Can you say, inexpensive and full of character? 'Cause if you can't, you could always just write it on one of these adorable clothespin tags.

Cozy plaid, twine, and stained wood tags make these little rustic boxes much closer to home decor than well-wrapped gifts. A perfect match for the man still rockin' his Movember 'stache!

Have you ever heard the saying, if you want something done right, you have to carve your own stamp out of a potato? Well, that's because we're the first to say it, but that doesn't make it any less true!
6. Chalkboard Puzzle Piece
Project via Hometalker Giustina @Domestically Blissful
A repurpose, a chalkboard craft, and holiday gift wrap, all in one! There are only a few things better than a chalkboard puzzle piece gift tag, and, with any luck, one of them is inside that box!
7. Jingle Bell Candycane
Project via Hometalker Jo-Anna @A Pretty Life in the Suburbs
These gift toppers look good enough to eat, but, taste aside, they'd be quite a racket going down. What we're saying is - do craft, don't eat!
8. Glitter, Glitter, Glitter

If your bag or box isn't sparkling up a storm, you've missed a grand decorating opportunity! Try out this glitter pattern idea, and top each gift off with homemade personalized labels.
9. Brown Paper Bow

The perfect bow is chic no matter what it's made out of - this one just happens to be made out of totally recycled, no-cost brown paper strips!
10. Shopping Bags
