Think outside the box and use little collectibles and knickknacks for personalized gift tags.

1. An antique German ornament with a simple “to” tag can go from a gift to the tree.
2. Fresh greenery and a vintage Santa stamp spruce up an everyday tag.
3. Attach this sparkly treble-clef pin to a music lover’s gift.
4. A gold compact opens to reveal the recipient and giver.
5. Playing cards turned into gift cards are a sure bet.
6. An itty-bitty frame makes a picture-perfect tag.
7. For the sophisticated sweet tooth: a candy mold with the recipient’s monogram.
8. Photocopy an old family photo onto plain paper for a vintage touch. Silver or gold tinsel adds a flicker of fun.
9. An old clock face makes a timely greeting.
10. Thread a piece of paper through a Bakelite belt buckle for a stylish accent.
11. Serve up a unique label using a vintage cheese knife.
