Just wondered why the tags have a hole in them and why they never say to put the tag inside. They always hold the tag up to the gift.

Makes no sense to put the to/from tag inside the bag. People need to see on the outside who it is for, at least.
My guess is that Q or the manufacturer figured out it was not so easy to use them (tags) on the outside and had to come up with some use for them as they were a big part of that large piece count.

I fold the end of the ribbon in half and push it thru the hold in the tag.I'll tie my bow after I attach the tag or tie ehe bow and just tie a knot around the tag. It all depnds on how much ribbon I have depending on the size of the bag and what I have wrapped. On the really small bags I'll cut the tag in half (in the crease) and just use a piece of the Scotch wrapping tape to stick it on the bag. It works for me and takes no time at all. The ribbon is a decent quality.It's easy.
----------------------------
That is what I do too!! Before tying the bow, just put the bag ribbon though the hole on the tag!! I have often just used some colored yarn and attached the tag to the bag by the bow!! I was one who wrapped and wrapped, then I found these bags!! Now Christams wrapping is easy!!

@BLH , @Mominohio I agree with you. The ribbons/tags do not work well together, so the piece of instructional paper inside was most likely an afterthought by the manufacturer. Let's see if they come out with a brand new assortment in a week or two that corrects that.
