick the tag down by its top edge so it still lifts up to show their message.
Sweet Ways to Use Your Scripture Gift Tags
If you’re giving homemade treats, slip a few cookies into a clear bag, gather the top, and tie on a nativity tag with red ribbon. There’s room on the back to tell your neighbor what’s inside. “Merry Christmas from the kids next door! We made you snickerdoodles” is about as sweet as a gift gets.
These tags also make lovely little notes for Sunday school teachers, choir directors, or the friend who saves your family a seat at the Christmas Eve service. Tuck one into an envelope with a gift card and let your child finish the sentence “Thank you for…” on the back. That might just be the part their teacher keeps.
