Enchant Your Gifts: 7 Ways to Use Printable Unicorn Gift Tags
The holidays are a wonderful time to sprinkle a little magic into every present you wrap. With printable unicorn gift tags, you can transform simple packages into keepsake treasures to delight a child, add whimsy for a friend, or simply elevate your seasonal aesthetic.
Today, I’m sharing seven charming and practical ways to use my 30-piece Printable Unicorn Gift Tag Set—so that your gift giving not only looks magical, but is easier, more thoughtful, and truly memorable.
1. Add a Unicorn “Charm Layer” to Kraft Paper Wrapping
There’s something beautifully rustic about kraft paper: minimal, classic, a little homespun. When you wrap a gift in simple kraft paper and tuck a unicorn tag under a bow of natural twine, it instantly becomes cozy cottagecore mixed with fantasy. It elevates an inexpensive base wrap into something that feels handcrafted and heartfelt, without needing complex supplies or extra time.
2. Mix & Match Tags for a Coordinated Magical Theme
Use two or three different unicorn tags from the set to layer on your package. This coordinated layering gives your gift a luxe, curated look. It feels intentional and special, like a little styled vignette, and makes your gift stand out in the pile of presents.
3. Use Mini Tags as “Star-Confetti Labels”
Print out the miniature versions of the unicorn tags, cut them carefully, and scatter them over the top of wrapped boxes—securing them with glue dots so they look like a gentle scattering of stars.
This works beautifully for small treat bags, stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, or kids’ presents.
Instead of bulky bows or big decorations, these mini tags add a delicate, whimsical touch that feels light and magical. It’s an elegant detail that makes even simple gifts feel thoughtfully crafted.
4. Tie Tags Around Gift Bags with Ribbon & a Jingle Bell
Grab a satin or velvet ribbon, thread a tiny jingle bell on it, and attach a unicorn tag before tying it around a gift bag. The bell gives a soft holiday sound, and the unicorn adds a dreamy twist.
It’s a quick but high-impact way to decorate when you’re short on time. It feels festive, magical, and put together—all with minimal effort.
5. Create Enchanted “Message Tags” with Personal Notes
Flip one of the unicorn tags over and write a short message: a holiday greeting, a favorite quote, or a playful fantasy lyric. Because these tags are from your Printable Unicorn Gift Tag Set, you can reuse the design style while customizing each message.
Bonus: many people later save these tags in their journals, scrapbooks, or memory boxes.
Rather than using plain store-bought tags, you turn each gift into a keepsake. The personal note becomes part of the present itself—and many recipients will treasure the tag long after the wrapping is gone.
6. Layer Tags with Decorative Washi Tape
Give your tag extra sparkle by anchoring it with a strip of washi tape. Choose starry gold, holographic, or iridescent washi styles to match the unicorn theme.
It’s a simple way to add polish and shine without bulky ribbons or glued-on layers. This technique is fast but visually rich, making your gifts feel polished and magical.
7. Use Unicorn Tags as Cupcake or Cookie Bag Labels
If you’re gifting treats like cookies or cupcakes, attach a unicorn tag to the top of each treat bag. These tags are perfect for classroom treats, neighbor gifts, or Secret Santa exchanges.
Instead of plain food labels, each treat becomes part of a little fantasy moment. Your gift feels more personal, enchanting, and charming—people will remember not just the treats, but the thoughtful presentation.
