If you’re looking for a fun and simple way to give a small money gift this Christmas, these free printable gift tags are such a cute idea. They look like you’re gifting cookies, but the real surprise is the cash tucked inside. The tag reads “fake cookies, real dough, just enough for a cup of Joe”, which makes it perfect for gifting a few pounds or dollars in a playful, lighthearted way. It’s a sweet little treat without actually baking anything, and kids, teens, friends, teachers, and neighbours all get a kick out of this one.
You can pair the tag with a pretend cookie or cut out a gingerbread man shape from cardboard to go with it. It has all the cosy Christmas vibes while keeping things really easy and budget friendly.
How to Use These Christmas Money Gift Tags
There are lots of fun ways to put these tags together. The simplest way is to cut out the printable, fold or roll up your money gift, and attach it to the back with tape. You can also tie it on with string or tuck the money in an envelope behind the tag.
If you want to make it extra cute, add a pretend cookie alongside it. You can cut a gingerbread man from cardboard, decorate it with paint pens, or even glue on some little buttons or sequins. You could also use a foam craft shape, a salt dough cookie, or a store bought plastic cookie ornament. Anything that looks cookie-ish works.
Then just attach everything together and you’re done. It’s quick to assemble, easy to personalise, and a fun twist on a small Christmas money gift.
