Competition | Design a Christmas gift tag

Iona Bower September 19, 2019

See your design printed for all readers of The Simple Things to enjoy

We know it’s only October and generally at The Simple Things we don’t like to even mention Christmas until at least after Bonfire Night. But this year we wanted to invite you to bring a bit of extra joy to the giving process by designing a gift tag for others to use and to share.

We’ll turn our favourite designs into a sheet of actual gift tags in the December issue so everyone can enjoy your handiwork.

How to enter

Download the gift tag template here.

You can print it and draw on it directly, or use a computer to help you design it, or any other creative means that you have at your fingertips.

Email us a PDF or jpeg of your design with your name and phone number to
thesimplethings@iceberg press.co.uk, marked Gift Tag Competition, or post it to The Simple Things, Iceberg Press, Exchange Workspace, 1 Matthews Yard, Off Surrey Street, Croydon, CR0 1UH. You have until 23 October. Good luck!

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
