The gift-giving season is upon us. Whether you're organizing a white-elephant gift exchange, or leaving presents under the Christmas tree, presentation is everything. There's a certain amount of joy in giving a thoughtful and well-wrapped gift.
For this week's Mashable Photo Challenge, show us how you're packaging presents this holiday season. Do you repurpose common materials to create eye-catching DIY gift bags? Snap a shot of your favorite treat box, the perfect bow, most-festive wrapping paper and a hand-painted mason jar for homemade gifts.
Try to mix and match different colors and textures of wrapping paper and ribbon to create a unique package you won't be able to find in stores. Or give your presents a minimalist or vintage feel using simple containers and reusable baskets.
Follow the directions, below, to submit your photos by Tuesday, Dec. 17, at 5 p.m. ET. We'll feature some of our favorite ones on Mashable, as well as on our Facebook album, Pinterest board and Google+ page.
