Wrapped in brown paper tied up with string! HELP

pjgtips

Hi last year, I tied up some Xmas presents with brown kraft/wrapping paper and decorated them with thin parcel string and addressed/tagged them using brown paper luggage labels.

They looked fantastic compared to my usual present wrapping - v. stylish - but this year I don't know where to get hold of the old fashioned brown paper luggage labels I used. (Last year's 'stock' had been hanging around for years and I ran out).

Can anyone help/or suggest a suitable alternative?

Many thanks

I think you might find luggage labels like that in the Post Office ...

Probably of little help to you, but my local 'McColls' had some of these in their sale basket for 30p (for a pack of 10). I bought a pack to use on my hampers. I could check to see if there's any left tomorrow if you want?

Ebay always have some

I've done this at Xmas too.

But I painted a pic on the parcel - an xmas tree or a star

try craft shops too, i wrap all my gifts in brown paper and just buy a natural coloured card and cut my own tags out that way the tag can be a different colour but still have a n earthy look
