"This set of twelve 2.5 inch round gift tags is a little bit prim and a tiny bit proper all together in a pretty countdown of the gifts from "my true love" in the classic Christmas carol. Surrounding the colorful numbers are are snippets from a vintage 1800s book, naturally and artificially aged and distressed. The base of the tags is black, while the reverse has a blank creamy circle ready for your sentiments or greetings, all distressed to perfection. Extra long black hemp twine ties make it easy to attach the tags to your packages, jars, wreaths or baked goods! These tags are equally charming as paper Christmas ornaments, tie-on tags to keep track of beverages at a Holiday party, or place tags!"
