Post to get involved. Tag each other with presents - serious or silly, sweet or... well, I leave it up to your imagination. If you want your gift to be anonymous, note that at the top of your tag.
Standard rules - Keep it polite and take anything adult somewhere private.
After everything? I have to get you something... [He grins a little sheepishly as he offers the box, within is a collection of leaf shaped stencils, and a couple of books he found with interesting ideas for redecorating. As well, a plate of slightly uneven, wobbly icebox pinwheel cookies. Not exactly a beginners cookie, but he rarely gives himself something easy to start with.]
Though, I admit, you're harder to shop for than I thought...
Oh Tim! [Jack sets them aside to offer Tim a hug.] They're wonderful! These will be so very helpful. And the cookies look marvellous. Thank you so much.
I have a little something for you too. [He passes Tim a small package with a book titled "An Insiders Guide to London" and a membership to the National Trust.] So you can go see everything you want for free.
Something tonight, before we all go and open stuff tomorrow. [She presses a kiss to his forehead, presenting him with a large, but rather light box wrapped in metallic green paper, with a star print, and gold ribbon. Inside are both the Red and Arctic full sized Squishable Fox plushies.]
[He sits down to unwrap the box carefully. His face lights up when he lifts out the Squishable.] Oh Max! they're wonderful! [He takes them out and strokes their soft fur and fuzzy ears.] Oh thank you. [He puts them down to hug her tightly.]
[Max grins happily at his excitement...and for the fact that she has a cam recording his reaction. <3 Priceless! She laughs, holding him tight.] I thought you'd like those! You've got tons of gifts for tomorrow, one very special one from your dad and I, but I figured these two would be good to sleep with tonight. Especially with all the anticipation.
[Scowling.] No. Unca Dick still keeps tryin' t' get me t' wear th' neon green one he got.
Here. [She holds out a very carefully wrapped present in shiny red paper and silver ribbons. It's no where near Alfred's skill, but it was quite obviously carefully done by tiny hands.] Kept this one last. [Inside is a lovely handmade black and white double frame made of cut drift wood, outlined in the prettiest, tiny shells she could find. The two pictures within are one of the Bat fam before, with Bruce alive, and the opposite are one of her and Timmy. A complete family.]
Keep one step ahead of him and he'll give up and go after Damian instead.
Oh Maxie! [He sits down, cradling the frame in his lap.] Max it's perfect. [He picks her up and hugs her so tight.]
Alfred's got a ton of presents under the tree for you from all of us but this one's just from me. [Inside the little tin he hands her are plane tickets and a booking to go shark-diving in Australia.]
[Max waits anxiously, though she tries to play it cool, for Jay's reaction and beams such happiness when he reacts! She snuggles into the hug and presses a kiss to his cheek.] Complete family. Granpa Alfred helped me find th' right picture with Grandad Bruce innit an' Unca' Tim took th' one 'f me an' Timmy. An' Pearl distracted Unca' Dick so it wouldn' be wrapped as bad as th' sweaters look.
Huh? [She opens the tin and gives an audible gasp, surprise colouring every bit of her.] Really? We can go do it? Swim w' th' sharks!?
My sweet sun prince. Why would I not when your smile is such a gift. [He kisses Jon's cheek, nibbling softly on his ear as he presses a package into Jon's hands. Inside is a hand-woven blanket depicting shining sun, embroidered in tones of golden flames.] To warm you when I am not by your side.
[He smiles fondly and laughs a little for the soft kisses and nibbles as he carefully opens the package and unfolds the blanket to look at it. He gasps, awestruck as he looks it over.] Oh, oh Flame! This is so beautiful.

So rip off the wrapping and see that you’ve got.

[His smile grows to a grin as he looks the book over, and the membership.] Thank you. Oh, I will put these to very good use. Thank you so much, Jack.
