One of the most distinctive Christmas symbols is a pile of beautifully wrapped boxes near your chimney or Christmas trees.

A pile of gifts can become a perfect holiday decoration, but it only looks good if you carefully design its size, colors, and shape.

Here's how you can create this simple, but beautiful decoration at home.

Select a Focal Point

Decide where you want your gift pile to be the focal point. 

It could be near the Christmas tree, in a corner, or as a centerpiece on a table.

Wrap the Boxes

Wrap each gift box using different wrapping papers. 

Experiment with textures and colors to add visual interest. Ensure the tops and sides are neatly covered.

Tie with Ribbons

Tie colorful ribbons around each gift, securing them with a bow. You can use different ribbon styles and lengths for a playful effect.

Vary Box Sizes

Create a dynamic display by using boxes of various sizes. Stack them unevenly to mimic the appearance of a casually piled collection of gifts.

Place Strategically

Start by placing the larger gift boxes at the bottom and stack smaller ones on top. Tilt some boxes to break up the straight lines and add a casual touch.

Add Some Tilt

Tilt a few boxes at different angles to make the pile look more natural. This creates a sense of movement and makes it visually appealing.

Include Unwrapped Elements

Integrate a few unwrapped elements like plush toys, small decorative ornaments, or even fairy lights into the pile for added charm.

Incorporate Texture

To enhance visual appeal, incorporate textured elements like faux fur, glittered paper, or metallic finishes in your wrapping and decorations.

Personalize with Tags

Attach personalized gift tags to a couple of boxes for an extra touch. You can use simple hand-lettering or print festive labels.
