Dinner and Dishes Gift Tags

If you’re looking to bless someone with a gift that is practical, easy to make, but so thoughtful, print out one of these adorable “dinner & dishes” gift tags (free printable below) and pair it with some paper plates, a meal delivery gift card or casserole, and you’ve got a complete gift!

With this gift, you’re able to take dinner and dishes off their plate for the evening! (Or, put dinner…on their plate? You know what I mean!)

This gift works for so many occasions – teacher appreciation, a family with a new baby, a friend recovering from surgery, a birthday, someone going through a rough patch…you get the idea!

How to make a Dinner & Dishes gift

All you need to make this sweet gift is:

The printed gift tag – just print and cut down to size (there’s even a space to hole punch for easy attaching!)

Disposable paper products – I like to include large dinner plates, maybe some small coordinating plates, and napkins. These can be found in the party section at Walmart, Target, Dollar Tree, etc.  You can also include cups or silverware for a larger gift!

A dinner option – Depending on your budget and time, you can treat them to either a gift card for meal delivery (like Door Dash, Grub Hub, or Uber Eats) or a homecooked meal.

For gift cards: I always like to grab them at Kroger with their fuel points coupon so I can really rack up the points for gas!

For a homecooked meal: there are SO many PPP recipes that work well for bringing to someone else! Here’s a few ideas to get you started.

Wrap it all up with some ribbon or stack your casseroles in a box and you’ve got a gift they will appreciate so much!

Here’s why we love this gift:

It’s thoughtful – it says “I appreciate you and I’m thinking of you” whether you’re celebrating them or praying over them during a hard season.

It’s easy – you can print the tag at home, use ribbon you have on hand, and put the disposable paper products AND gift card in your regular grocery orders so you’re not running around to find supplies.

It’s useful – everybody’s gotta eat! And there’s no better feeling than being able to just toss everyone’s dishes in the trash instead of filling your sink after a yummy meal.
