Christmas printables for a small gift

START SMALL

Choose your Woodland book gift

Choose this family for a handwritten keepsake that stays with a book. The fox, owl, hare and robin let you match the tag to the reader’s bookmark.

Just a keepsake · one sheet

Start with the dedication bookmark PDF. Cut one 40 × 170 mm bookmark and write a thought to keep; leave the book title and favorite page for the reader if you prefer. No tag or sleeve is needed.

Dedication bookmarks · US Letter · 1 page · Dedication bookmarks · A4 · 1 page

A matched gift · two sheets

Add the Woodland tag PDF when you want to label the wrapping too. Cut the same animal from each sheet. Choose “A story for you” for a birthday, thank-you or any-day book gift; choose “Christmas wishes” for Christmas.

Use matching paper sizes for both PDFs. Each sheet has several pieces; you only need one bookmark and, if chosen, one tag. These Woodland editions are print-only: download separately.

Next: Write, cut and give the book gift with the illustrated guide below. Add the optional long sleeve only if you want a removable paper cover; it is a separate two-page PDF with its own folding guide.

A BOOK GIFT TO KEEP

Make a matched Woodland book gift

Use a book you already have or plan to give. The original Woodland tag and dedication bookmark sheets share fox, owl, hare and robin book illustrations. Choose the same animal on both sheets; the long sleeve has a simple book outline rather than another animal design.

1. Choose an animal and matching paper

The tag sheet has eight 80 x 43 mm tags: one Christmas wishes tag and one A story for you tag for each animal. The bookmark sheet has four 40 x 170 mm dedication bookmarks, one of each animal. For an evergreen gift, choose an A story for you tag. Choose US Letter or A4 for the paper loaded in your printer.

2. Gather and print

You need a printer, printer-supported paper, ruler, scissors and pen. Use tape, or a hole punch and string, to attach the tag. The optional sleeve also needs paper adhesive. A firmer sheet can help a tag or bookmark, but heavier stock and folds reduce sleeve space; use only stock your printer supports.

Print single-sided at 100% / Actual size with Fit to page off. Measure the printed 50 mm reference before cutting. The files cannot set your printer. Choose paper · Check print scale.

3. Write before cutting

Write the recipient and sender on the tag. On the matching bookmark, complete For, From, Book title, A favorite page and A thought to keep. Example wording: For Maya; From Jon; Book title: the book you are giving; A favorite page: a page number you chose; A thought to keep: I hope this story makes you curious. Use your own words, or leave the reading fields for the recipient.

4. Cut one pair

Cut the solid outer borders of your chosen tag and bookmark. Keep the other animals for another gift. Attach the tag to the book wrapping with tape, or punch a small hole clear of the animal and writing and tie it with string.

5. Add a sleeve if you want one

The optional long Woodland sleeve has a cutting net on page 1 and assembly diagrams on page 2 in each Letter/A4 PDF. Its 50 × 180 mm panels are intended for the 40 × 170 mm dedication bookmark. The older 45 × 145 mm sleeve is too short. Paper thickness and folds reduce usable space; fit has not been physically tested. Follow the sleeve’s own cut, dry-fold and glue guide, keep its top open and never force the bookmark.

6. Give the book and removable keepsake

Slide the bookmark in gently, keeping the sleeve top open, then place it with the book. You can also put the dedication bookmark directly with the book and skip the sleeve. The bookmark stays removable so the reader can use it.

These Woodland files are print-only. Download them separately; they do not support Studio editing or a combined Print Tray packet. The giving-ideas sheet is a separate optional planning aid, outside the matched Woodland illustration family.
