My first thought was something I saw another WAHM do...she bought a stamp with her business logo, and stamped it onto the bags with gold ink (I think the bags were navy or forest green...maybe black...it's been a while).
So, that doesn't fit the criteria for this time
but it was quick and cheap to mass-produce a zillion once she bought the stamp and inkpad.
It sounds to me like you're going to need to use your printer to make words...either your business name, or something to the gist of "Happy Mother's Day." But in case your stuff is actually bought for a birthday, or not all of it sells, then having them say "Mother's Day" would be bad. So, I'd go with your business name...or perhaps a generic word like "Relax."
How about you cut colored cardstock squares/rectangles...cut the corners like lace...punch a cirle or oval from the middle to make it like a picture frame...and stick a white piece of paper behind it with whatever wording printed in color.
So, you'd have maybe a pink bag, your business name in pink on a white background, framed by an orange square.

sort of like this...only just paper tags to glue onto the bag, framing a word. Glue the whole thing onto the gift bag. Smaller than this photo...like 3"x3" perhaps.
