Basically, it's a ball of fabric strips, wound up the way you'd make a ball of yarn. At the center, you put a tiny gift, then wrap the strips around to cover it. As you keep winding, you can tuck in some more small surprises and cover each one with the fabric. It's a lovely ornament when finished -- cluster a few in a pretty basket, or fill a large glass vase -- and when it comes time to unwrap the gifts, the recipient gets to unwrap and unwrap and unwrap, finding fun treasures along the way!
