"Soak in the Holiday Season" Free Printable Gift Tag

The holiday season is all about spreading joy and relaxation.  What better way to help your loved ones unwind and rejuvenate than by gifting them a soothing Epsom salt soak?  To make your gift even more special, I've included two options for the free printable gift tag:  "Soak in the Holiday Season!" or "Soak in the Spirit of Christmas!"

Epsom salt is renowned for its therapeutic benefits, making it the perfect present for anyone seeking a little self-care during the holidays.

Why Epsom Salt Makes an Ideal Holiday Gift:

• Stress Relief:  The holiday season can be hectic and stress levels can run high.  Epsom salt baths are known for their stress-relieving properties, helping to relax both the body and the mind.

• Muscle Relaxation:  All that holiday shopping, cooking, and decorating can take a toll on our bodies.  Epsom salt can provide relief from muscle aches and pains, allowing your loved ones to unwind and ease any discomfort.

• Better Sleep:  After a long day of holiday festivities, a warm Epsom salt bath can lead to a better night's sleep, leaving the recipient refreshed and energized for the next day.

• Skin Nourishment:  Epsom salt can work wonders for the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and radiant.  It's an excellent addition to any self-care routine.

Simply buy Epsom salts at your favorite store (Walgreens, CVS, Target, Walmart, Costco, etc.) or order it online.  There are typically more fragrance and brand options online and multiple bags can get heavy, so sometimes I just have it delivered.

You can gift an entire bag OR use one bag to fill multiple mason jar type containers.

Happy soaking!  💖🛁 Karen

Out of the Blue Gift Idea

Can you think of someone who deserves an extra gift this holiday season?  If you are in a position to help, it might make someone's day a little brighter to receive a gift with this free printable "A gift for you from out of the blue" tag attached.

Due to the pandemic, we are hearing that the Food Pantries are facing unprecedented demands this year.  One idea would be to staple this tag onto a bag of groceries and leave them anonymously on someone's doorstep.

It is always fun to receive mail, too.  My kids know about my love for Gnomes and my oldest (and his girlfriend) gave me some cute notecards for my birthday this year.

For my "out of the blue" surprise, I printed an eGift card, attached the tag, and mailed it to my kids letting them "Gnome" how much we love them.

💙💙💙💙💙

Here is something else to think about...I watched "A Holly Dolly Christmas" this year.  Dolly Parton told a story about going to church on Christmas Eve where all the adults and children typically received a little grab bag at the end of the service.  One year, after they'd handed out the small presents to everyone, there wasn't a bag left for her mother.

One of the church ladies said, "Well, you won't mind, will you?  You've got so many kids and they all got one anyway."  Her mama said, "That's OK, I understand..."

But everybody's a kid at Christmas and Dolly saw her mama sitting on a bench silently crying afterward.  When she tried to give her mama the bag she had received, her mother told Dolly she had a good heart, but she couldn't take her bag.

I think Dolly is right to remind us that everyone feels like a kid at Christmas.  No matter how old you are, everyone wants to feel special...

If there is any room in your budget this holiday season, consider giving someone a little gift "from out of the blue"!  💙 Karen

Scent-sational Candle Gift Tag

The last of my free printable gift tags before I unveil the fun, easy "Ten Days of Gifting"!

This tag will work for any scented candle.

Everyone in my family likes candles and it is always a treat to get a new one each Christmas.  Normally I would choose the scent in person, but I am mainly shopping online these days.  This means that I read through a bunch of reviews for different scents before I purchased this "Grey Flannel" candle from Target.  I haven't burned it yet, but this candle does smell good!  I'm happy to report that my candles were well wrapped and arrived intact.  I think that all of the stores are getting really good at shipping these days!

For this gift, simply purchase your favorite candle and tie on the tag with ribbon or Baker's twine.  Did you know that candles are essential for hygge (hue-gah) and Denmark uses more candles per capita than any other country?

The Oxford English Dictionary defines hygge as a kind of coziness that evokes feelings of contentment and wellbeing. It's also an essential concept in Danish culture. Many articles on hygge mention items like candles, hot chocolate and oversized sweaters, as well as being in the company of loved ones...

Buying someone a candle for Christmas just makes scents!

Original 2020 Version

Well, 2020 has been quite a year, hasn't it?!?  Here is a free printable gift tag that kind of sums up my feelings about it.  As noted in my "You bet GIRAFFE" post, I'm not perfect with the "no swearing" thing, but I do try to use less offensive "substitute" words most of the time.  Case in point...2020 - What the SHELL?!?  I love the face on this little guy...

This is another tag for my upcoming "Ten Days of Gifting".  The simple gift idea is to buy Turtles Candy.  I found it at Walgreens (even on sale for Christmas)!

Another cute idea would be to pair this tag with that "Magic Shell" for ice cream product (or include both gifts)!  There are lots of brands and lots of different flavors that you can find at your local grocery store.  This would be a fun gift for your friends, coworkers or even to ding-dong ditch on your neighbors doorstep.  (Perfect social distancing in action!)

ding-dong ditch  A children's prank in which a doorbell of a home is rung, and then the pranksters run away before the occupants of the home open the door.

My family is used to how my mind works, so hopefully they will think this gift is funny ('punny' as we call it).

Looking forward to some TURTLE-Y good news in 2021!  💚 Karen

P.S.  If you want to make your own (yummy) Rolo turtles instead, here is a how-to post!

We TISSUE A Merry Christmas

Another free printable gift tag that will be one of my "Ten Days of Gifting"!  This tag is perfect for purse-size or regular boxes of tissues for your girlfriends, coworkers or neighbors (especially helpful during the winter cold/flu season).  I love "Rudolph" saying that it is "For all your red nose days."  (ha ha)

This is a fun, inexpensive gift just to let people know that you are thinking of them!

I don't suppose any of you remember Romper Room?  It was a local (?) TV show when I was a kid in the 60's.  At the end of each broadcast, the hostess would look through a magic mirror and recite this rhyme, "Romper, bomper, stomper boo.  Tell me, tell me, tell me, do.  Magic Mirror, tell me today, did all my friends have fun at play?"  She would then name the children that she saw in "television land".  "I can see Kathy and Charlie and Julie and Tommy..."  I FAITHFULLY watched, just waiting for her to say my name, but she never did.  😞

I also thought that I was "song-worthy".  How come they never wrote a song about Karen (hey, whatcha wearin')?!?  After a long wait, there was finally a character named "Karen" in Frosty the Snowman!  Remember her?

Unfortunately, my name is now associated with the "Karen" meme.  (Do babies named "Karen" even exist or do they suddenly appear at age 40 and want to speak to the manager?!?)  Over the last few years, people would say various "Karen" things to me and laugh.  I "laughed" too, but I didn't even know what they were talking about until recently (ouch)!  Anyway, I digress, but the "blog growth" people are always saying that my readers want to "get to know me".  Is that really true?  Maybe not so much?  Let's get back to the free printable gift ideas! 😀

Print this tag on cardstock and attach to a box of tissues for an inexpensive (but cute) gift.

Download/print We TISSUE a Merry Christmas (6 per sheet)

I used boxes of tissues, but the purse-size ones would be great for a favor-type present.  You can either tie the tag on with ribbon or Baker's Twine or use a loop of tape right on the punch-out opening.

Stick with me, I think you will really like the simplicity of the "Ten Days of Gifting".  I'm trying to get all of the individual gift ideas posted, so I can wrap everything up and explain it all.  Note:  The "grow your blog" people also say how important your profile pic is.  I can tell you that my cartoon looks just like me (with less wrinkles - ha!).  I made a Jib-Jab of myself that I will try to remember to share in the Ten Days of Gifting how-to post in case you want to 'see' the real (ish) me as a reindeer.  😆

Enjoy!  💗 Karen

P.S.  I am going to turn my "comments" back on.  I turned them off for a long time because I was getting some weird ones.  However, I'm ready to try it again.  Let me know what you are thinking and what types of "free" things you'd like to see on this blog!

It's The Most Wonderful Time for a Beer

 I'm posting a lot this week, partly because I am on vacation and partly because I want to get everything uploaded in case you want to join in on my fun, easy "Ten Days of Gifting".

I've created two versions of this free printable gift tag for you (Beer or Root Beer).

Sing the words to the tune of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!"

Simply tie the gift tag onto a bottle of beer (or root beer).  Option:  If you want to gift someone an entire case of either beverage, then just use a loop of tape on the back to attach the tag.

We live in Minnesota, but I work with a lady from Wisconsin.  This particular beer is only sold in Wisconsin, so she picked it up for me.  Use this gift tag on their current favorite beer OR let them try a taste test with something new.  I am not a big fan of beer, but I hear good things about Spotted Cow, so I'm curious!

In Minnesota, we also have a delicious root beer that is sold at Costco/Target/Cub called Killebrew Root Beer.  I'm not sure if it is national, but use a local favorite if you end up liking the Root Beer tag.

We WASH You A Merry Christmas

Another free printable gift tag that will be one of my "Ten Days of Gifting".  We "WASH" you a Merry Christmas is especially fitting this year because we are washing, masking, social distancing, and then washing again!

I think everyone likes to give or receive a nice hand soap, and I happen to love the Mrs. Meyer's product line.  I ordered this popular seasonal scent from Target online:  Snowdrop.  I looked up the scent definition on their website.  They say it is "citrusy and floral, full of good cheer with uplifting notes of mandarin, iced petunia and praline".  Maybe we will feel full of good cheer when we wash our hands with it!  You can copy me and use this tag as part of the "Ten Days of Gifting" or simply use this as a standalone gift idea for co-workers, neighbors, girlfriends, etc.

I punched a hole through the star and used Baker's Twine to tie the tag onto the bottle.

Let's WASH Covid right down the drain and get back to a better "new normal" in 2021!  💗 Karen
