You have the foresight and planning skills to buy Christmas presents early. You can take this to your dad in that context. Try to get his backing on compensation and boundaries first, then discuss this with step-mom together. Best of luck, and don't let this spoil your holidays!
When it comes to Christmas and it's time to open the presents, you should stand up and say "everyone, are probably wondering why you didn't get any presents from me today, well, you can all thank my stepmom for throwing out boxes 'of junk' in my room, that was holding all of our Christmas presents in it" that'll really make her never wanna throw something of us away unless she asks you again.
It's* you* your* why* you* you* that* your* that'll* yours* you*
Just doing my job haha.
What the hell is up with all these (step) parents getting rid of all their kids' shit lately? First the toys, then the box with money and weed, now Christmas presents. When are people going to learn to ASK before they touch other people's stuff?
Tell her what was in the boxes, followed by "I'm ashamed of you. " The take a picture of her expression.

There is a reply button you know.
Why, thank you 73. Haha
Maybe, it's because you did a sucky wrapping job..
Give the mom a rest. I assume you mostly have like junk in your room and your mom wanted it tidy like moms always want. and I am over 9000% sure she didn't know and it was an accident.
You're assuming it's full of junk, that's the problem. It could have been nothing but items the OP considers valuable. Keep in mind that just because something is junk to you or the OP's stepmom doesn't automatically make it junk for OP. One man's trash is another man's treasure and all that. Wanting the room tidy is fine. Throwing away OP's stuff isn't.
Sounds like my stepmom. She threw a major temper tantrum over the dishes being in the sink (the dishwasher was and IS running) and said "the whole kitchen is a disaster zone." Also "the whole house is a mess" whenever there is maybe one pile of stuff in the corner. Also... I walked into the kitchen, and the only thing that stands out to me are the unfinished dishes. Exaggeration galore... Urgh. FYL, OP.

What right is she going in your room, anyway? Every girl knows you never touch a 'box' without asking...
I have a theory: Your mother knew they were Christmas presents and threw them out anyway. Sorry to be the one to tell you, but your mother is in fact the Grinch.
