Batteries not Included. Download this free Battery Gift Tag and become a child’s superhero this Christmas season with this practical gift idea! Or encourage someone with well wishes of ENERGY through the holiday break.

Battery Gift Tag for Christmas

On Frugal Coupon Living, it’s the year of the practical gift. In year’s past, we shared with you our Fleece Navidad Blanket (that was a hit) and our M&M Mason Jar Poem. This year we brought you the Gift Wrap Printable and our latest one, a Battery Gift Tag.  Both are found in our list of Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Neighbors.

Okay, so it seems like a silly gift but how many times has Christmas morning arrived and you lack a battery for a toy? I cannot tell you the numerous times this happened to us. I am lucky enough that I stock up on Amazon Basic Batteries with our monthly Subscribe & Save, so luckily we have a battery box I can always run too, but others might not be as organized as you when it comes to remaining on top of your Amazon Prime needs (wink!)

Battery Gift Tag

If you want to be a super hero this holiday season, gift batteries. The kids will thank you when they can enjoy their new toys on Christmas morning. You can gift this to neighbors, co-workers, friends, teachers and more! It can be a small part of a larger gift if you just feel silly handing over batteries. Maybe you gift it with a child’s toy too!

Battery Gift Tag Supplies

Not many supplies are needed for this craft. I actually used  curling ribbon I keep in my gift wrapping drawers. Seriously my favorite part of wrapping a gift is sliding the blade of my scissors along the back of the curling ribbon and Voilà – there it is, an adorable curl!

You obviously need batteries. Like I said, we have a stockpile of Amazon Basic Batteries but they don’t gift as well (unless you wrap with gift wrap.) They come in a cardboard box which could make a pretty wrapped present. I picked up these batteries at my local grocery store – just a quick add to my shopping cart!

Battery Gift Tag Directions

I print my gift tags at Staples Copy Center, more on that below. We order our four gift tags for under $1!  In your free download, are gift tags for those that celebrate Christmas and those that use more of a generic term like holidays… you can gift this for all!

Use ribbon you have on hand and tie your Battery Gift Tag to your batteries without wrapping or you can wrap in a small cardboard box ( the Amazon Basic Batteries will come in an easy to wrap box).
