I sometimes embroider them if they're for a special person, occasion, or whatever. Usually I put some Printed Treasures in the computer, pick a fancy font, and write what I want to say. I may or may not add clip art or "real" art, ie, a drawn and inked picture or symbol. I have also copied a certain picture on the label and then added wording to it. However you decide to, just remember to do it...
