Gift Tags

John Lewis



Pink textured gift tag with stick on flower detail in standard luggage tag shape. This tag shows how decorations can add an interesting dimension to something simple.

Star shaped gift tag available in both metallic gold and silver. The star cut makes for an interesting and tag, that is not just the usual format you would expect to find. Ideal for any sort of occasion, with glitter thread tie. 

Luxury gift tags that offer something special and unique. The tags come as a set, held together with a keepsake embroidered ribbon. The tag itself features a really nice heart detail, that appears to have been stamped on. The string ties offer a vintage and natural feature, in christmas appropriate colours. 
More simple alternatives to the previous tags, offering both a merry christmas statement or a blank heart, allowing for your own personal message. 
An interesting take on a gift tag that allows you to tell the recipient when the gift should be opened. As some gifts are sometimes given early, it is always tempting to open them before the actual event. This tag is therefore a simple but effective reminder. The use of type is bold and catches the eye. The stock used also offers a natural and textured finish.
A simple gift tag that is made effective through the use of colour and stock.

An intricate and detailed gift tag, intended for the birth of a baby girl. The colours used are evidently extremely appropriate and effective, and the raised dress detail with 3D button is an extremely sweet touch. All it's features make this tag something special, as the occasion is a big one.

An unusual gift tag format of an illustrated cupcake with 3D cherries. The pastel colours are fun and playful and the spotted ribbon is a nice feature. 




Products that are available as part of a set, including gift tag, flower decoration and printed tissue paper. These beautiful designs allow for continuity throughout the gift, allowing each part to reflect each other. This is a nice idea and shows how one design can be spread over a number of different products. 

Gift Bags

John Lewis



An intersting, retro gift bag with football images. This bag is evidently more appropriate for a male audience, which is ideal as there are lot of female orientated gift products out there. It is quite difficult to find something for men that isn't just a solid colour. This bag includes it's own gift tag, with plenty of writing space, and wide ribbon handles, which ensure a sturdy product. 



Gift bag with pastel flower illustrations, ideal for a number of occasions, including mother's day and birthdays. This bag is most likely intended for a female audience due to design and colour. The ribbon handles are a nice bold contrast to the pale pink, and offer a sturdy grip.


Although an interesting take on a gift bag for men, the design isn't to my taste. The argyle print on the sides looks rather tacky, and pushes the design too far. The stick men are placed extremely randomly and I also feel that the type is not effective, failing to work together. The thin ribbons also do not suit the size of the bag.


A playful and quirky gift bag design, that uses an eye catching range of colours. Repeated patterns tend to work well when applied to bags, and this allows for certain colours to be picked out and applied else. For example, the ribbons, gift tags and wrap. 



A sweet and unusual gift bag format, that offers something unique and different. Not only is the shape different to what you'd usually find, but also the use of an actual handle instead of ribbon is unusual. Although possibly an awkward shape for gifts, this design is fun and playful.


An interesting way of housing gifts When styled like this, there is no need for gift wrap, as the item is not visible from the outside. This is a safe and secure method of packaging something.


A rather specific gift bag design, ideal for those who love travelling, or for those leaving home etc. 


Showing how a range of products can work. Gift bag with included wrap and tag. The scalloped opening is an aesthetically pleasing feature, and works well with the muted design.
