Venkman is slow to warm up to people and even slower to actually trust people. He also just outright hates Christmas. As a result, despite being here for a full year now, he's mostly restricting gifts to the other Ghostbusters. With one exception.
First, let's get the obvious out of the way-
Winston: x1 Wide Lens x1 Scope Lens x1 Zoom Lens x1 Hardcover copy of one of Agatha Cradily's best-selling mystery novels. x1 Collection of books specifically on Mudsdale training. The titles are like "How to Think Like a Mudsdale", "Mudsdale for Dummies", and "There are No Problem Mudsdale, Only Problem Trainers"...
It's possible he's trying to hint at something.
Ray: x1 Thick Club x1 Quick Powder x1 Metal Powder x1 Box set of horror movies starring Jellicent Price. x1 Box set of horror B-movies ranging from Murderous Mimes from Outer Space to Attack of the Killer Cherubi.
Venkman is fully aware of where Ray's priorities lie.
Egon: x1 pack of Pewter Crunchies x1 pack of Rage Candy Bars x1 pack of Lava Cookies x1 pack of Old Gateaux x1 pack of Shalour Sables x1 pack of Sweet Hearts x1 pack of Twinkays x1 Rocky Helmet
Venkman is fully aware of where Egon's priorities lie.
Ford: Frankly, Venkman hasn't talked to Ford much; but he figures it's in his best interests to make sure that even if Egon insists on burning bridges between him and Ford, that Venkman and the other Ghostbusters remain on his good side- or at least, his neutral side.
That and Venkman just kinda feels bad about the whole thing.
Ford is receiving two gifts, both on the first night of Hanukkah. The first is a hardcover field guide specifically focused on Dark, Psychic, and Ghost-type Pokemon- identifying their appearances, locations, behaviors, etc, all accompanied with rather beautiful illustrations. The book is an older edition, and a bit outdated compared to the Pokedex, but goes into further details about specifics that the Pokedex never mentions: for example, the different behaviors of Sprout Tower's wild Gastly compared to Gastly from Lavender Town. (The Sprout Tower Gastly are respectful of the monks and tend to be far more disciplined, whereas Gastly raised in Lavender Town tend to be more volatile and emotional.) Accompanying this is a note that says that Venkman hopes Ford doesn't already have this copy.
The other gift is... A rock? A geode, to be specific. It's accompanied by two more notes, one of which is decidedly not written by Venkman, given the childish drawings on the paper. The writer did sign her name in big, shaky, block letters- "SIGOURNEY", Venkman's Beheeyem and Roswell's daughter. The majority of the note is made up of odd patterned dots- possibly meant to call to mind the flashing patterns of a Beheeyem's hand lights. It's completely impossible to decipher for a human, no matter how much Ford may try.
The second note is written by Venkman, and basically explains that Sigourney found out he was sending Ford a gift and pestered him into letting her send something to him and her mother. She picked out the rock herself at a gift shop. Sigourney's note goes into further detail about this, and also goes on a few rambling tangents about her trainer(s), before wishing her mother well.
