Default Christmas present bead

Anyone have any ideas or tips on making a bead that looks like a Christmas present? I have an order for some bracelets and they want a Christmas present on each bead and mine are looking incredibly lame!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Patti, A sweet little box with a ribbon and a bow. The boxes can be different shapes just like mini pressy's under the tree. Your close by me, come on over and play. It would be a pleasure to torch with you!

Thanks, Loco. That's what I have been doing, but it looks really dumb!
Yeah, I would love to come over sometime!

Wonder if it looks better with a flat ribbon? Gotta try that myself.
