I believe the answer is:

stag night

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'celebration' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'small label on odd thing' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'label' becomes 'tag' (synonyms).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'odd' indicates anagramming the letters.
'thing' is an anagram of 'night'.
'tag' inserted inside 'night' is 'tagnight'.
's'+'tagnight'='STAG NIGHT'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
