Winter Veil.
I really never know what to give people for Winter Veil, and I'm pretty bad about knowing what I would want, either. My father even had to take me aside and scold me when I told Alinor she was my gift. Women apparently like ideas on what kind of gifts to give, telling them you don't want anything or you're happy as you are is Not Helpful.
I have a lot to learn, I guess.
But for her I made a ring, yes another one, but this one I had to get a little help from Garotar to make it. It's a gear ring, mini-gears in a silver band that turn when you twist the ring. I'd say it was a good idea, she still twists the ring unconciously in fascination.
For Garotar and Norrien, and Skruffy I used some steel reinforced thorium to create beer mugs. I didn't want to get too fancy with them, I mean they're meant to be used, not put on display. And I included a flask of beer I'd been storing downstairs. I hope Garotar likes it, I know Skruffy will. I don't think I will doubt Norrien enjoying it.
Ruckus does not need more beer, not after we had to find him the other day in Silvermoon and drag him away from one of the bars. So for him I found a good wooly scarf to wear even if he's running around as a bear. It's as brightly colored as he is. I purchased similar for Adura, Isulde and Aifhe, though theirs are much more muted colors with gloves to match.
My father has a new focusing monocle for his arcane studies. I noticed him squinting at a few pages and when I said something he was obviously flustered and told me never to get old. I used some ground up carnelian to make the lens a reddish hue, but when he looks through it the world will be crystal clear. I made a similiar one for my brother, though the lens is blue with ground zephyrite.
For Ilmarien, I sent a tin of cookies and a warm scarft as brightly colored as the one I gave Ruckus. And a few pouches of cocoa mixed with sugar to add to some hot water to hopefully help keep her warm in Northrend.
Lastly I sent a gift to Chesric, a golden pin decorated with red and black jewels in the form of the Blood Knight symbol. Something he can pin to his formal wear when we are not required to wear our armor. And a jeweled comb for his sister. I realize she has not yet been located (last I heard) but when she is found (and she /will/ be) she will have a gift waiting for her, too.
