Holiday Gifts 2010
Gifts from Giselle
To Damon Salvatore: A couple of hand-sewn dress shirts, a clove candle, and a card reading,
"Merry Christmas! I sell this candle at my store, and its aroma is really captivating! (ooc: which is her way of saying that Damon captivates her, so the candle and he obviously go together since they are both captivating) I hope you like it too!
Love,
Giselle"
To Kimberly Hart: A hand-sewn dress, even though she's unsure as to if Kim even wants to wear dresses anymore, along with a card reading,
"Have a very Merry Christmas, Kimberly!
Love,
Giselle"
Giselle also made note to put small bundles of nuts around the several trees that she remembered Pip frequenting. Even if she had been told that animals hide out during the winter, he may wake up and be hungry!
Gifts from Rosalie Hale
To Sonya Blade: A small box containing a simple sapphire pendant necklace. A card reading,
"Merry Christmas, Sonya. I hope that this gift isn't inappropriate. I was simply on a jewelry kick this month, and when I saw this necklace, I thought of you.
-Rosalie Hale"
To Renesmee Cullen: A small box contains a silver necklace with a pendant necklace adorned with garnet and sun citrine stones, as well as tiny diamonds. A card reading,
"I'm hoping this will bring out your eyes. I love you, sweetheart. Merry Christmas!
-Aunt Rose"
To Edward Cullen: A book of various musical compositions, both popular and obscure (ooc: which can be left completely up to the imagination, I left it wide open with no specifics on purpose), that she conveniently marked to show what she thought would be good selections for them to sing/play piano together to. A card accompanies that reads,
"Happy Holidays, Edward. We should put on a show sometime. I doubt you remember suggesting it when your previous self was in the village. Merry Christmas to you and Bella both.
Love,
Rosalie"
To Bella Swan: A brass cuff. A card is also attached that reads,
"Have a very Merry Christmas, Bella.
Love,
Rosalie"
Gifts from Alice in Wonderland
To Ceridwen: A bracelet (another link for a different view) that she made at school with the assistance of an art teacher (the bracelet may very well be less than perfect and not as well made as the one linked, as Alice is by no means a jewelry maker, but wanted to make something she thought was beautiful.) Also, a card that she made at school. [Alice will tag into the thread already up by Aleja.]
To Alice Hamilton, Leslie Burke, and Lyra Silvertongue a card reading,
"Have a Merry Christmas! Thank you for being my friend.
Love,
Alice"
Gifts from Minerva McGonagall
To Severus Snape: A small basket of treats and tea, and a card reading,
"Have a very Happy Christmas, Severus. I do hope you've been more social since my last holiday card.
Cheers,
Minerva"
To Cedric Diggory: A card reading,
"I've been thinking a lot about your idea of having a Muggle Studies course at the school. Perhaps someone will come along who can teach it. Best wishes and have a Happy Christmas, Cedric.
-Minerva McGonagall"
To all other magic school staff and students, and Draco Malfoy: A card reading,
"May your holidays be bright and cheerful.
-Professor Minerva McGonagall"
Gifts from Bellatrix Black
To Draco Malfoy: A fairly impersonal, but fancy gift basket full of fine treats and various delicacies common to Britian. Although the two do not speak, Draco is still family, and it's only right to buy a family member a Christmas present. A card is attached,
"To you, Draco.
Love, Bellatrix."
To Cedric Diggory: A card reading,
"Have a Happy Christmas and all the luck to you in the New Year.
All the best,
Bellatrix Black"
Really, she couldn't stop herself from delivering it to his room. He saved her life, and even a Black can't deny that that means you should be kind to someone.
Gifts from Sura
To Faramir: A box of chocolates, hand-picked by herself from the chocolatire (but with no meaning behind the choices other than her own preference and the popularity according to patrons) A small note is attached,
"Thank you for your kindness throughout my time spent in the village. I deeply appreciate it. Best wishes to you, Faramir.
Sura"
To Vianne Rocher: A candle with varying scents (peach, green apple, cinnamon.) A plain note is attached to the box it came in,
"Thank you for everything you've done for me. I cannot express my gratitude in text or speech. Thank you dearly, Vianne.
-Sura"
To Anouk Rocher: A white stuffed bear; because of all the stuffed toys Sura had seen in the village, it seemed like bears were the most common. [Sura will tag into the thread already put up by Aleja.]
Gifts from Emma Pillsbury
To Will Schuester: A bottle of wine with a silver ribbon tied around its neck. A card is attached reading,
"I want to have the courage to say this in person, but I just can't. I'd like to take you out for a date, Will, if you want to go. Let me know? I really hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Emma"
To Artie Abrams, Rachel Berry, Sam Evans, Quinn Fabray, Finn Hudson, Kurt Hummel, Santana Lopez, Brittany Pierce, Noah Puckerman: A small stocking of candy treats on their doorknob, along with a card reading,
"Happy Holidays!
Love,
Ms. Pillsbury"
Gifts from Shelby Corcoran
To Noah Puckerman: A plain note-card reading,
"Thank you for the gifts for Beth. She really does love that bunny, especially. The necklace is gorgeous and I'll be sure she cherishes it always.
-Shelby Corcoran"
There is no present, only out of her respect for his celebrating Hanukkah. He better believe she's going to get him something eventually though.
To Quinn Fabray: A blue scarf with a card,
"Have a Merry Christmas, Quinn. Let me know if you ever need anything at all.
-Shelby Corcoran"
The idea did pass through Shelby's mind to also get Rachel Berry a gift, but as they hadn't spoken since Shelby had returned to the village, she didn't want to be inappropriate. Also, she wasn't certain as to if Rachel would want a present for a holiday she likely didn't celebrate.
Gifts from Leonard McCoy
To Jim Kirk: A simple bouquet of white and red carnations (purely out of a joke, he has no idea what carnations symbolize, not that I think either of the men care about the symbols associated with flowers, haha), a small, yet perfect replica of the USS Enterprise (I simply couldn't find an image I liked, so assume it's something like this, but better and not super toy-like), and a card reading,
"Happy Holidays, Jim. It never ceases to amaze me what sort of things this village can dream up. I found the replica in one of the stores. I hope you enjoy it.
-Bones"
To Spock: A small bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream with a white note-card attached reading,
"I'm obliged to wish you happy holidays, Spock. I doubt you're much of a drinker, and this may seem more an appropriate gift coming from Jim, but mix some in with coffee if you ever partake of it. I promise, it's quite good.
-Dr. Leonard McCoy"
Gifts from Jaina Proudmoore
To Arthas Menethil: A cloak that she embroidered with enchantments to increase his stamina during battle, and a fresh batch of cookies (that he likely very well knew about seeing as they live together, but it's still part of her present for him.) Also, a new grooming brush for Invincible.
Gifts from Stefan Salvatore
To Damon Salvatore: A bottle of his favorite liquor.
To Elena Gilbert: All wrapped individually: a new, leather-bound journal, a snow globe, and a small trinket box with an opal necklace inside. Also included is a card reading,
"I'm glad I'm here with you. Merry Christmas. I love you.
-Stefan"
To Bonnie McCullough: A candle, along with a simple note saying,
"No bad jokes intended with this, Bonnie. I saw the candle and thought of you. Enjoy your holiday.
-Stefan"
[My apologies on the overload of jewelry this year. I got really distracted by the shinies and couldn't help it. Actual gift giving can be played out in this thread, if you'd like. Reactions are also fine!]
