I am going to use Sharpies to spruce up my Christmas labels!
I love to use sharpies to write on my christmas labels for gifts. They work the best to write on the slick surfaces and don’t smear!
I LOVE Sharpies!! I use them to write on Christmas cards and gift tags!
I always use sharpies to address my Christmas cards and fill out my gift tags. This year, we’ll also be using them to decorate the paper for wrapping up some family gifts that have to be sent off to the other side of the US.

This year, we’ll be using Sharpies to sign and address our Christmas cards. (Note to self: gotta get on that. lol)
I use Sharpies to address all my shipping. And if I don’t use a tag, I use Sharpies to write to and from info on the the wrapping paper of gifts. Looooove me some Sharpies!
I’m going to use them to get organized after the holidays and seperate my holiday ornaments and decorations so decorating next year isn’t a bear!
I love Sharpies!

We used Sharpies at our homeschool Christmas party yesterday – I wrote kids’ names on take-out boxes to keep their edible creations in for later consumption. One of the better ideas of the day!
I’m going to continue using Sharpies to decorate the interior of my hallway bathroom bathtub wall because my husband is too busy studying to get his Masters’ Degree to renovate our crappy bathroom. The former owners put up cheap FLOOR tile on bathtub wall and I’m so embarrassed. So I write Bible verses on the wall with Sharpie’s. If you double-dog dare me, I’ll send a photo.
I keep a sharpie on my keychain and have the super fine point sharpies in my purse. In 10 colors. And I have 2 sharpie pens, looove them. I always address packages with sharpies. And am tempted to make wrapping paper now!
My husband is a teacher. There are Sharpies all around our place!
I use Sharpies to write on Christmas presents instead of tags. My kids could care less about the tags.
I’m a teacher….and I use them for everything!!! Making posters, bulletin boards, classroom displays…they write on everything! I use them to label my student’s projects, books, snowpants, gym shoes….the ways I use sharpies are countless!!!!
I use the Sharpie pens to label Christmas presents. I use the markers to label the kids toys (if we have duplicates) so they know whose is whose. Thank you Sharpie for the wonderful giveaway!

We will use them for making colorful homemade gift tags…Sharpies make it easy to write the kids names on tags and make fun pictures. thanks!
I LOVE Sharpies. I use the fine point ones to write EVERYTHING–bills, thank you’s, lists, etc.
I left a comment on the Sharpie blog!
I use Sharpies for my Naughty and Nice list!
I will be using Sharpies to make gift tags and label cards. And, we made paper snowflakes last night with the kids, so I’m thinking of picking up some of the metallic ones and make them fancy like Alli suggested!
Oh I love my sharpies! ENter me please and thanks for the heads up on the blog and good ideas!
We use Sharpies to address gift tags and Christmas card envelopes. I also must admit, much to my husband’s dismay, that I allow my five year old son to draw with Sharpies from time to time. His drawings of Christmas trees and holiday balls are so bright when done with Sharpies!

Sharpies are pretty much my favorite! This holiday season I will be using them to address gift tags, make my own design on wrapping paper, decorate ornaments, and address holiday cards! Thanks!
I use Sharpies to address our packages. They work great on the slick-type envelopes without smearing.

I am going to use Sharpies to address all my envelopes and packages so the ink never runs and the writing is clear and vivid.
I just commented on the sharpie blog about using sharpies and recipe cards.
I use Sharpie’s for decorating envelopes, addressing packages and for writing out gift tags
Thanks for the chance!
I decorate my desk at work with plain white paper. I leave a stack of Sharpies nearby and everyone writes a message or draws a picture when they are in my area.
i’d use them by writing out Xmas tags, of course!
i also posted on the sharpie blog!
We uses sharpies this year to write on the back of our first Christmas photo we put in our cards this year!
We use sharpies to address all of our packages for mailing.
Every Christmas since I can remember my brother and I wrap presents together on Christmas Eve and he always uses a Black Sharpie med point to sign his Christmas tags. I always use a green or red fine point, depending on which will match the best.

I commented on the Sharpie Blog and love all the cool new ideas they have.
I love to use sharpies for chrsitmas cards, and christmas scrapbooking pages, its so much fun to use the colors to amp up the paper without spending lots of money!!
I am using Sharpies to sign all of our photo Christmas cards. I also used some Sharpies (black and other colors) to “fix” some chipped paint spots and spruce up items I bought at thrift stores to craft and turn into gifts. Like on banged up picture frames and scratched decorative pieces.
We use different colored Sharpies to sign cards, and we’ll probably give some to Mom for Christmas – she loves them.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I am going to use Sharpies to spruce up my Christmas labels!
This year, I’m giving Sharpies as stocking stuffers. They are so handy and everyone appreciates sucha useful gift.

We use sharpies to decorate sign our gift tags and to jazz up plain glass/plastic ball ornaments.

Every holiday, we spend the month before making holiday cards for homeless individuals in New Orleans. We do this for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter. My daughter believes that everyone needs to know they are loved and thought about on the holiday, and this has been our way of doing so. That is what we will be using our Sharpies for this holiday season, thankful that we have the things we do – despite how tight things may be financially – and remember that there are those out there that suffer far greater than not being able to get the new Littlest Pet Shot or Lost season on DVD.

We will use them on ornaments for the tree and use to mark the gifts
i love to doodle with them
left comment on sharpie blog, love their blog.
I’m going to use them when I’m writing names on the presents & tags!
We use Sharpies all the time …for labeling, addressing and more..
i’ll use them to make my own gift tags
This season I plan to use sharpies to create drawing outlines for kids to color on at church. I use the different colors of sharpies to draw out rough images and then let the children fill in all the blanks with their creative masterpieces.
I am using Sharpies this holiday by labeling my Xmas totes. I’m reorganzing & labeling better this year. You can use Sharpies right on the label & then if you change your mind, just use a magic eraser to erase what you wrote!
I’m also using a silver sharpie for my cards & decorating some ornaments w/ Sharpies. I am a total Sharpie addict!

I’m guessing that using a sharpie to write my phone number on my kid’s arm doesn’t count?
Seriously though.. when my kids were learning to put shoes on and they kept getting them on the wrong feet. I used sharpies to draw an L on the left one and taught them how to make the L with their Left hand
it works every time 
We’ve also used sharpies to decorate ornaments for classmates and teachers.
Hello, my name is Brandy Hazard, and i am 18 years old. I am currently a college student at AIU. I find it so confusing to located certain files to find my homework and to store important files. I tend to put important assignments in the wrong folders, and when the due dates come around, i end up having to turn my assignments in late becasue i stored it in the wrong folder and lost it. I believe by winning this package it will give me the chance to label all of my folders and files. These sharpies will come in handy more when it comes to color coding these files. I think this is such a great oppurtunity to become more organized. I also believe that by winning this sharpie package, it will help me become more organized and self efficent.
I use Shapies to label my gifts.
I use them to address my Christmas card envelopes. That way, if they get wet, the ink doesn’t run and the cards get where they are supposed to go. And they come in such neat colors
I left a comment on the Sharpie blog, there are some good ideas on the website!
I have already used Sharpies on our Holiday cards. I always decorate the back side of the envelope with them also. I love the metallics.
We use them when addressing Christmas cards and on gift tags. Also marking plates when bringing food to pot lucks
Every year at Christmas we buy socks, house dresses ,robes, shirts and puzzle books for the nursing home residents at the place I used to work. So many of the residents are left alone during the holidays and we like to let them know they are not. We use Sharpies every year to write the residents names on the items so they stay with the right people.

I use Sharpies on my tags and cards. Thanks!
The ‘to and from’ gift tags are too busy with all those graphics – nothing but a sharpie works to clearly identify the tags.
to cross out my advent calender
My kids and I would use the sharpies to decorate cards that we make family members for Christmas.
I use my sharpie to color in my black wooden Ikea chairs when they have nicks in them. Totally solves the problem.
I use sharpies to label all the gifts. No need for gift tags – sharpies work great!

we make our own present labels, draw, color, and add details to papercrafting projects
I’ll use them to sign cards, gift tags, and keep track of our family schedules on our master calendar. Thanks for the chance to win.

I will use my sharpies to decorate the front of my greeting card envelopes.
I use Sharpies for addressing the packages I have to send to out of town family members.
I use Sharpies to address envelopes for snail mail sweeps.
I am going to use them on my packages to write tags, ink smears
For labeling gifts.
I will label gifts, address envelopes, and make lists.
My kids and I made our own wrapping paper and cards this year. The kids got crafty and decorated brown paper with Sharpies. We wrapped all our gifts with this paper. In addition, the kids helped make Christmas cards for their parents and Aunts, using Sharpies.
Thanks so much and Happy Holidays.
Just the way I use Sharpies all year – the permanent markers for freezer and refrigerated leftovers and regular multi-colored ones to mark and decorate gift packages.
Oh gosh I use them for practically everything. From writing on our items we freeze , canning jars, art projects, marking items when we build something.. We are a sharpie family. lol..
Thanks for the chance and Happy Holidays!
I would use the sharpies to decorate Christmas Card Envelopes.
We use Sharpies during the holidays to create our own personal ornaments.

I use them all the time but for Christmas I will use them on my name tags and some of my Christmas cards. thank you!
I commented on the Sharipe blog. Thanks again!
I would be lost without my sharpies!
I use them to label clothing (things do shrink and I use them to mark the current measurement of the item -great for hand me downs).. I use them as laundry markers, who’s is who’s.. I label CD’s with them.. I label CD Jackets with them.. I label Ziplocs that hold tech items with what cord goes to what so you dont have 20 cords to go thru to find the right one. I label meat in the freezer .. after I seperate family packs into smaller portions..
Gee, is there any thing I dont do with my sharpies? I dont think so.. I even use them to black out my addy on magazines I get delivered so I can freecycle them! Now thats a green idea for you..
I also label things I bake with them. Date made and enclose a recipe card written with sharpie.. they dont run or fade so its perfect.
I forgot to mention how I use them at holiday time !!
I bake gifts for neighbors and I wrap them and make a recipe card written in sharpie pen.. its perfect.. we all know whats its like to have a recipe that runs or fades when your hands are wet in the kitchen. Sharpies are perfect for this. They dont run and they dont fade even when working in a kitchen with products and wet fingers!
I use them to write out the labels on the packages.. and the Gold and silver ones to draw on the paper designs or messages! They are so versatile. I also make cut out snowflakes and decorate them with sharpie pens to hang in the windows and for the tree!
I am going to use sharpie’s to label the children’s holiday craft projects with their names.
I’m using Sharpies on the lids of all the goodies I canned this summer – date and contents – so the lucky folks I’m giving home grown/home canned treasures to will know what they are!
I use sharpies everyday! I draw arrows in my children’s shoes so they know which foot they go on!
Here is the blog post where I talk about using sharpies!

Here is the comment I left on their website:
I didn’t know you had silver and gold! That is awesome! I use sharpies year round in my home!
But especially for Christmas ornaments! We give them as gifts each year and we write the name and year on them with a Sharpie – My husband has ornaments all the way back to his birth year!! I am excited to continue the tradition with our children!
i would make my holiday cards,. and then some decorations on present weap
I am a graphic artist, and I use the ultra-fine line Sharpies to create linear drawings. My current project is a rendering of our son’s century-old home, which I will over-lay with a watercolor wash. We will frame it and put it under the tree for him!
We like to use Sharpies to decorate white wrapping paper. First we stamp it with outlines of holiday designs. Then we fill in the designs with Sharpies. Even though we use the same stamps year after year the wrapping paper always looks different.

I always use them on the gift tags — they never smear.
I got some plastic non-disposable cups that we’re going to have everyone decorate, write their name on their cup and use for Christmas. Much better than constantly throwing away disposable cups (and drinks because you’re not sure which one is yours any more) and they get a little holiday keepsake to take home.

I use Sharpies to write on name tags.
This is the year i WILL label the boxes of decorations so I know just what is in each one. Heck, maybe I’ll even make a master list with #s on it so I know which boxes are missing!!!

I do a lot of machine embroidery. If I do applique and don’t get the fabric cut close enough to the stitching, I use my Sharpie markers to color in the fabric the same color as the thread so it’s not obvious. Same thing when two colors don’t quite touch each other – I fill in the gaps with Sharpies. Thank goodness they come in so many colors!

i am going to use sharpies to make ornaments for my in-laws and parents. we are going to do silhouettes of the kids and write their names and the date on there…
I’m going to use sharpies to write everyone’s names on their stockings, since I always end up splattering and gooping up the fabric paint.
I rubber-stamp my own cards and use the lovely colored sharpies to embellish.
I love using Sharpies to write on my gift tags and to write personal messages on our Christmas cards!
