The annual Gift of Giving event is back, and it’s brought with it some tricky tasks to get done in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of these event missions asks you to find hidden gift boxes to claim some special rewards.
The valley is rather large, and the gift boxes are fairly small, which makes this a fairly tough quest to get done. If you’re having trouble with it, here’s how to find gift boxes in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to find Gift of Giving event gift boxes in Disney Dreamlight Valley
You can find the Gift of Giving event gift boxes anywhere in the main valley. They can appear in any of the biomes around Dreamlight Valley, including all of the following areas.
- Sunlit Plateau
- Frosted Heights
- Dazzle Beach
- Plaza
- Forest of Valor
- Peaceful Meadow
- Forgotten Lands
- Glade of Trust
If you have access to DLC worlds, like Wishblossom Ranch or Storybook Vale, you will not find any presents or other event items around them. Instead, you must stick to the main village to locate them.
How to find presents in Gift of Giving event in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The presents spawn randomly for all players, meaning there’s no way to know exactly where they’ll appear. My first one spawned in the Sunlit Plateau biome, close to the west end by the ramp that leads up to the Forgotten Lands, while my friends appeared over near the eastern wall in the Forest of Valor.
To find your gift boxes, you simply have to scour every inch of the valley until you locate them. It’s a bit frustrating and tedious, especially if your valley is decorated, but there’s no way to make this process any easier.
You can try using furniture mode to scour the valley more quickly, but even this trick isn’t reliable, as it can be easy to overlook the presents. I searched using this mode twice and missed the gift box entirely, only finding it when I opted to ride around with a mount.
The presents are all quite small, so be sure to check behind buildings, plants, and other such furniture you have placed. Search all corners, too, as I’ve previously had many key event items, like Cheshire Cracks, pop up in very small, hidden areas.

- Large Square Gift Box
- Round Gift Box
- Square Gift Box

Gift box reward in Gift of Giving event in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Finding and interacting with each gift box drops a recipe you can read to unlock a new Touch of Magic design. Each one is a gift you can fully customize with patterns, motifs, and colors of your choosing.
Once you’ve unlocked a recipe from opening one of the gifts, you must head to a crafting station to actually make it. The exact recipe for each one varies, but they can all be found under the Furniture category.
After making any of the gift boxes, open your inventory, switch to the Furniture tab, select Customize, and choose to add a new option. Locate the present you made and get to work designing it so you can then place it in your valley.
