Truly Reusable Gift Tags - you could use in different ways
We are now building up our stock again.
This is truly one of Siew-Peng's more crazy ideas. We have already pioneered the reusable cloth gift wrapper bags, but what could we use as eco-friendly reusable tags?
The idea emerged that we could design a beautifully embroidered reusable fabric tag with a pocket to insert a special message, written on any scrap piece of paper (or the back of an envelope). Few people would retain gift tags.
Actually I sometimes retain gift tags when they can be re-used as Christmas decorations. And guess what? You CAN use these as Christmas decorations, as well as turn them into placecard holders by hiding a treat or two in them!
Tags vary in size, but are at least about 3½” x 2” and made from hand-dyed and handloomed Fairtrade organic cotton fabric (by members of the KV Kuppam co-operative).
Each tag is personally hand-crafted by Siew-Peng: digitizing appropriate images, machine-embroidering on the pocket, machine and hand-sewing, and finally adding a satin ribbon to complete the "package".
A Set of Three Tags is £10.00. A single tag is £3.50.

*Trivia: The idea came in the middle of 2009 and I trialled this on the Etsy marketplace. A few weeks later I saw that the idea had been copied. I wasn't sure to be sad or glad.
