One of those little things that we don't think about for our holiday gift giving are the small Christmas gift tags that each gift requires. They can be costly and what's more, you don't really get what you're looking for if you're getting the ready made variety.

Holiday gift tags aren't that hard to make if you have a computer, a printer and a little imagination. In fact, you can even make the stick on variety if you like by using stick on name labels or mailing label paper that is peel and stick.

Creative thinking and a little cruise around the internet will help you to find the free images that you're looking for on various sites that offer free public domain photos or free Christmas clipart.

• Sized correctly for one sheet, simply click on the image here to get to the larger photo. That photo too is clickable and has a larger version.
• Right click on the largest version and save it to your computer.
• Print the sheet on a regular sized 8.5 x 11.5 sheet of card stock or sticky paper.

• You can either stick on your gift tags or if you elected to use card stock, use a hole punch and punch one hole into the gift tag. Tie it onto the gift using a pretty piece of ribbon.
