I have a wooden chest, full of wrapping paper and ribbon and interesting gifts I’ve picked up throughout the year. I also collect unusual things to decorate the present:  things from nature like pine cones and shells, trinkets from the dollar store like hair bows or super hero figures.  I have my own December surprise when I open the chest each year - I often don’t remember who a particular present was intended for, but I almost always find the right thing for someone on my list.
