Presents are grab bags that have a 7.69*1/13 (7.69%) chance to be dropped by any enemy (excluding Statue spawned ones) during the Christmas holiday season ( December 15 – December 31 / December 1 – January 15). They are opened by pressing the ⚷ Interact button on them in the player's inventory, similar to other grab bags. Presents can be opened anytime, even outside the Christmas season.

Presents always appear as blue in the player's inventory. Once placed, the present will appear as a random color.

On the Nintendo 3DS version, the old Blue, Green, and Yellow Presents still exist but they cannot be placed. Initially, Presents dropped from Present Mimics could be placed, although they disappeared after placement. They no longer drop, but have not yet been removed from 3DS. For more information, see Present (furniture).

Notes

• Any enemy that has more than 1 max health, deals more than 0 damage, and drops coins has a chance to drop a Present. Therefore, enemies spawned by statues, enemies from the Old One's Army and Lunar Events, and the Slimer with wings will never drop Presents.
• Presents can be placed down as furniture. The color of the Present changes each time it is placed down.
• If a vanity set is dropped, all three parts will drop. The individual pieces never drop alone.
• Reaching wave 15 / 20 of the Frost Moon will unlock one in-game day and night of the Christmas event, regardless of the date. After this in-game day and night ends, a message pops up in the bottom left saying, "The spirit of Christmas fades...". This will allow presents to be dropped during the event at any time of the year.

Tips

• Presents can easily be farmed during events that spawn many enemies, like the Solar Eclipse.
• Early on in the game, another easy way to farm for presents is to defeat the Eater of Worlds multiple times.

Trivia

• After the 1.1.1 Christmas update, nearly any item could erroneously drop from presents. This glitch has since been fixed.
• One of the variations of a placed Present has the same colors as the old Green Present item.
