Creative Uses for Pet ID Tags

A quick list of ideas for using pet tags

I bet you can come up with a bunch of your own!

• Luggage tags. Why pay $12 for a crappy leatherette luggage tag? Get an metal one with your information engraved on it for much less.
• Tool tags. Tag your tools with an engraved metal name tag so there's no question of who they belong to.
• Medical alert tags. Trust me, this a much cheaper way to get your medical alert information out there. Plastic or metal tag on a chain around your neck will tell any emergency responder what they need to know about your health.
• Bicycle tags. Tag your bike and make it easier to recover if stolen. Get a metal tag engraved with your name (DO NOT use a social security number, phone number, or address!!!) and afix it solidly to a discrete spot--like under the seat or the bottom of the frame with super glue.
• Kid tags. Tag your kid! Put an "If lost, phone ...." message on a bright plastic tag and hook it to your child's coat or let them wear it around like a necklace.
• Lunch box tags. Let everybody know just whose tuna sandwich that is--tag your lunch box with a message that says "Hands off, this lunch belongs to ."
• Gift tags. What a cool idea for gift tags! The tag itself becomes a useful name tag for the lucky recipient.
• Wine glass tags. Having a big party? Order a tag for every guest and tie it around the base of a wine glass with a pretty ribbon. Makes a great place tag as well as making sure everybody knows whose glass is whose.
• Musical instrument tags. A name tag attached to the handle of your violin case will sure make it easy to keep track of in band class!
• Losable items tags. How many umbrellas have you left on the bus? Tag 'em! How about reading glass cases? Cell phone?
