Board games make wonderful gifts because they’re meant to be shared.
They’re a fun choice for families, friends, couples, and anyone who enjoys bringing people together around the table.

- Friends: Choose a game that suits your friends’ personalities, whether they love strategy, trivia, word games, or something that gets everyone laughing.

How to Use the Printable Christmas Game Gift Tags
These gift tags are easy to prepare, whether you’re wrapping one game or several gifts for the holidays.
- Print the tag. Use your home printer or send the file to a local print shop. I prefer heavy cardstock because it gives the tag a nice, sturdy feel.
- Cut it out. Choose your favorite design and trim around the edges.
- Add a personal message. There’s room on the back to write a quick note to the recipient.
- Attach it to your gift. Tie it onto a ribbon or string, or attach it to your wrapped game.
I usually use my local UPS Store for printing because it’s close to home, but you can absolutely print these at home, too.
