How to Style Valentine's Day Gift Tags (Free Printable)

Looking for simple gift tag ideas for Valentine's Day? These black-and-white tags are perfect for Valentine's Day gifts!

Even if you save things for the last minute, like me, you still have plenty of time to make this easy Valentine's Day gift idea.

It is the perfect time to make a little basket filled with your Valentine's favorite treats for February 14th!

The tags are primarily black and white unless you print them on a different colored paper. Although these have a Valentine's theme, the bottom of each tag reads "Happy Valentine's Day" in red.

These Valentine's gift tags make easy gifts for a boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, and kids or family members.

It is such a pretty set of printable Valentine's gift tags, but feel free to adapt this project to use supplies you already have at home.

Print:

For best results, print the PDF on white cardstock or a heavier paper.

There is no need to take the PDF to a professional printer for an extra cost.

Cut:

There is a light gray outline around each tag to guide cutting.

I like to use my Fiskars Paper Cutter, but a good pair of scissors will work too.

To style the tags a bit more, let's add a red pattern paper backer.

Measure the width and length of the tag.

Cut a rectangle from the pattern paper ½ inch larger than the tag's length and width.

To add some shape to those backer pieces, we will cut a dovetail.

Center the red piece of paper on the Banner Punch Board, and align the corners with the cutting track.

Then cut the dovetail with the cutting blade.

Now your backer piece has a cute flag shape.

I love how the two pieces look stacked together. They make such cute gift tags.

You do not need to glue the two layers together; they can remain loose.

Repeat for each tag size.

Attaching the Tags:

All of the treats purchased for my Valentine's Day gift were from my local grocery store. Just make sure you are buying their favorite flavors.

There are three different ways to attach the tags to the items.

But first, we will use these cute little clothespins on all of the products.

For any gifts that come in a bag, we can simply attach the cute tag and backer piece with a clothespin.

For the soda bottle, I ran a thin piece of twine through the hole in the clothespin and tied it around the neck. Tied the cord off and trimmed the ends.

The tags then easily slid into the clothespin.

For the popcorn box, add a glue dot to the front.

Stick the clothespin into the glue dot, and then place your Valentine's Day tag into the clip.

Assembling the Gift:

The plastic red basket I purchased at my local Dollar Tree.

Wrap the basket with some wired ribbon and tie a bow on the front.

Tear up some paper to place in the bottom of the basket. This will help those smaller items stand up more.

Arrange the food items in the basket so that all items are visible. This is the tricky part.

This may be a small gift, but it is so thoughtful! It is a great way to show your Valentine how much you see them and know what they like.

I know my own Valentine would love to receive a basket filled with their favorite goodies and sweet love notes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are there other ways to attach the free printable gift tags?

Yes, there are other ways to attach the gift tags. Another favorite of mine is with washi tape. It is inexpensive, and there are so many fun patterns.

You could also use a hole punch to put holes in the tags and tie them on that way.

Let your creative imagination run wild with all of the possibilities!

Is Valentine's Day on the 14th?
