-Melissa got a super warm, cozy blanket and a bracelet of woven leather.
-Peter got a few copies of books they’d found (and lost) while in Atlanta that Ezra found again at book shops and Goodwill, and some of his favorite chocolate.
-Finally, they each got a neatly wrapped box with a gnome inside, as his final triumphant reveal.
-Bella got a weird little gnome on a motorcycle and a book about awesomely quirky collections.
-Scottie got something that looks like the unfortunate red thing here with a note that says, “Pretend he’s not terrifying or you’ll hurt his (probably evil) feelings.”
-And Jaina got a book on modern holidays because he knows she isn’t familiar with them, and a completely junked up motorcycle that he got for $20 and a creepy encounter on Craigslist.
-Everyone, including these people, got really adorable macaroni art that he ‘commissioned’ (with cookies) from his preschoolers.
-Okay, so in case you missed mentions of it already, Isla legit has been working on hand-made gifts since last Christmas. A lot of things featured in some of her projects this year, so not all of it will be a surprise, but still! What they got matches their personality, and definitely is a suitable color.
-Alex, obvs, has a lot of things, most of them silly and ridiculous. Clothing-wise, he got a pair of new, hand-made jeans which have little arrowheads hand-stitched into the back pockets. Everything else is very little – a lot of nerdy superhero-themed things, some quirky books, mustache magnets, bacon poetry, etc. Things she could pick up easily!
-Both Scotties and Boyd got super cool, homemade hoodies.
-Stiley got a cute little dress that has a pocket made of that SUPER CRAZY EXPENSIVE Marvel fabric that Isla always talks about.
-Eric, Aaron, and Lyle got jackets – Aaron and Eric’s are a little more casual, and Lyle’s is a lot fancier and more posh.
-Lydia got a blouse (and a note promising to make ALL OF THE MATERNITY CLOTHES EVER).
-Darcy got a mixed-media scarf made of that super expensive Marvel fabric and a soft wool, largely because the rest of that gift card from Halloween made it possible for her to get as much of it as she did.
-All of her brothers got scarves!
-Everyone else TW got a pair of super cozy hand-warmers.
- Okay, so this depends entirely on something you told me weeks ago, Whit, so if it isn't true anymore, lmk and I'll adjust!
- Isaac ended up with a lot more money than he’s ever had before at Christmas because of his job and Tali paying him so much for it. More than anything, though, he became increasingly aware as the month went on of Malia still believing in Santa, so he definitely made sure to put the money to good use and put a lot of little things under the tree. It’s mostly trinkets and shit, like what you’d get in a stocking as a kid, but it’s all signed Santa and he’s taken a lot of care to hide that away. Honestly, he figures she’s been through too much to ruin that right at Christmas and it can be a conversation for later. But yeah. Some are addressed to him (they’re socks and deodorant and stuff he needs anyway) and some to Scott, to keep up appearances. A lot of them are food items, and most of the rest are practical things. BUT YES. That’s what he did for Christmas!
-He drew pictures of him, Allison, and Scott and gave them to them, and had a lot of their photographs printed in a photo album. He gave Allison a necklace, pretty French lingerie, and a new thigh-holster for her knives. He gave Scott some new shirts, a super nice wallet, and a new pair of handcuffs.
He has a new house and a newborn, so gifts were light. He gave Aaron an old copy of a book from their childhood. Handwaving the title, but it’s a sentimental thing. He also had photos printed of Sara in all of her Christmas outfits and gave him those as well. And he’s using their baby girl to his advantage and definitely giving Allison a ring. Finally. :’)
Isaac has been documenting all of Allison’s progress in a journal, which is mostly full of his super praise for her, and he’s going to give her that for Christmas.
He got James a new briefcase, Lily got a new set of kitchen knives, and his Allison got a pair of arrow earrings and a map of the Americas and the opportunity to draw the path she wanted to take for a summer road trip.
-Everyone got sculptures made from lightning in sand or wood, which all vaguely resemble some characteristic of them but mostly are just cool and barely recognizable as what they’re meant to be. She’s not the artist. ;)
-Lydia and Allison also each got some of the lightning glass set into the handle of a dagger she had made.
-Isaac also got a really nice messenger bag for school with a new sketchpad and new versions of all of his art supplies.
-Emma got a matching motorcycle and a bangle-style bracelet, a set of earrings, and a necklace all carved from wood and magicked-up to be as sturdy as metal.
-Little Emma got a set of fancy collars and leashes for her new dogs and a carved bangle bracelet.
-Henry probably had his gifts tag-teamed, tbqh, so in addition to what Emma got him (and August signed to) he also got a helmet and a promise of motorcycle-driving lessons.
-He made Hook and Jefferson an end table that matches the bed frame Hook commissioned him to make however long ago that was.
-And Mary White got a carved necklace and earrings.
-Little Emma got a tablet that, while he didn’t outright steal, he also came by through dubious means. On it, he downloaded a hella ton of books about being a thief, dogs, tattoos, fire... basically, a weird amalgamation of things they’ve bonded over. He also gave her a bracelet with charms on it, which mostly are little things that she would recognize as inside jokes – a bunny, a whale, a feather, etc.
-Sheriff Emma got a watch that he most definitely stole (though he figures it was a Robin Hood-style robbery and will never admit to having stolen it).
-He gave Mary White a leather journal. He didn’t steal it!
-Jackie only bought for Petra, Scottie, the Dannys, and Adam.
-Petra got a bunch of records, a hipster coloring book, and booze.
-Scottie got a new, Jackie-approved outfit and some chocolate.
-Her Dannys got something clothing-related and glorious.
-Adam got his mega-chocolate Birthday cake and sex. Because Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday.
