Birthday Gift Tags. For the Wish, or the Truth.
Eight printable tags with vintage flower engravings. Four for the warm, direct wish. Four for the friend who would rather hear that another year is mostly a matter of stubbornness.
Four for the wish
- Many Happy Returns. Dahlia
- Happy Returns of the Day. Peony
- To Many More. Tulip
- With Every Good Wish. Hydrangea
Four with an edge
- Another Year, Survived. Sunflower
- Older. Allegedly Wiser. Magnolia
- Grown, Not Necessarily Up. Violet
- Aged, Like Something Expensive. Rose
How it works
The PDF includes two versions of the tag sheet. Use whichever matches what you have on hand.
- Option A — Avery® 22802. Print directly on Avery 22802 sheets (2 × 3½” pre-cut tags, strings included, 8 per sheet, Letter). No cutting, no hole-punching.
- Option B — plain cardstock. Print on any cardstock (200 g/m² or heavier), Letter size. Cut along the dotted lines, punch a hole at the top, thread baker’s twine or ribbon.
- Tie to a present. The engraving does the talking.
If you like the engravings
Each flower on these tags is a real print. What the rose, peony, and the rest are actually up to — bred sterile, virus-streaked, older than bees — is in the botany of birthdays. The engravings themselves, footnotes and all, are in the shop, for the wall rather than the wrapping.
