Your Light Shines Gift Idea
Pair a flashlight with a printable gift tag to create a practical gift that lets someone know how much they’re appreciated! This Your Light Shines Gift Idea is a simple way to recognize someone who brings a little light into your life. It’s a meaningful flashlight gift idea for co-workers, friends, family, or anyone you want to celebrate.
Every year, my husband and I like to come up with a DIY gift idea for his co-workers. One year, after a particularly tough time at his workplace, we wanted to recognize the people who continued to show up every day and let their lights shine! We built DIY wooden stars and attached these inspirational tags!
Then, after my daughter needed her tires aired up, we realized our kids both needed flashlights to keep in the glove boxes of their cars, in case of emergency. We bought a three-pack of flashlights from Costco and attached these tags for a glowing stocking stuffer!
Whether you attach these tags to a flashlight, a homemade gift, or something else that represents light, it’s the gift that lets others know you recognize and appreciate the light they bring into not only your life but others’ lives, as well!

Who To Give A Your Light Shines Gift To
A flashlight paired with a Your Light Shines gift tag makes a thoughtful gift for just about anyone! It’s a practical way to show appreciation while giving someone something they can actually use.
Here are a few people you could give this gift to:
- Co-Workers – Recognize someone who makes a difference in the workplace.
- Teachers – Thank a teacher who has made a positive impact.
- Friends and Family – Let someone know how much their encouragement means to you.
- Teenagers and Young Adults – Give them a flashlight to keep in their car for emergencies while letting them know you see their light!
- Kids – Encourage kids to keep shining their light! Plus, kids love flashlights.
- Volunteers – Show appreciation for the time and energy they give to others.
These flashlight gifts make great stocking stuffers, Christmas gifts, Pay It Forward Christmas Idea, or simple thank you gifts for any time of the year!
Tips For Putting Together A Flashlight Gift
Although I created these tags to put on the wooden stars we made, the simpler and faster option is to use them on flashlights! Small flashlights are easy on the budget and handy for recipients to keep in a car, purse, or drawer.
If you’re putting together a bunch of gifts for co-workers, teachers, volunteers, students, or family members, you can buy flashlights in multipacks to keep the cost down.
You could even include a little note telling the recipient an instance where you witnessed their light shine!
How To Use The Light Shines Gift Tags
- Print the Your Light Shines Printable of your choice on cardstock. There are two sayings and three sizes. I chose Kraft cardstock for a more rustic look!
- Cut the Your Light Shines tags.
- Punch a hole (or one in each corner).
- Attach to a gift that signifies light, using jute, twine, yarn, or ribbon.
- Gift to someone who lets their light shine!
