Christmas gifts 1892!
#1
What did your characters give other characters for Christmas this year!

Murdock:
Got Mirren Greyback - Quidditch equipment, a book and probably something gender appropriate like a dress or something of that sort.

Her got Merida something fairly generic like avery nice bag for her medical stuff.

Out of obligation and because he was there the night the gifts were exchanged he got @'Timleon Maxime' a bottle of whiskey

Merida:
Got Mirren Greyback a book on something like 'Most violent Quidditch brawls' or something that she asked for that her father wouldn't get her but a cool aunt would

-----

Maddie:
Cane Backus - Some books, and a magical device to help you retain the knowledge of the books, like a recall device.


------

Benevolence:

Roman Crouch - a silver tie pin and boutonaire pin - something masculine but fancy.

Aldous Crouch/@'helena Crouch' - Reuben Crouch/Melody Crouch - received seasonally appropriate gifts of fire whiskey, seasonal forals. An additional small gift for baby crouch, in the form of a cute baby doll.

------
Bernard Prewett

Was super lazy and just sent every man with the surname Prewett a bottle of Firewhiskey
Everywoman got confections of some sort, they would be pretty generic unless his valet and or house keeper remembers the persons preferences.

------
Cad

Trystan Selwyn - a book on concealment magic that he has spent months trying to source
Ambrosia Selwyn - a magic peacock hair pin

Literally no one Selwyns got gifts from him, his name was probably on cards 'from the family'

------
Christabel

Her muse is super grumpy that this is pointless now but.....
Victor Daphnel - a arithmatic puzzle box, it contains some magical 'dares' for the two of them to get up to, but its moot now - she might throw it at him at some point.

Beatrice Daphnel - a fine leather notebook, a set of beautiful quills and privacy ink, for journelling.

Porphyria Dempsey - a black note book that feels like raven feathers, endless pages, and automatically indexed at the front, you touch the index and it flips to the page.

Lowri Dempsey - a book of gaelic poetry

Endymion Dempsey - gloves that are magically resistant. Her recent research into curse-breaking has freaked her out about how dangerous his job is.

Lycoris Dempsey - paints for creating magical paintings

Ozy is getting a note book designed specifically for technical drawings and invention depictions.

-------
Emma

@'Juliana Binns' - Got a book, the cover of which says something like 'a guide to being a good bride' but is actually a book on surviving inlaws - because that's how Emma's humour is vibing these days.

Zachariah Binns - A book seems redundant, but she definetly found a weird book for him, a cat based book mark, some cat treats for the shop kittys

I already mentioned in Discord but Ford got Tycho a second-hand collection of Porphyria Dempsey's "wren year" poetry and wrote little notes/annotations throughout and stuck them in the pages. He will be mortified if and when he ever meets Porphyria Dempsey.

He got appropriate (but very modest) gifts for everyone in his family, and also petty crime is beginning to look more and more appealing because he can't afford this. No gifts for friends unless he and Cash have made up by then.

--

Oz got Sina rubies. Probably a hairclip with matching earrings. He might openly criticize the craftmanship on Christmas morning to make it look like he didn't have a hand in picking them out and just tasked a servant with it.

He would have gotten Sophia a present, tbd, and begrudgingly also sent two bars of chocolate for her children.

Writing-themed accessories (quill cases, manuscript page markers, various colors of ink, etc) for most of his family. A travel memoir for Endymion.

--

Alfred left Zelda a necklace in his bedside table before he left but otherwise put off his Christmas shopping until he went abroad, intending to give people combo christmas/"I'm back, here's a souvenir" gifts in the spring.

--

Jules bought pastries for basically everyone in the Ministry who has ever had a conversation with her and distributed them like a little holiday fairy.

She entirely fretted over what to buy her fiancee and eventually settled on a house-coat.

She gave Kieran an advance copy of her latest article to give her feedback on (lol) but also a warm scarf and a few charcoal pencils.

She got the Minister a desk organizer to better sort his incoming mail and just installed it one day without asking him first.

--

Victor bought Christabel a pearl necklace/earring/pin set, a new dress and a cloak, because they're newlyweds and he's spoiling her.

He got some appropriate gifts for family, probably books all around.

He sent Leo tickets to an upcoming opera or ballet or something where they could have a private box and make out during the show. He will, unfortunately, not be following through on those plans.

Dionisia got Elliott a toy broomstick and a drawing pad and children's sketching quills since those are his two hyperfixations. Zelda received a stacked of signed books in her favorite genre and the magical equivalent of a baby monitor. The baby got a sailboat-themed crib mobile. Ari got a new cologne and a scrapbook full of artwork Elliott made for him over the previous few months.

Raphael got his sisters all custom perfumes based off their individual personalities (with his mother's help LOL). He attempted to write Rowan a simple "happy Christmas" letter, but he worried it would read as too affectionate. So instead he wrote a very long-winded, vaguely antagonistic letter about how she's lucky to have him while also implying that he does, in fact, care about her.

Flora is at Hogwarts for the holidays but sent Abraxas Crabbe, Sirius Black, and all her family and cousins hand-made, personalized Christmas cards with varying degrees of effort.

Charity drew portraits of all of her family members and signed it. Caroline's is slightly crooked.

Ginevra Blackwood

Olixander Blackwood - some quidditch stuff, possible something fun and experimental from her fathers Quidditch inventing.

Juniper Edevane - got a pretty gold reticule mirror.


------

Honoria Rookwood
Louisa Weasley - got a book on famous female quidditch players and a box of chocolate frogs. Also a new blue quill, because Honoria wants her in the club with her and Odessa Pettigrew.

-----

Isis
Thomas Harvey - bought a bottle of nice rum for him - but decided very last minute not to give it to him, but might have invited him to drink it with him.

----
Longwei

Ida Chang - got a collection of books on chinese transfiguration magic, and Long probably consulted with Poppy and/or suki to get her something feminine she would like.

------

Meserimus
Cassian Valenduris - got some whiskey - and strong hints that he should get married.
