The tags are numbered and have the initials, age and gift suggestions for an individual. You may purchase any of the gift suggestions or provide a gift card. Gifts should be wrapped and have the ornament and tag placed on the outside. Gift cards should be placed in an envelope with the ornament and tag. Gifts should be returned to the church as soon as possible but no later than December 15.
