    As I was thinking about what I’d like to gift to our neighbors and friends this year I kept thinking “I just want them to have a good year next year”. I started playing around with the “best wishes next year” idea and stumbled on the idea of having a “tangle-free” year!

    I love a good pun, and I love punny gifts! So I’ve created these cute “Wishing you a Tangle Free Year” gift tags.

    I’ll be gifting these with a New Year’s themed tag, but I’ve also included tags in the printable for Holiday & Birthday themed tags.

    What to Put in the Gift Bags
