If you cannot find any of the three mentioned above, or if you don’t have much time working on the frames and wrapping them with decorative fabric, you may opt to use the semi-transparent plastic containers.
Use some string lights and wrap the boxes with Christmas ribbons, voila! You got yourself some lighted gift boxes that will keep the neighborhood talking.
