Start with the the larger items that will fill in the center - here we did the cranberry cake and the cupcakes around the sides since those will take the most space on the board or in the box. Arrange them around the board, in an aesthetically pleasing way.
Then add the cookies of different types, stacking them around the other items to give height and visual interest. You can also fan out the cookies individually if desired.
Fill in the open spaces with candies, marshmallows and any other goodies you have chosen to add.
Either sprinkle the small candies in any remaining open spaces or place them in a small bowl or two if you have a bit more space.
Notes
Note - total time is for arranging the board or gift box with all ready-made purchased ingredients. This does not include the time it will take to make any of these ingredients homemade before adding them. Due to the countless variables in the ingredient list - nutrition has not be calculated.
