If you have some wrapping paper scraps after all the wrapping and unwrapping, why not make some pleated hearts out of them this year?

Basically you cut two fully-rounded rectangles out of two different patterned/coloured pieces of paper, fold both in half so there's a straight end on the fold and the two semi-circles are on top of eachother on the other end, then cut at least three equal-length lines straight up from the fold towards the rounded edge, but no deeper than to where the straight edge starts to turn into a semi circle.
Next you'll have to weave the 'flaps' you created through and around the ones of the opposite piece of paper.
As the linked instructions say:

To get yourself situated, place your two, folded pieces of paper at a right angle to form a heart shape. Then weave the paper, starting with the strips at the top, closest to the rounded side.
