IC Gift Giving Meme
GIFT GIVING
Christmas is coming, and with it comes present giving! Paradisa is no different, with many friends and family ready to trade tokens of appreciation. Here you can plan and keep track of your character's gift giving (and receiving) this holiday season in three easy steps!
ONE - Comment with your characters. If you'd like, you can leave a list of suggestions for what they might like. It’s not required, but it helps people brainstorm gift ideas. Also if your character is giving out gifts in bulk (like snacks for everyone), this is where you can mention it.
TWO - Reply to others' comments with what your characters are getting theirs. Feel free to ask for ideas if you haven't decided on a gift yet.
THREE - NO ONE IS LATE IN THIS MEME. Seriously. Even if it is the day before (or days after) Christmas, you can still post or reply! Also, please try to check all of the pages in case someone tags later. You wouldn't want to miss someone!
((Meme originally taken from ye olde Yuuyuupandaland back in the days of LJ. You can find last year's post here for inspiration!))
Meowkitty's Girls
Dair likes books, technology (especially otherworldly tech), magical items, and geek goods. In other words, she's a big fan of sci-fi (see Star Wars) and comic books. She has been training in archery for over a year now, so supplies for that would be good. Dairine also tends to go on the world plot expeditions so she would really like a blue crystal.
I should probably send her looking for those again.She also has a collection of stuffed animals, but unless your character has been in her room, they probably don't know that. She will also likely feign disinterest in said stuffed animal until she's alone. And of course, food is always welcome.
Sugar |
Sugar likes sweets, food, snow, shiny things, and fun toys! Just think of what a small, fairy-sized child would like, and you are probably good! Christmas is a new experience for her, so really anything would be appreciated.
Wrong account-
I'll just need to think about it.
Dairine: Duke may make a variation of his gift, annnd... its a bowl that keeps things cool. To prevent icecream melting (or melting too much-)
Re: Meowkitty's Girls
Conan will give Sugar a box of puzzles.

Re: Meowkitty's Girls
For Christmas, Katniss has hand-made you your own bow, with your name carefully carved on the handle. She has also made you a quiver, filled with arrows.
no subject
Galadriel will be giving Dair an Elven cloak, woven by her own hands, with all the magical benefits included. So think of the cloaks that the Fellowship received. Yep.
no subject
Simon has his sister, so he's content with not receiving gifts (but will be giving some out himself). However, he does like new clothing (he dresses very fancily- dress shirts/pants/shoes and a vest, sometimes with a jacket and tie).
Jennifer Keller
Jennifer's dearest wish would be a full staff for both clinics, but since she knows that's not possible, she'll settle for things she can spoil herself with- bubble bath, fancy lotions, baked goods/candy and stuff. She'd also appreciate small weapons she can easily conceal on her person or carry in her med kit. Toys and treats for Blue (her sheepdog) and Marie (her Blissey) would be appreciated, too.
Richard Castle
Castle is a fanboy and an author- so books, comic books, any fandom stuff would be much appreciated by him. He also loves alcohol of any sort (he has an appreciation for fancy aged stuff especially).
no subject
A box of fancy foods. A large box. He's feeling a little guilty about lying by omission on his real reasons for not telling her about the temp cure.
From Conan to Castle:
A box set of his father's mystery series, The Night Baron .

Conan likes mysteries. Basically any kind of mystery novel or mystery related item will be appreciated. He also likes soccer. He would prefer useful tools and advanced novels over kiddie detective kits and picture books, but since when did anyone ever listen to him? Feel free to give him stuff for a seven year old.
Danny Fenton |
Danny likes a lot of typical teenage stuff. Music, video games, bad monster movies.... He's also a HUGE outer space and NASA fan.
Will Stanton |
Will likes books. His favorite subjects are history, anthropology and folklore. He likes plants too, and is rather fond of reading medieval herbals. Will is also very fond of music. And if all else fauks, he is still a thirteen year old boy. He would love to get a bike or other typical gifts for that age.
no subject
Jennifer knows better than to get Conan a kiddie detective kit, so he gets a multitool and this very fancy flashlight.

Unless it's like poop in a box but why would you.
Things she would like include any kinds of food, tea, or weapons of any kind. She can't read but if cards are included she'll just make Steph help her out. Seriously though, she'll be super excited for anything.
Carley - it's hinted a bit that Carley has kind of expensive tastes, what with her wanting a bathroom with heated floors and expensive red wines, but honestly she's just glad to not be dead so what she gets for Christmas isn't that important. GET CLEMENTINE AND BEN STUFF INSTEAD!!!
no subject
Ben will totally get Carley a nice pair of earings or a necklace. He's probably been working in the town to earn money to get them for her. HE LOVES YOU NOT!MOM.

Maladict Celebrates Hogswatch, not Christmas. This will be on the 1st of January, which is as close as she can get to a non-existent month here. She will not appreciate any gifts given to her on Christmas. Seriously, Hogswatch is a big deal. But if anyone wants to give her something for Hogswatch, she loves coffee things. ALL THE COFFEE THINGS.
The Once-ler Anything to help him in his trade, tools, pencils, machinery parts, etc. He's also renovating a house in town for himself so stuff for the house would be appreciated too!
Ben Just regular teenager stuff, probably. He'll be awkward about accepting it.
no subject
From Van to Once-ler - a new grooming set to use on his donkey (not quite what he asked for, but it's a very Van gift, lol)

Finery, weapons and booze will get you far.
TESS /
Honestly, the novelty of gift-giving is probably enough to charm her.
no subject
also he probably has a real present too. it's probably maybe the whole acqua di parma shaving collection, so that he'll groom his great facial hair instead of just shaving it all off or letting it get dumb looking.

He's also fond of stupid old weapons (nunchuks yeah) and basically anything you could associate with Bruce Lee. And food. He likes steak.

EFFY & LUCREZIA
LUCREZIA loves pretty things, the more flamboyant the better. Think skirts made of gold, a veil made only of pearls, wine with crushed diamonds in it, that kind. She also loves literature and music, tragedy and romance for books or something for dancing for music. She's also interested in modern things though she might not use them the way they're intended. On the flip side, she also secretly likes weapons, darker things like revenge and even a boon to murder anyone who slights her. You know, normal Christmas cheer.
She'd also be amused by sexy things ifyouknowwhatimean especially modern onesno subject

- Food always goes over well, and any book that your character wants to give him will need to be in braille, but he will also be super happy about it. (by super happy, I mean he will flounder in expressing thanks, and probably send them cookies.)
Sion
- Practical things! Nothing too shiny or fancy, he really doesn't like fuss made over him. (he will accept Stepford-y Dad gifts too-)

Connor will pretty much accept any gifts extremely graciously unless they're very obviously insulting. Easiest person to shop for or hardest person to shop for? You decide.

Loves movies, music, books, gossip magazines, leather jackets, boots, studded things, alcohol, menthols, and she's been SUPER into cooking lately so recipes would be great too. She isn't used to having family or friends and last Christmas she was roasting in the pit, so anything remotely nice will be very much appreciated and she will be super nonchalant but extremely touched. She will also be giving surprisingly heartfelt gifts to all of her CR on this meme ♥
ARCHER
Never really got to have an awesome Christmas or any nice family experiences as a kid and he just buys whatever he wants as an adult, clearly to compensate for this. He really really really likes animals, alcohol, Burt Reynolds (although in Paradisa he doesn't remember pop culture, but he'd still LOVE anything to do with him like he was experiencing it for the first time), Spy gadgets, black turtlenecks, spa treatments, and kinky sex. He won't be giving any gifts outside of his Stepford family because he's a dick BUT he will be super touched by anyone actually thinking of him.

Though she can give them easily, Sheena isn't used to getting gifts and will be awkward in accepting them. And with that, she likes pretty things--especially flowers--and since she does sumi-e drawings, art supplies would be nice. As well as anything that reminds her of Mizuho--like something Japanese-influenced.
Although, she'd like anything anyone got her!

... once back in Para, he'll give her cookies. its what he probably would have gotten her this year too-

Conan will give Five a box of oranges. It might be a slight apology for how hes been acting recently. Or it might not. Since of course Conan didn't bother to explain anything.

Cloud: Weaponry, motorcycle parts,
hair gel, a pet (no really, he needs a pet) and...pretty much anything else? He'll be stunned to have gifts, so expect gratitude from the little solider boy.Beth's Ladies
Galadriel does not actually celebrate Christmas herself, but has chosen to embrace the gift giving side of it. So while she may be giving stuff out, she certainly doesn't expect to receive anything. She will be touched by any sort of gift. That said, books, music, and shiny pretty things are always good.
Nita Callahan |
Neets is probably too new to be getting anything from anyone but her sister. But she's your basic nerdy teenage girl; she'd love books (especially science related ones), music (canonly, she's a fan of Journey), she'd probably like cute clothes and jewelry more than she'd admit, things from other worlds are the coolest things ever, etc.
Beth's Ladies
Galadriel will get a record/music player mix with wooden inlays of leaves, somewhat akin to the Porter Music Boxes in style, as well as one Celtic music and one Star Wars* soundtrack record. ;)
Re: Beth's Ladies
(no subject)
you say no one is late but i think i am late
HOWEVER. When you get right down to it, really, why not?
He is unlikely to give any gifts himself because lol wtf is this. If your character for some bizarre reason feels compelled to give him a gift, go for it, he'll be confused unless some form of explanation accompanies it. Good gifts would actually tbh be things like flowers if possible
or shinies, particularly white gems. I dunno, man, the entire thing will catch him fairly off-guard. Feel free to respond here if your character would and you wanna brainstorm or somethin.no subject
Rebecca's crew (also the latest)
Being a total clothes-horse, Felix can always be pleased by any clothes or accessories. His style is a bit 18th century, but a good rule of thumb is bright colors and rich fabrics and anything that resembles a suit in construction. He also likes books - non-fiction academic type books are usually best, though he's developed a soft spot for plays. Booze is always an option (bourbon and wine are preferred).
Grencia Mars Elijah Guo Eckener |
He's pretty easy. Obviously music and booze are winners, but he'll appreciate anything.
Wade Welles |
I'm not sure anybody knows her well enough now to guess what she likes but Wade enjoys romantic literature and poetry. She's of course not above pretty clothes (flowered dresses, jeans, leather jackets, just think late 90's and you're good). Food doesn't hurt either. Protip, though: she's a vegetarian. But again, she'd appreciate anything.

Still doesn't get this Christmas thing, but all her friends that are left are getting something from her.
Lavernius Tucker
Man, Christmas is awesome. If you know him, you're getting something from him. He expects loot in return though.

From Jennifer, Katniss is going to get two well-stocked medical kits- one she can keep in her cabin, and a smaller first aid kit she can take with her when she's out hunting or exploring.
