Express Yourself: Fun Luggage Tags for All Styles of Travelers

If you're an artist and want the baggage handlers and people waiting by the conveyor belt to know it, then you can choose a bag tag showing an image of box of paints. Again, you can add whatever contact info you like on the back.

Of course, sometimes you don't want to make any statements except the obvious one: "Not your bag." There's a nice design for that, too.

If you're a funny monkey in any way, and own up to it, then someone thought of you as well, a certain SJB Photos. I like this monkey, even though it can come across as rather scary to a weary traveler picking up your bag by mistake. But perhaps that's the point.

If you have a little monkey traveling with you, then Zazzle has a bag for him/her as well.

I love the sea and miss going to the beach. Somehow I never made it there in recent years. This luggage tag is for those who, perhaps, go on a beach holiday, or simply like the sea, as I do. The "dream big" is a favorite mantra of the designer but also one that works well with an image of boundless sea. I looked on Zazzle for other images of the sea on luggage tags and couldn't find any, so if I make it to the beach this summer, I'll make some bag tags myself.

If you're a feisty thing or a fan of Internet memes, Like a Boss among them, then look for luggage tags on Zazzle and you will find plenty to choose from: there's "Honey Badger Don't Care," there are many mustaches, owls, and so on. I'm showing Challenge Accepted, which may work if you're into sports, being a boss, or, well, accepting challenges. I'm also showing a tattoo owl.

If you're a fan of baseball, you may like a tag with an image of an old baseball.

I also created some luggage tags for cool cats and monkeys that straddle a line between nerdy and hipster. Here they are, with a Hands Off This is Mine funny warning.

A cute or wryly humorous bag tag can be, well, quite a fun conversation starter. Imagine sitting at a coffee shop in an airport with a trolley case set off by a nice luggage tag. Or waiting on the airplane to put your bag in the overhead bins, asking for someone to help you – someone who notices your sense of humor and fires up a conversation. Or waiting at the conveyor belt with other people, seeing your luggage, lifting it up from the belt, and getting ready to leave with someone behind you who has noticed your custom bag tag . . . someone who will then possibly wait with you at a bus stop outside the terminal, eagerly awaiting a chance to comment on your style of humor and the way you identify yourself as a well, in the case of these hands off bag tags, cool nerd, nerd-hipster, cool cat, or nerdy monkey. Enjoy! :)

I hope you've enjoyed my selection of fun, cute, and / or humorous luggage tags. Enjoy your travels!

If you're not planning a trip but know someone who is, consider surprising him/her with a luggage tag as a way of wishing your friend happy travels!
