Inspired by Margery Williams Bianco’s timeless classic and beautifully illustrated by William Nicholson, these tags feature charming vintage artwork that will elevate any gift.

With four unique styles available for free, these tags are perfect for holidays, birthdays, or special moments.

As an optional add-on, you can also purchase a full set of 12 tags that includes additional illustrations and quotes from The Velveteen Rabbit for an even more personalized touch.

How to Use These Gift Tags

These Velveteen Rabbit gift tags are designed for simplicity and elegance. Here’s how you can use them to make your gifts extra special:

Two different styles of Velveteen Rabbit illustrated gift tags on brown paper packages tied up with twine.

1. Print at Home: The free set includes four different styles of tags, each designed to print on a standard 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper. All you need is a printer, paper or cardstock, and scissors. Each tag is clearly outlined, making them easy to cut out.

2. Attach: Once printed, simply cut the tags out, punch a hole in the top to attach the tag to your gift using twine, ribbon, or string. The tags are available in several shapes and sizes (including round, rectangular, and traditional gift tag styles) to match various package sizes.

3. Write Your Message: The front of each tag includes a “To and From” section, perfect for adding your personal touch.

4. Perfect for Any Occasion: Whether you’re wrapping a birthday present, holiday gift, or even a “just because” package, these tags add a timeless and whimsical element to any gift.

How to Personalize the Tags Even More

Although these tags are already unique with their vintage illustrations from The Velveteen Rabbit, you can take personalization to the next level:

Use Decorative Paper

Print the tags on different types of paper like colored cardstock, kraft paper, or metallic paper to match your wrapping theme. The classic illustrations look stunning on textured or linen paper.

Add Embellishments

Enhance the tags with glitter, stickers, or small pressed flowers to add a handmade touch that makes your gift feel even more special.

Handwritten Notes

On the back side of the “To and From” section, include a small, handwritten message or quote from The Velveteen Rabbit to evoke even more charm and sentimentality.

Custom Stamps or Seals

Use a wax seal or custom stamp on the tag to give it a regal, old-fashioned feel. This is a great way to elevate your gift-wrapping, particularly for more formal occasions.

Purchasing the Full Set of 12 Tags

While the free set of four tags offers plenty of variety, you can unlock even more options by purchasing the full set of 12 Velveteen Rabbit gift tags. This paid set features additional illustrations from the book, along with some of the most beloved quotes, including:

“Real isn’t how you are made. It’s a thing that happens to you.”
“You become. It takes a long time.”
“When a child loves you, then you become Real.”

The full set includes the same four styles and shapes as the free set but offers three unique designs per shape (round, rectangle, circle, and traditional gift tag).

This allows for more customization, whether you’re wrapping a large gift or a small token of appreciation. The digital PDF download makes it easy to print at home, and the standard 8.5” x 11” paper size ensures compatibility with most printers.

How to Purchase: The full set of 12 gift tags is available as a digital download for a small fee. Once purchased, you’ll receive an instant download link, and from there, it’s as simple as printing, cutting, and attaching them to your gifts.
