How to you label Christmas present piles?

So this Christmas will be a first as a blended family with 6 children. Previously I only had to buy for my 2 and I used to wrap one pile of presents in blue wrapping paper for DS and one pile in pink wrapping paper for DD so it was clear who's presents where who's. I'm just wondering what people do to label all the different piles so the kids all know which one is theirs? Do you write a card out or use a personalised sack?

We use a variety of paper randomly across all gifts and stick a label on each one saying who it is to and who it is from. Then someone rummages under the tree and finds a gift for each person and we take turns opening them.

The mixed jumble of presents looks very exciting.

Sack with their name tag on plus each person's is wrapped in different paper.

Everyone has different paper

As a blended family we trialed a few different ways. In the end the easiest way was to use any paper - we do actually use 3 different types! But they aren't used for one child.
What we do is get labeled stickers "to X from Father Christmas" (all ours are from FC) so each child has a different design sticker. We get them from the sticker site as linked by a previous poster. Works fab as we can use up wrapping paper rather than being stuck with left over bits. And no one has a pile so those with less presents or smaller ones don't really notice.
Disclaimer: kids are 10, 8 and 6.
