I got a couple of tall wine bottle boxes, which are always fun to decorate. I thought this one was the more successful of the two, not only because I wasn't trying to extend the height of the box another 30mm or so, but also because I completely wrapped it, so there wasn't any commercial text to hide.

wrapping paper, fabric and plastic ribbon, pipe cleaner, plastic beads, xmas accents (e.g. wooden snowflake, plastic bird), yellow feather. 2018 100mm canon macro lens on a 60D

I liked the way the gift came out, and particularly enjoy the jaunty feather. However, as with the other two items shot in this series, the lens I used has some serious weaknesses for shooting at a distance, so the focus is pretty soft.
