FREE tags for "sweet treat" Christmas gifts

I love a useful gift... and it's even better if it's packaged in a thoughtful way. Today, I'm sharing a fun way to package cookies, and I'm sharing FREE downloadable gift tags.

Disclosure - I was given these cookies for free in exchange for product promotion... but I can guarantee that the opinions in this blog are 100% my own. I LOVE these cookies. :-)

I designed three different tags, and they all can be paired with any sweet treat. You can use homemade or store-bought cookies.

A useful gift with a thoughtful punny tag is perfect for the holidays!!!

To download and print the FREE tags I designed: click on the tag you want to print below, right-click, save it to your computer, and print like a regular 4x6 photo. (Note: there are two tags on each sheet.)

You can also get a closer look at the treats I made in the video I made here.
