Fab Holiday Find: Personalized Gift Tags

Over at the FilipinoMomBlog.com, we are having a Fab Holiday Finds meme that I am sure those who are anticipating Christmas will enjoy writing posts about and sharing their finds.

Finds can range from the latest in electronic gadgets, to the most delicious ham ever tasted, cookies and cakes to die for, bargain Christmas trees and decors and even Persimmon trees for New Year luck, the tastiest lechon to the coolest places to where one can have these things and more. What else did I miss?

I have decided to make personalized Christmas gift tags. It was supposed to be done with the kids but they had other things in mind so I ended up starting the gift tags myself.

I enjoyed doing these even if when I came to, I realized that spending time doing these as well as spending MORE than I intended to, I could have said I shouldn’t have done that yet I know I made the right choice.

Here is a closeup/link of one of the personalized Christmas gift tags while below is a photo of some of the personalized Christmas gift tags I made:

Below are the materials and costs I have incurred:

  1. Craft scissors - PhP51.75 ($1.056 @ $1.00 - PhP49.00)
  2. Red flower patches ( 8 or so pieces) - PhP16.50 ( $0.336)
  3. Red circle shapes (10 or so pieces) - PhP13.50 ($0.275)
  4. Shimmery flower shapes ( 10 or more pieces) - PhP9.50 ($0.193)
  5. Cord (5 meters) - PhP11.75 ($0.239)
  6. Red circle shapes (10 or more pieces) - Php13.50 ($0.275)
  7. Rhine studs (8 pieces) - PhP19.50 ($0.397)
  8. Red Construction Paper (10 pieces) - PhP42.75 ($0.872)
  9. Green Construction paper (10pieces) - PhP34.75 ($0.709)

The glue I had that at home, along with some other colored construction paper.

Overall expenses would be about PhP213.50 or $4.35.

I know, I could have bought several pieces of commercially available gift tags with this money but then, I know these are even more special because I made these myself 🙂

Hello Teacher Julie!

Bless your heart that you find the time to personalize the gift tags. It really makes it special to make some stuff yourself. I’m sure the recipients will be delighted.

Thanks for dropping by my blog even if I was missing in action in the blogosphere. Take care.

Thanks for dropping by Tina. I miss you in the blogosphere but whatever it is that keeps you busy offline must be very exciting because it keeps you away from it all 🙂

Hugs to the little girl, I miss seeing her smiles and her new accomplishments 🙂

Wow Julie, me I don’t have the patience and the creativity to do these crafts. Even during elementary days ko pa, naku, I was not excited with crafting but I do admire creative people who can make beautiful things out of the simplest materials like my mom. Hindi ko minana sa kanya. 😀 Galing mo naman.

More than the expenses saved, it’s the labor of love that makes these tags priceless!

Thanks for the invitation to join the meme, teacher!

I agree with you. Doing something personal always win over the bought ones. I love those flower patches. Where did you buy them?

Lynn, if not for those embellishments being being sold at NBS, I wouldn’t be able to make these 😀

But then, yesterday, the kids and I started on some paper crafts for the tree, we might continue today after we study 🙂
