A Winter Holiday Treasure Trove

If your family is anything like mine, they expect a certain level of design from your holiday gift tags. Am I right? If you’re anything like me, come the slower pace of December I’m ready to give my creative side a rest. Pro tip: Cheat at the holidays. Take advantage of pre-made templates and printables, use that cheesy snow-capped font, buy some stock imagery for your gift tags.

Below I’ve collected some of the fonts, vectors, cards, brushes, and printables that have caught my eye recently. Like an Advent calendar, there are 25 goodies for you to open and enjoy. Unlike an Advent calendar, you can peek at them all at once. Also, sadly, there is no chocolate.
