Avery Logo

The one thing that I can’t stand about the holidays is the hustle and bustle of everything going on around me.  I feel like I’m being pulled in every which direction and with all the cards to prepare, address labels to create and print, envelopes to seal, Avery has made things easier for me this year with their free downloadable Avery Wizard Holiday Edition software.

  • Avery Wizard Software for Microsoft Office Holiday Edition
  • Red Holiday Tote
  • Shipping Labels
  • Return Address Labels
  • White Easy Peel Address Labels
  • Clear Easy Peel Address Labels
  • Clear Easy Peel Return Address Labels
  • Stretchable Fabric Transfers
  • Matte White Note Cards

I was so excited when I opened my box and saw all the goodies!  Christmas cards are going to be a breeze this year with the Easy Peel Address Labels and Return Address Labels. There are so many things that you can do with the Avery Wizard software to make the holidays easier and affordable. You can easily create holiday-themed party invitations, buffet cards, place cards, mailing labels and more with the new holiday software.

Here are some tips from Avery that can make the holidays easier.

Holiday Greetings and Party Ideas:

  • Creative Mailing Labels: Use the Avery Wizard Holiday Edition software’s easy mail merge feature to send holiday themed mailing labels using Avery Easy Peel® Clear Address Labels and Avery Easy Peel® Clear Return Address Labels
  • Holiday Greeting Cards and Party Invitations: Be original! Develop your own customized holiday greeting cards and party invitations with Avery Note Cards
  • Personalized Place Cards: Whether you’re planning an informal holiday brunch or an elaborate dinner, help organize your seating plan and honor your guests by printing personalized holiday-themed place cards with Avery Two-Side Printable Clean Edge® Business Cards
  • Buffet Cards: Questions from guests on what you’re serving? Make it easier to organize your buffet table and enhance your guests’ dining experience by printing buffet cards using Avery Small Tent Cards
  • Party favors: Use Avery White Shipping Labels with TrueBlock™ Technology to personalize party favors for friends and family at parties and get-togethers

Gift-Related Ideas:

  • Holiday Gift Tags: Personalize your holiday gift tags using Avery Small Tent Cards and Avery White EcoFriendly Address Labels for everything from boxed sweets for neighbors to gifts from Santa
  • Festive-Themed Cloth Totes or T-Shirts: Give festive personalized totes or T-shirts using Avery T-Shirt Transfers to decorate them; you can even include photos
  • Holiday CD Labels: Develop a personalized CD with Avery Matte White CD Labels to show off family photos or the season’s classic holiday tunes

Get Organized for the Holidays Tips

  • Highlight Holiday Recipes: Using Avery NoteTabs™, find and mark your favorite recipes in magazines and cookbooks when you need it. Make notes to yourself on substitute ingredients or cooking times to perfect your dish.
  • Label Gifts for Easy Identification: Have you ever wrapped gifts without remembering who they were for? Use Avery Label Pads to quickly identify gifts before and after you wrap them to keep yourself organized
  • Personalized Holiday Binders for Planning: Use customized Avery Signature Binders and Avery Index Maker® dividers to design the perfect binder for holiday planning. Keep your gift lists, recipes, schedules and party invitations organized for easy access

I’ve been using Avery products for as long as I can remember and Avery is a brand you will see throughout my house, although mostly in the office.  Avery labels help keep me organized and sane.  I’m very picky on how my files are kept, but Avery makes it very easy and everything looks tidy.

      The Avery Wizard is just what I was looking for. A cheap(free) address label program that can import my address book from Outlook Express.

      main entry: I like it that you can use your own templete and do maybe a complete matching theme set as a gift like a card/envolope/gift tag and there software will give you that advange by using your own clip art,for example I know someone who loves snowmen so I could wrap the gift and do the matching set of card/envolope & gift tag all in that theme using the software to create it. I love Avery products espeacailly the iron on papers they offer for fabric use. thanks

      I like that its free, aparently very easy to use according to the reviews, and that it works in 64 bit Windows 7. All of which are important to me. I currently use a very old version of Avery’s labalmaker software but I’ll probably be upgrading soon. Thanks for the chance to win a cool label gift pack!
