A whole stack of colorfully wrapped presents, each with its own bow — this design shows the classic gifts under the Christmas tree, maybe the most exciting sight of the whole holiday season. This coloring page is ready to print for free and color however you like.
Why the gifts are a special design
Several presents in different shapes and sizes mean each one can get its own pattern and its own color. That makes this design especially versatile — plaid, stripes, dots, or stars are all fair game, and by the end you get a colorful, cheerful pile of presents.

🎄 Fun facts about Christmas gifts
Wrapping gifts in colorful paper isn't actually as old a tradition as you might think — it only became popular in the 19th century, once printed paper became cheaper and easier to find. Before that, gifts were often simply wrapped in cloth. Today, the wrapping itself is part of the fun: the rustle of the paper, the many colors and bows under the tree are, for many families, one of the most special parts of the holiday season.
