( SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK )

SALLY is over the moon about the baby! She was in the waiting room fussing the whole time. She kept visitors fed and checked in on Melly/Gideon often. Elijah gets plenty of knitted hats, booties, and blankets. Think of things like this. He also gets this stuffed monkey. Amelia gets a spa kit and Gideon gets his favorite baked treat. There are also several meals charmed to stay warm/fresh for a few weeks.

ARTHUR is happy to get another family member so soon! He is extra excited to meet a nephew. The baby gets this bear (I think one of mine gave Alex the same one, but there are very few things with the word ‘nephew’ on it). The happy couple get crazy things from Smuggled with the words “mum” and “dad” on them.

DRACO is super excited for his godson. He took up residence on a sofa in the waiting room. Elijah gets this bear (see note above –finding stuffed animals with “godson” is difficult too). The stuffed animal is only one of MANY toys for the baby. Amelia and Gideon get his and her rocking chairs.

REMUS popped in and out regularly until Elijah was born. Baby Prewett! The baby gets books to grow into, clothes, and toys. Remus gives Gideon/Amelia a gift certificate to the various food places so they don’t need to worry about food for a while.

ALBUS was in and out until he got the chance to finally meet his cousin! The baby gets a pint sized art set that he can grow into and a few stuffed animals like this cutie.

ERNIE will not crowd the hospital, but he will visit once the family is home. He sent some cute bibs like this one

MAC will pop in once the family gets home. The baby gets adorable outfits and Amelia gets cute nail polish with a note that Mac will help her with her nails.

[I hope the links work! I am at work for a while longer and felt badly I hadn't posted yet!]

ALBUS would have liked to visit Ari on her birthday. Either way, she received this plant pot (the aqua one), seeds, and a photograph of Albus/Ari together.

REMUS also would have liked to visit! Either way, she received several books he thinks she might like along with these wind chimes. She also gets a tea and chocolate basket.

SALLY is yet another who would have liked to visit. She gave Arianna a tray of home-baked sweets and this knitted set.

MAC is the last one who wants to see her at some point around her birthday! Either way, Ari received this dress with a note they'd find use for it. She also got a gift certificate to the clothing shop.

DRACO sent a potting scoop with her name inscribed and this plaque.

DRACO waited throughout the whole labor. He found a comfy spot on the couch & visited Cressida as much as she wanted (or as little). He had these flowers delivered. She also gets this locket with space inside for Alex's photograph. Charlie gets a wallet with his name stitched inside and plenty of space for photographs. Alex gets this stuffed bear (although Draco has a stock of toys for the kid that he has been collecting for ages - clear a room!)

ARTHUR was there as much as possible, but he stepped out to spend time with Bill too. Alex gets this stuffed lion. He was there to give Charlie pep talks and brought food for everyone waiting!

ERNIE wants to see Cressida/Charlie/Alex, but will wait until they get home to avoid crowding them. However, he sent this flower/balloon display along with a baby basket (the blue one).

REMUS would have visited at the hospital if allowed! Charlie, Cress, and baby get these shirts. Cress gets these flowers. Charlie gets a tea basket with LOTS of caffeinated choices.

SALLY sent a spa basket for Cressida along with several meals charmed to stay fresh for several weeks. And don't forget the booties.

MAC sent these booties and these bibs.

MIKE sent a "gift certificate" that allows Charlie/Cressida to eat free for a month and this onesie.

ALBUS is OVER THE MOON about being a godfather! He was in and out of the hospital while he waited for the baby to be born. Alex got this bear. He also got a baby appropriate art set he can grow into and baby books. Cress, Charlie, and Alex got these.

ERNIE sends these flowers along with an invitation to dinner at a place of her choosing for whenever is convenient.

REMUS sends a book of evolved defense spells past Alice's current time, a sweets & tea basket, and an invitation to lunch.

SALLY sends this knitted scarf and a tray of Alice's favorite sweet treat.

MAC sends these boots (player's choice for color) and a gift certificate to the clothing shop (and a note she needs to go shopping with Mac).

DRACO sends these flowers and a card.

ALBUS sends a sketch of Neville, Hannah, and the kids (done from a photograph), which is placed in a hand-decorated frame.

ARTHUR sends several Smuggled items that he thinks are treasures.

( We didn't start the fire / it was always burning since the world's been turning )

MAC planned a special evening for Colin. She arranged for them to spend a night at the inn on 9/4 so she could kiss him right at midnight. She wore this that night. Instead of a fancy dinner, she ordered pizza, wings, and alcohol. She gave him this cute bear along with a new fancy camera. The strap has his name on it.

DRACO hung out with Colin the night of 9/5. He brought a birthday cake, films he knows Colin likes, carry-out from Mikes, and their staple (ice cream and alcohol, thank you). Dennis definitely was invited for movies/food if he wanted (but not privy to the ice cream/alcohol fun). If Colin wanted to go out after Dennis was in bed, Draco would have done whatever he wanted (even roller skating...). ETA: I left out the actual gift, oops. Draco gave Colin this and one of these, but pretend it is all on one chain. His name is engraved on it. He also got this pillow and sugar quills.

ERNIE sent a sweets basket along with film and a photo album. The note says Ernie wants to take Colin to lunch to celebrate at Colin's convenience.

MIKE sent a card. Colin eats free at Mike's for a week.

REMUS sent a tin of biscuits and a gift certificate to Smuggled.

ALBUS sent Colin a drawing of something he'd like (player's choice) and a book detailing all sorts of photography lessons.

[unless otherwise noted, the gifts are sent 9/5]

ALBUS drew/painted a picture of something that would mean something to Astoria (player choice) and also gave her these balloons. He'd try to stop by some point today for a hug.

ERNIE sends her a gift certificate to the clothing shop, several books, and these flowers. He invites her to dinner at her convenience.

ARTHUR sends some items from Smuggled. Think batteries, small toy robots, etc. He thinks they are awesome...

[all occurring on the 11th, but tomorrow looks like a long day so posting now]

ALBUS: He wants to do something with his mother in honor of the day. If not today, definitely another day. He is thinking a special mother/son flight and lunch/film (his treat). He also gives her a similar gift that he gave to Harry, but with different photographs of him, Jamie, and Lilu growing up. It is a photo album instead of a collage and done like a scrapbook so there are tons of little hand-done decorations that Ginny would like (hopefully).

ERNIE: Ernie would try to catch her in person if he could. He gives her a whistle with her name engraved on it and a gift certificate to the shops in the village.

MIKE: Mike sends a card along with some Quidditch related gear. She eats free for a week at Mike's Corner.

REMUS: Remus would have tried to give his in person too. Ginny gets books, sweets, and a paid weekend for two at the Posy Inn.

SALLY: Sally sends cupcakes and several scented candles.

MAC: Mac sends several outfits because she likes dressing people, but keeps in mind Ginny is not a general fan of heels!

DRACO: Draco sends these flowers and a bottle of wine.

ARTHUR: Arthur found an ipod! And sends it. Because. And plugs. He would have stopped by for hugs too.

ALBUS gives his present at the dinner Ginny mentioned (if that is still a thing with Barty showing). He gives his dad a hug and a huge collage of photographs of him, James, and Lilu growing up (courtesy the Genealogist Office). The collage is decorated with hand-made drawings of Harry's favorite things. It is pretty.

REMUS sends a card, a sweets basket, some Quidditch related merchandise, and a video game system with a note that some of the kids introuduced him to it and he thought it might appeal to Harry's inner Gryffindor. Also, an invitation to dinner at Harry's convenience.

ERNIE sends a card and a nice, practical leather wallet.

MIKE sends a card and an invitation to eat free for a week at Mike's Corner.

MAC sends a card and some outfits because she likes dressing people.

ARTHUR sends a small robot toy he found in Smuggled. He thinks it is the greatest gift. He invites him to do something with him and Molly at some point.

DRACO sends a card and a bottle of sparkling cider (I am pretty sure there was a public conversation about Harry not drinking much on a post where Draco commented to Ron about being sorry he sent Ron alcohol for HIS birthday after reading neither were too into it at the moment...if I made that up, it is alcohol because Draco sends a bottle of wine to people he wants to acknowledge, but doesn't feel too familiar with).

SALLY (because of her connection to Lily/James) sends several candles, cupcakes, and a card.

[Bee will get these when they are free]

MIKE: He gives his present in person since he is a Free Agent. He brings her several funny bumper stickers from Smuggled, some of her favorite horror films, and this teddy bear. He also may be getting a little serious despite his best efforts because he also got her this.

REMUS: Remus will give her several games and her own karaoke machine.

MAC: Mac will give her these cute slippers and these pajamas.

HOPE POTTER will receive the following gifts when everyone is free!

REMUS: Push car, play picnic set, and a stuffed lion.

SALLY: several cute dresses/skirts and this circle play center.

MAC: this outfit and this doll.

ALBUS: baby art center.

DRACO: doll house with doll.

ARTHUR: This made him sort of sad because he misses baby Bill, but he got Hope this from Smuggled (and has no clue what it is from).

ERNIE: this toy clock.
