Free Printable Tropical Santa Gift Tags

These free printable tropical Christmas gift tags are an easy way to bring the beach home for Christmas. They’re great whether you live someplace warm like Florida or Hawaii or just wish you were seeing white sands instead of white snow.

This set of printable Christmas gift tags includes a blackout png file so you can quickly and easy cut them with your cutting machine. Don’t worry – they’re also very easy to cut out by hand if you don’t have access to a cutting machine.

How to print your own gift tags

Materials needed:

Your free printable gift tags (look for the row of purple arrows lower down in the post)
Paper or cardstock (see below)
Printer access
Scissors or paper cutting machine
- A paper trimmer is helpful for the long, straight cuts, but you’ll still want a pair of scissors or hobby knife to cut the angled pieces
- For a step-by-step look at using a hobby blade for cutting printables, make sure to check out this post on how to cut printable stickers without a cutting machine
- A paper cutting machine is absolutely not necessary, but I have included a blackout png file for Silhouette and Circuit users
A small hole punch, sharp awl, large needle, or some other way to poke a hole in the top
Bakers twine, ribbon, etc. to attach gift tag to your gift

For the best results, print these gift tags on 32# paper or card stock. The 32# HP paper (my personal favorite) isn’t as thick as cardstock, but images look much brighter and more professional. You can see side-by-side comparisons of the best papers for printables in this post. The post includes a video with actual printouts on multiple different papers and cardstocks so you can see which brings the best results. The tags shown in this post were printed on cardstock for durability.

How to print your own gift tags

Printing and making gift tags is super easy! Simply print, cut out, punch a hole in the top, and attach to your gift. Each tag has a spot to write your “to” and “from” so you don’t have to write on the back.

Remember if you print with an inkjet printer, the ink will be sucesptible to water damage. Make sure not to get drips on the presents when you water the tree!

Please note that you will need to unzip the file in order to access the printables. The main gift tag file is a PDF, but there is also a transparent png “blackout” file for use with cutting machines. Not familiar with using a blackout file for cutting? I found a helpful post from an Etsy sheller showing how to use blackout files with a cutting machine. These tags are very easy to cut by hand – do not worry if you don’t have an electronic cutting machine.

An archive utility comes pre-installed on Mac OS. If you don’t have an archive tool already installed, you can unzip files for free on ezyzip.com. If you have trouble, I found a helpful post from an Etsy seller explaining how to unzip any file on any device.

Like all free printables on The Artisan Life, these gift tags are available for personal use.

You are not licensed to alter, sell, or redistribute the files (digital or printed) to others for their use. You absolutely are not licensed to post them for sale or download on any website. Please just send your friends and family to this page to download their own copies.
