“I Want You to Be Proud of What You Do” - Why Tags Are More Than Just Labels

When you give someone a handmade gift like a soft baby blanket, a tiny bear, or a cozy scarf, you’re not just handing over yarn. You’re offering your time, your care, and a part of yourself.

But what if the person receiving it never knows who made it?

What if you never say, “Yes, I made this”?

That’s when a tag becomes more than a finishing touch. It becomes a quiet statement of pride.

Recognition Is a Human Need

According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, recognition sits high on the list. Once we have food, safety, and love, we long for esteem. We want to feel valued, seen, and appreciated for who we are and what we create.

And let’s be honest. Makers are often humble. We gift our creations quietly, without tagging them, without saying what they really mean to us.

But you deserve to be seen.
You deserve to be recognized.
You deserve to feel proud.

A Tag Is a Small Act of Self-Respect

Adding a tag to your handmade gift says:

  • This wasn’t bought. I made it.
  • It has a story, and I’m part of it.
  • You mean so much to me, I created this with my own hands.

Whether it says your name, your maker brand, or something personal like Made with Love, a tag turns your gift into a keepsake. It honors your work and deepens the emotional meaning behind it.

Tags for Gift-Givers Who Make with Heart

At Cutpie, we believe tags are not just for sellers. They’re for anyone who creates with love. Our customers have used tags on:

  • Amigurumis for children with anxiety, labeled Emotional Support Animal
  • Baby blankets that say Handmade by Grandma
  • Wedding shawls with messages like For You, On Your Big Day

Each tag added something special. Each one made the gift feel complete.

A Gentle Reminder

Be proud of what you do.
Tag your work. Tell your story.
You’re not just giving yarn. You’re giving part of yourself.
