CHRISTMAS GIFT MEME
'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Here's a meme for organizing character gift lists! Is your character giving presents to their CR? Then come post a list of what they're giving out in here, all in one handy location! Because everybody loves some fictional gifting.
IT'S TIIIIME
Ash's Presents!
JINX is getting a long sleeve shirt with an Alolan Ninetales, a Weavile and a Frolass in monocolours (the Ninetales is in blue, Frolass in blue and Weavile in navy) posing on it. Printed underneath is the phrase 'ICE COLD'
GAIGE gets a Magnet, which powers up electric type moves when given to a Pokemon! (He makes sure to mention this or she'll just use it as a magnet probably)
ARMIN gets a book titled The Waters of Hoenn (subtitled The science and mythology of Hoenn's Sea). It includes a huge section on full water diving with Pokemon! Also included is a gift for PIPPA THE PIPLUP from Robin, Ash's Fletchinder! It's a NeverMeltIce to remind her of home.
JEAN gets a black/yellow shirt that features an Electrode on with the warning 'DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE' printed on it. Included is a Carbos for BLITZ THE ELECTRODE, sent by Ceannfort. Take your vitamins lad!
BERT is getting a t-shirt as well, this time referencing the classic adventure film JURASSIC ZONE, with a Tyrantrum skeleton as the mascot. He's also getting a gift from T-Pain! A Float Stone, which halves the weight of whoever holds it.
MAURICE gets a video all about Rhyhorn Racing, which is pretty popular in the region of Kalos!
PROMPTO gets a photo album! It has a very cute Venonat on the front OuO
IGNIS is getting a recipe book called Kalos Delicacies. The recipes are suitable for humans and Pokemon! Interestingly there's a package for CAELUM THE ABSOL too; it's a bag full of sweet berries and poffins. It's got a lot of Pichu handprints pressed all over the package...safe to say, it's from An Toirneach the Pichu!
NOCTIS gets...A LOT OF STUFF, cos someone gave Ash a bunch of stuff for his birthday. SO, first is a book on Magikarp Jump Tournaments! His second gift is a necklace; the pendent is a silver Espeon curled inside a ring with a small red gem set in it's forehead. The ring has celtic knots embossed over it. (It's inspired by this!) The final gift is a special Mix Tape*!
And of course, there's Noctis' Pokemon. BEAN THE SNORLAX gets a Lax Essence and a bouquet of flowers from Danny. THE TERRIBLE TRIO get an item to share, a Muscle Band! An Tintreach recommends they have a battle royal once a month to see who gets to wear it, or to take it in turns so EVERYONE gets a go! Last is a gift for ANA THE WEAVILE, a Heart Scale. It doesn't have a function but it's from Diarmuid, along with a note of course...

Armin is getting a model kit for a rather large but very impressive ferris wheel that can be wired up to really work!!! He also gets very thick socks, mittens, a hat, and a scarf. Please warm your coconut head.
Rakka is getting spoiled to hell, she's getting several matching and not matching clothes along with a LARGE Lapras plush to cuddle on.
Lust is getting this outfit along with chocolate covered strawberries (naturally) and a note apologizing if it's not her style, "I've never bought clothes for a peer before" (aka how do I shop for an older woman and NOT buy her a kimono.)
Shiro dad holy fuck, it comes with a card saying "You better Bayleef I'm wishing you a happy Christmas!"
And though it's not black. A sweater she thinks he'd like anyway.
Elsa and Anna get a totally benign care package filled with blankets and sweaters and plenty of chocolate for them and treats for their Pokemon.
Later they will get a mysterious package simply from "A friend" that contains these rings.
CR that I forgot about, don't worry, Botan didn't forget you: so many treats and if you want me to think of a custom gift she would have given them (and I don't have you on plurk for some reason) please hit me up here.
I couldn't wait any longer I am WEAK
THIDA will receive a wrapped box, inside of which is a Pokéball, another smaller wrapped package, and a note. The Pokéball contains a level one shiny Trubbish (look, he had to hatch it to be sure it was shiny, even if Botan's Ditto is a star performer). The smaller package is a Grateful Ghost Types CD. He didn't want to presume to buy a fellow artist supplies when painting isn't his wheelhouse, but she probably likes music, right?
The note says: Thida -- it's common that people will overlook Trubbish, but they are unique and wonderful creatures with incredible potential. This one happens to be the child of my own Garbodor, so I think I can vouch for its quality as both a fighter and a friend. Should you need any advice on raising it, remember I am always a message away. -- Ford
JANE gets two wrapped gifts, one of which is rectangular and one of which is just kind of an awkward lump. The rectangular one is a pale pink notebook with a little pocket on the inside of both covers and a calendar insert. On the cover is a paper cutout of an Audino that most definitely wasn't on it when it was purchased. The first couple of lined pages are devoted to what Ford knows about breeding: tips, tricks, and examples of spreadsheets he makes use of for his own projects. There is also a note tucked into the inside cover that reads Jane -- I didn't want to risk getting you those books we discussed in the event that you'd already purchased them, so this felt like the next best thing. I find in this sort of situation organization goes a very long way. -- Ford
The lumpier present turns out to be a folded-up knit hat, also pink, with Audino ears coming off the side (the little curlique bits are the danglies!).
NEWT gets a wrapped notebook as well, but this one isn't meant for his use. Instead, it's a tiny 100 page pocket notebook filled cover to cover with fantastic beasts and magical objects from Ford's own dimension, complete with illustrations (this gift has been in the works a long time. He pretty much started it right after he finished Armin's book in Mount Moon). Of note are the ten tiers of ghost, the hide-behind, unicorns, gnomes, zombies, the plaidypus, barf fairies, the stomach-faced duck, beard cubs, truth teeth, the portal-potty (yes really), and more. It also doesn't come wrapped in paper- instead it's bundled into a scarf made to look like a Comfey, along with a small note that says Would you believe this isn't the first time I've had to recreate my life's work from scratch? -- Ford
MAURICE is another who gets a Pokéball. Inside it is a shiny level 1 Grubbin (Botan's Ditto really does leave nothing behind). There is also another small wrapped gift, which turns out to be a Swiss army knife patterned with Drilbur and Excadrill's stripes. Along with both come a note that reads Maurice -- I admit I wasn't sure at first what to gift you with, so I went the safe route and gave you two different bottle openers. I hope you find at least one of them useful. -- Ford
RAKKA gets a huge scarf-- and no wonder it's huge, it's knit to look like a Furret. It also comes with a pair of fingerless gloves that have Furret striping on them. There is also another scarf-- a Silk Scarf for one of her Pokémon. Taped to the outside of one of the lumpy packages is a note that reads I sincerely apologize for punching you, regardless of how real dream pain technically is. -- Ford Pines
ANNA gets two square wrapped packages and one lumpy one. The two square ones are, respectively, a Tentacool-shaped Walkman (the earbus are the tentacles!) and four CDS (NidoQueen, Led Drifblim, Hustle, and Blue Cloyster Cult). Inside the wrapping for the CDS is a note that reads Anna -- I realize nothing like this must exist in your world, which is why I thought you would enjoy it. This music is much like the kind I listened to when I was your age. -- Ford
As for her other gift-- it's a Big Root. He sees your Pokémon, Princess, and how there's a pretty heavy skew toward Grass Types. He knows what you're about.
ELSA will find that her gift is mostly digital. Two new sound files are sent to her Pokégear: guided meditation imagery for her and her Pokémon, both about half an hour long. Ford has his own methods he likes to use and has got pretty set in after decades of doing this, so he had to make them himself. Obviously. The only physical gift delivered to her is a TM for Aurora Veil and a note that reads Elsa -- As you take on the Gyms in earnest, it will pay to keep your mind centered. I find taking time each morning to organize myself helps tremendously and it may for you as well. Candles are not necessary but they also don't hurt. -- Ford
BOTAN, as thanks for lending out her shiny Ditto to provide two of these other presents, will receive a set of hair ribbons patterned with different Ghost type Pokémon (and, of course, her Ditto back). There is also a note that reads Thank you for your assistance with some of my more recent breeding projects. I hope these are to your taste. -- Ford Pines
HEATHER will receive just one lumpy package. Inside is a set of boxing hand wraps patterned with Poliwrath swirls and pair of Black Glasses -- surely one of her team can use them. There is also a note that reads Should you ever wish to learn how to hit people professionally, you know how to reach me. - Ford
There are also gifts planned for Armin, Bertolt, Jean, Ash and Lust, but they are either getting given in-person or need finalization (you can bet I might just wing the last two WE'RE DOING IT LIVE).
IT KRIMBO TIME
JANE'S GIFTS will all be delivered a few days before Christmas Eve, either by Pidgey Post or in person! And yes, one part of your gift involves homemade cookies.
Rakka will receive a box of blueberry pie cookies - something new Jane's trying to bake for the first time, but will still taste dang good - and a glass locket necklace with a few charms already inside - an 'R', a feather, a book, and a daisy. There's also a card included with a local jewelry vendor, kind of like an Etsy artisan, who made the lockets and charms; go get yourself some more, girl!
Penny will receive a box of cinnamon roll cookies to match her status as a cinnamon roll, as well as a bracelet adorned with several charms: a 'P', a symbol for the Steel Type, a ribbon tied in a bow, and - you guessed it - a daisy. There's also a card in the box for the vendor Jane got them from (the same as Rakka's actually) so Penny can get herself more charms if she'd like.
Lust will receive a box of sinfully decadent cookies and a small gift bag full of lots of sweet ends and odds; nail polish, a fancy lil notebook, a pen with extra sparkles, and some chocolate TEA are inside. Lust is a sweet lady and lovely friend and Jane wanted to get her a bit of a lot of things.
Ford will receive a small box of pinata cookies shaped and colored like Pokemon eggs, each containing a different kind of candy - all safe to share with Pokemon too, if he doesn't want to eat THAT much sugar - and a box containing three notebooks that he will surely fill up in his exploits, and some very nice pencils to go along with them. There's...also a pencil sharpener in the shape of a Claydol? Huh.
Joker will receive a box of graham cracker cookies in the shape of various Pokemon that can be seen in his circus, as well as a black, silky scarf with Zoroark embroidered on the ends in a deep purple-ish thread - they're probably supposed to be shinies.
Ignis will be receiving a box of cookies and a nice set of gloves that she...hopes will suit him? He gives off the kind of air of a guy who'd like this sort of thing.
Also! Anyone stopping by the Homestuck House will be given an assortment of various Holiday cookies to take home with them, all baked by Jane...because of course she's been baking nonstop. They are all safe for both human and Pokemon consumption, so share the love with your team!
MERR KRIMBO
THIDA'S GIFTS will be delivered at odd times in person during the month of December, if you live in Goldenrod, or before Christmas Eve by Pidgey Post if you do not. They are wrapped poorly but with great care.
Jean will receive a fluffy blanket patterned with Voltorbs! After the Trick or Tree event, something to keep someone else warm...it just seemed right to give.
Krieg will receive a large, fleecy hoodie to keep him warm in the cold winter months - it's patterned like a Blaziken, so now he and Murder Chicken can match!
Botan will receive a nice new apron for baking, on which are sewn patches of Ghost Pokemon in silly hats. There's a Gengar wearing this, a Misdreavus in this, the list goes on!
Joker will receive a driftwood knicknack carved into a Larvesta, the little whorled horns actually carved from chunks of Fire Stone that were too small to be used as proper evolution stones. There is also a pair of Mime Jr. patterned dress socks.
Noctis will receive a nice wall scroll of some fishy art that she believes he and the Karp Squad will appreciate in their house.
Ford will receive...a cardboard box! And inside the box are a couple of things, the first being two plush toys: one is an Inkay, and one is an Octillery, both of which have been given handmade accessories made from all sorts of found materials to look something like opposing factions. The accessories aren't super well made, but they get the point across. Underneath, there is a plain notebook with few pages, all filled in. On the inside cover in sparse, small handwriting, there is "Thank you for listening. - Thida" and the contents of the pages give a basic overview of Inkling society and culture, as seen from Thida's eyes as both a native and a circumstancial loner, and an account of her time in Octo Valley fighting the Octarians and retrieving Zapfish. That's right - Ford gets to learn about Splatoon, even if it's not super eloquent or scientific-sounding.
Jimmy Darling had made a post recently about starting up some gardening, and while Thida didn't comment to it, she did see it, and got him a set of tools and some packets of seeds for him to get started! And...will also be in-person asking if she's allowed to room with him in his house like he's offered her in the past, if that's okay.

WALTER might be on the down low this festive season, but he remembers how it felt to give and receive presents from last year. So here comes some presents, some anonymous, delivered by Murkrows!
HEATHER receives quite a few things! For her, there's a notebook with a Rapidash cover, tin of poffins, a box of Pokemon-shaped cookies. BUT THERE'S MORE! For KITE, WARDEN and WOLF, there's some hand-drawn pictures of them by none other than Assumption! They're much better than the first pictures he had given them over a year ago. For WOLF there's an extra gift tucked with his picture; TM30, Shadow Ball! There's also a note, written by Walter.
WRATH also receives a neatly wrapped box. It contains...food. A lot of good food, from festive treats to your everyday sweet kick (such as pudding cups). All of it is marked as safe for human and Pokemon consumption. There's a note attached as well, pointedly stuck on top so it can't be outright missed - he knows Wrath well.
ENVY gets a pair of mittens/gloves; the kind that are fingerless but have additional fabric that can be placed over the fingers to form mittens. There's a case of glitter and poffins that are especially favoured by bird type Pokemon, so it should be no surprised that it's marked 'For Darkness and Lyra'. There's also a short letter attached.
KRIEG gets something simple; a Charizard lighter (it's designed so the flame comes from it's tail) and a Cubone skull ornament. The note attached simply reads: "I'm still here."
JIMMY receives a book of short, vaguely spooky folklore tales titled "The Grave of the Marowaks and Other Stories". There's no note attached to this one.
CISSNEI gets two presents for herself; a woolly tartan scarf and a book on the Kanto region. There's another item in the box however; an Expert Belt, explicitly marked as being for TSENG. There's no letter so who knows who on Walter's team would have included that...
DIANA also gets a little something. She also gets a scarf, this one stylized after Banette with some thick stitching and patterned fabric. Along with this is a TM > Confide! It's got Dare's name on it. There's no note with this gift.
---
* HEATHER'S NOTE:
Heather,
The poffins are for your Pokemon, but the cookies are suitable for both you and them. I was not sure what you would like or enjoy. I hope you can, at least, find a use for the notebook. Thank you for caring for Assumption.
Walter.
PS: The TM Assumption chose for Wolf is 'Shadow Ball'.
** WRATH'S NOTE
Wrath,
I hope you and your pokemon are still doing well. This is for all of you.
Walter.
*** ENVY'S NOTE
Envy,
I apologise, for not asking before leaving Darkness with you. He wanted to be with Lyra over me. I wanted him to be happy.
I appreciate you caring for him. I hope this gift shows that.
Walter.

DIANA'S GIFTS
Jinx is getting a set of knitted hand warmers, the kind that work by chemical reaction and you can hold or keep on you pockets.

For a nerd. x and Thanks for putting up with me. x x x Obviously, she got Jinx some styling winter clothes too. And all her shit is wrapped in pink too. Because it's funny.

Wrath gets a industrial sized box of various snacks. Attached to the top is a bag of roasted peanuts. For the best peanut. Diana x
Walter is getting a simple but very nice quality cashmere hat and gloves. They're washable of course, gotta be practical here.

Cissnei's Gifts
Miss Korra is going to find herself gifted with a box of Poffins for all her Pokemon along with a silver pendant that's shaped like an Arcanine's head. She'll also be receiving a thick, knitted blue blanket that has a border of snowflakes all the way around it.
Walter
Walter is going to be getting one of the biggest packages from Cissnei mostly because of her Pokemon adding things in. First and foremost, for Walter himself there's going to be several small books; pocket sized guides to the cities of the Kanto region. There's also wax seal for letters that leaves the imprint of a Marowak's head when used.
For his Pokemon there are several small boxes:
For Claudia, there's a Never-Melt Ice along with a silver snowflake scarf that serves no purpose other than being pretty.
Just like her.For Robbie there's a box of Pokemon-safe cookies that were made with cookie cutters, clearly done by someone young. (Glint and Gleam specifically)
For Source there's a Charcoal. It may seem like normal charcoal but it's actually one that boosts fire type moves. (Tseng is being a bit of an ass while also being nice okay.)
For Doll there is a box of colored safety pins and some random buttons with different cheesy Pokemon-related jokes on them from Fiend.
And for his group as a whole, there are several boxes of homemade cookies and Poffins for them all to share!
Yayoi
Yayoi is going to receive a scarf with matching hat and gloves in a lovely yellow color. She's also getting two charms - one silver Raichu and one silver Mimikyu - along with the bracelet they attach to.
Heather
While they don't know one another all that well, Cissnei considers Heather a friend and thus, gifts! Heather will be receiving a box of Christmas Cookies and Fudge that are just for her while her Pokemon will have a box of Christmas treats all for themselves. There's also an Agate pendant for Heather with a short note. "These stones apparently protect travelers against all sorts of things. Given our last meeting, I thought it might be useful. Take care -Cissnei"
Angel
For Angel, Cissnei purchased a hand-knitted wool sweater for her that's a sky blue in color with the stitched outline of Seels around the cuffs and hem as well as two bracelets, both made out of Agate. (One and Two) The note attached to the bracelets reads "Agate apparently protects people from anything that might harm them. Please stay safe. -Cissnei."
Noctis Gifts
HEY GUESS WHAT ASH? TIME FOR MORE PRESENTS! Ash is going to be getting two new silver charms for the bracelet Noctis got him previously - a Braviary and a Gyarados. He's also getting a new strap for his guitar that is different shades of blues and white and covered in Seels and Spheals! (Because Selkie stuff okay.) As usual there's also stuff for his Pokemon because can't stop won't stop!
Danny is going to be receiving a some Christmas Cookies that Bean picked out for him as well as a warm, black knit scarf that she made Noctis purchase.
An Tintreach is getting a Magnet held item from the trio! She's also getting a custom made pair of "fingerless" gloves fit for a Raichu~
Ignis
For his dear adviser Noctis picked out a campfire coffee maker set with two collapsible mugs - easy for traveling! There's also a necklace that Noctis made himself - hold in your shock! - that has a wooden carved pendant. The piece is a...okay it's not a perfect rendition of the Crownsguard symbol but he tried, okay. (Ignis's gifts will be getting delivered in person.)
Prompto
Like Ignis, Prompto is also getting a wooden carved pendant on a necklace but his is going to be a different design. Instead of the Crownsguard symbol Prompto is getting one that's carved like a camera with a skull and crossbones in the lens of the camera. It's very obviously handmade but Noctis tried his best! There's also a winter jacket in the mix for him and a hat to match! (Pick any colors that you like. c: It's definitely big and puffy though.)
Thida
For Thida Noct has picked out a pair of new rain boots and a Castform raincoat for those terrible rainy days that he knows she's not a huge fan of. He also picked out a a Snorlax plushie that's probably about the size of Thida herself because everyone needs a Snorlax to sleep on okay.
Vanitas's Gifts
Vani's
boyfriendbff is going to be receiving a pair black figure skates that Vanitas had made for him by an old man in Mahogany Town. There's also a Team Skull hat wrapped for him along with finger-less black gloves. Because Edge Lords.Diana
Diana will be getting a nice thick, warm hoodie that is made to look like a Salazzle. There might also be a small tin of Christmas cookies in there as well but he has no idea how those got in there, God.
Jack
Two bottles of alcohol. Because what else do you get for someone like Jack? :'D Oh, there's also a Christmas card inside that was hand made by what could be mistaken for a child but it was really Jack's #1 BIGGEST FAN, FLOOD! Merry Christmas, Mr. Jack!
Jinx
Jinx is getting a bag of fireworks because Vanitas has a feeling it'll be hilarious giving them to her okay.
Gaige
Isn't getting anything special but..hey, Vani likes her so he's sending some Christmas cookies and Poffins for her and her Pokemon.
Xion
Despite insisting that he hates her, Vanitas is going to be sending his "sister" a present. It's nothing special, just a rope necklace with a silver heart locket on it. Seriously. Nothing special at all. Don't make a big deal about it.
Newt's Gifts
Armin is, of course, going to be getting part two of Newt's book! Same as before it's all handwritten and full of small sketches covering beasts of all shapes and sizes from Newt's world, letter's G through L. There's also a box of candies that Newt picked up in Goldenrod - all handmade by a lovely old lady there - as well as a special gift for Nemesis: A Mystic Water.
Pamela
Pamela is going to be receiving a rather large package from Newt and his crew with a variety of gifts and treats for everyone! For Ivy herself there is a silver necklace with two leaves that Newt had made in Pewter City. There's also a book on all Herbology related things from his world - what he can remember, of course, since that was never really his forte! It comes all sorts of plant-creatures as well as what various magical plants are used for. Lastly there is a slightly over-sized knit sweater in a deep, emerald green with thumb holes in the sleeves. The inside is lined with an extra layer of flannel for extra warmth!
For her Pokemon there is a box of handmade goodies that Queenie and her helpers made along with Christmas cards all made by the little ones that Newt takes care of! (Don't expect them to be legible. It's mostly doodles and scribbles.)
Ford
Mr. Ford is going to be receiving the second hand written copy of Newt's book - beasts A through F, that is! Similar to Armin's it contains all the beasts that Newt has encountered back home and the information he's learned about them as well as personal encounters he had with certain beasts. There are sketches on almost every page, though Newt would never count himself an artist, but hopefully Ford will enjoy it nonetheless!
Diana
For Diana, Newt has put together several things. For the young lady herself, Newt commissioned the old lady that made Armin's gift before to make a nice wool scarf in Gryffindor colors. (Accept his house choice for you, Diana!) There's also a pair of gloves to match. She'll also find a few small statues of various canine-Pokemon that are carved out of different stones native to this world. (Collectible figures!)
There's a gift for one of Diana's Pokemon included in the delivery as well. For Petey there is a small box, shoe-box sized, that has been divided into different sections and the dividers can be taken out if one wants! Each section contains different things, one has marbles, one has sand, another has colored beads--all sorts of seemingly odd things. What Newt's created, though, is a sensory box that Petey can play with to stimulate himself. He can combine the different sections if he wants, play with things separately, whatever he likes! And new stuff can always be added.
For the rest of her troop there is a large box of cookies and treats courtesy of Queenie and her helpers!
Sion and Ryner
These two will be receiving their gifts together since they live together and all that good stuff! For Sion there is a knit scarf in Ravenclaw colors and for Ryner there is one in Hufflepuff colors. There are also two hand written journals included in the box with information about the world Newt comes from! He tried to cover as much as he could about the wizardry world but there's plenty that didn't make it in this time around.

- A Holiday card, with Litwicks on a Menorah. Yuri just thought it was cute. Shut up.
Jimmy
- A booklet of different seeds, organized by season.
Newt
- A photo Christmas card with Zorya, little arms crossed and the most infuriated look on her face. Santa hat sat on her lowered ears and she looked everything like a small child being forced to stand there. Around her were flower petals of a clearly destroyed flower sacrificed in exchange for this photo.
- A nice tie because he doesn't know what to get older people usually. It has tiny Joltiks patterned all over it.

Wherever Angel is —and Amadeus will search very hard for her—, she’ll receive two packages from Armin.
- The biggest contains a soft blue scarf. It’s patterned with shells.
- The second smaller package contains a delicate silver and pink necklace. Enclosed is a note in Armin’s hand: The stones on this necklace are made from the shed coral of Corsolas. Back home on the islands, there is an old man who visits the markets every day who creates all manner of jewellery from Corsola coral. I hope I can one day show you everything he sells
Ash
Ash will receive two wrapped packages: a great big lumpy one and a smaller one.
- The great big lumpy one will turn out to be a black hoodie with this print on front.
- The smaller package contains a patch (the sort to sew onto a bag or jacket) depicting a Seel in a circle with the words ‘Seel of approval’ around it.
Miss Botan
Miss Botan too will receive two package. One rather small and one bigger, but still very light.
- The big package will reveal itself to be a thin pink scarf patterned with seashells and coral.
- The second package will turn out to contain a pair of small silver and pink earrings. Enclosed is a note in Armin’s hand: These stones are made of the shed coral of corsolas. Back on the islands, there is an old man who visits the markets once a week to sell things like this. He can be a bit gruff but everything he crafts is amazing.
Krieg
Krieg will receive one package, though there are two things inside. One of the two is a chunk of Charcoal, the other a Muscle band. There is also a note.
Krieg, you’ve told me before you like to spar with your pokemon and you enjoy gym battles. I hope these items will make your fights a bit more exhilarating. The Charcoal, when given to a pokemon, will power up the strength of their fire moves. The Muscle Band does the same, but increases the strength of any physical move.
Kazuki
Kazuki will be receiving a big box of miss Botan’s finest baked goods, tasty treats for both pokemon and humans!
The people who Armin is giving his gifts to in person will get inbox threads, though I might later add those gifts here for completion sake.

Anna > She's been very active with the camera function on the gear, snapping pics all the time. So for Christmas, she's getting Anna a picture frame. It's small enough to fit in her backpack for easy carrying- but the best part is? It's digital! And there are many, Many pictures on it all focusing on pictures of them together with their Pokemon with room to add more as their teams change and expand.
Don't ask her how long it took her to figure out how to put the pictures on there.Ford > is getting this notebook wrapped in this sweater- which Elsa, in fact, does not realize Implies Things, she just thinks it's a cute lil pika-pun. Don't judge her okay. To be helpful, she's also included copies of her own notes throughout her journey, mostly based on the behavior of her own Pokemon and how it differs from other Pokemon she's met of the same species as well as quirks. It's not super in-depth or anything, but she's Helping. They're all stapled together and tucked in the back of the notebook she's giving him.
EVERYONE ELSE is going to get lil gift bags filled with assorted treats and whatnot, because Elsa wants to give stuff to everyone she's interacted with over the months even if she doesn't know them well enough to get them something heartfelt.
So anyone she's talked to will be getting a lil bag like that, plus a short thank-you note if they've helped her in any way since she's been here, since she really appreciates that kind of thing. Feel free to assume you've gotten one from Elsa!
From Chloe
Anna > presented without comment
Korra > this gyarados keychain but made of glass and painted all pretty.
Henry > This hoodie
Bert > a fancy ass baking set plus a very large baking cookbook for Ideas.

Chloe gets a package of Persim berries... and a card hoping that her Pokemon are alright!
GIFTS!
Heather: A travel barbecue. It looks like a small metal box, but it unfolds into a fully functional barbecue and grill. Lust has painted flames on it to give it that extra 'Heather' touch. It claims to be self cleaning. Invaluable for world traveling trainer!
Henry: A Make Your Own Chocolate! kit. It comes with a melting pot, molds in the shape of various Pokemon and Pokeballs, ingredients, and decorative bits. There's also a cookie decorating kit, because Lust figures anything that can be used on a cookie can be used on chocolate. Artsy and edible!
Alphonse: A box of fancy teas, a knitted (by a professional) hooded scarf and gloves set and a pair of sturdy and fashionable brown leather boots.
Timothy: An old fashioned typewriter with his initials engraved on the side, a leaf of typing paper, and a book titled An Introduction to Johto Literature. The card says 'It's time you did what you're supposed to be doing'.
Joker: A fancy duster that made her think of him.
Jane: An elegant pokeball necklace and a fashionable set of blue suede gloves with fur cuffs.
Krieg: A gift box of meat seasonings and a nice meat tenderizer.
Shiro: A three layer box of fancy chocolates, and a wind chime featuring various Eevee evolutions with a card that reads 'for when you find a place to make your own'.
Edward: A hardcover book entilted 'Pokemon and Modern Medicine: How We Got From There to Here', which goes into the medical abilities and capabilities of various Pokemon and the history of their discovery and applications.
Botan: A set of fashion scarves and a bottle of raspberry wine.
Wrath: A new wardrobe of clothes entirely. A set of children's encyclopedia. A stocking full of candy. And some just for fun toys such as a remote controlled truck, a big tub of non-toxic play dough in different colors, and a couple of video games.
And pretty much all of Lust's casual CR/people she hasn't talked too much this year will get a little box of candy and a card featuring three Espurr kittens in unravelling holiday sweaters attempting to line up in front of a fireplace.
no subject
Jean - a Pokeball containing a Budew. There's a note reading: Be it's friend, you'll see why this is for you. Don't give up hope. It's moveset is up to Jean!
-- Jean & Armin are also getting a pair of tickets to the observatory. But it'll come more belatedly, after the Meowth is discovered.
Krieg - it's a knitted scarf with a pattern like this. With lots and lots of murder chickens on it. And a note: I thought it'd be better than a sweater.
Botan - A pair of these, with the beads styled to look like Gengar eyes.
Bert - Ursaring style oven mitts. They're really cute and super durable!
Heather - Heather gets a metal bat. It's very heavy, and has a big red bow. It's the closest thing he could find to a pipe. There's also a shirt. And then, mostly in apology for his awful sense of humor, a ticket to the observatory in the Sevii Islands, and a couple cupcakes striped like Arcanines.
THE CR I FORGOT - because i know i forgot some, consider yourself gifted one of these.
no subject
Krieg will receive a thick leather bracelet, adorned with a metal strip featuring a feather.
Jack gets a bottle of vodka (hopefully he likes it) and some Proteins. As if his Pokemon need to be stronger
(can you tell she isn't sure what he likes)
Armin receives hand drawn maps of Johto and Kanto, as well as a book about various explorers through Poke-history.
Jean gets an ugly sweater adorned with Voltorbs and a scarf with Incineroars

MERRY CRONKMAS
Godzilla will be shyly presenting Chimera with a large bag of oranges.
For HENRY: A pot of Rose Incense, TM 53: Energy Ball (she wants to encourage him to start battling with his Pokemon instead of his face), a simple black journal with a silver lock and accompanying Klefki-shaped key, a bar of pale green bath soap with dried/crushed Meganium leaves in it (the packaging said it would help soothe anxiety and calm aggressive urges), and of course the usual pile of his favorite junk foods.
For LUST: Like Envy, Lust is getting a copy of TM 62: Acrobatics. So many acrobatic people in this house. She's also getting Drama Queen's Guide to Radio and Cinema (a hefty volume exploring this world's history with fictional media as told by a theater-loving Nidoqueen mascot), a luscious box of chocolates, and last but not least, some Leftovers for Guttle to nibble on.
For ALPHONSE: An old-fashioned compass that she found at one of the antique stalls in the Christmas Market, TM 67: Smart Strike, and a big jar of delicious Honey, wrapped in a red ribbon and accompanied by a little wooden Combee-shaped spoon.
For EDWARD: A lump of Charcoal. Wow, passive aggressive? ACTUALLY NO. There's a note taped to it just in case he hasn't encountered the item before, explaining that it boosts the power of Fire-type moves in battle, and that since the only Pokemon she's really seen him use thus far are Fire-types, she figured he could use it. There's also a soft red scarf, a pair of matching gloves, and a carrot wrapped up in a red ribbon (for his long-suffering Ponyta).
For JOKER: A set of pretty Glass Flutes (Yellow, Blue, and Black). Joker's a theatrical guy, and Heather figured that in addition to their practical value, maybe he could find a way to use them in his acts.
For SHIRO: A Weakness Policy. At first glance, the gift could sort of read as... condescending. But there's a note attached to it: "Sometimes it takes getting hit in our weak spots to show us how strong we really are. Now your Pokemon can bounce back too!"
There's also a very soft black Mareep wool sweater with flecks of white and blue, and a loaf of cranberry-orange bread.
For JEAN: A Muscle Band (to help his Pokemon get STRONK), TM 43: Flame Charge, and... (drumroll)... a whole set of outdoorsy body sprays. There's post-it notes on several of them reading things like "WORKOUT DE-STANK: before AND after!" and "Wear this one when you see a cute girl and/or guy and start sweating. IT WILL SAVE YOU." She also included a few tamer, more neutral-smelling ones in the hopes that Jean won't constantly drown his travel party in a cloud of fake leather smell.
For STANFORD: A pair of Wise Glasses (to make up for the ones she may or may not have wound up breaking with her wild stabbing in Nightmare Land). There's also a Legend Seekers patch ("I want to Celebelieve") and a small fruitcake because... idk man he seems like the kind of person who would like fruitcake.
For WALTER: WELL, Heather did have some things for Walter... but then he 'disappeared'. Or DID he?! Heather genuinely isn't sure WHAT'S going on, but for whenever Walter resurfaces, she'll be hanging onto some gifts for him... TM 20: Safeguard, and a beautiful wooden keepsake box with the majestic silhouette of a Ninetales burned into the lid. A small inscription promises a curse upon anyone who opens it but the rightful owner.
For Assumption, Wolf will shyly but proudly present him with a long, wrapped object: a Thick Club! Carefully drawn on it in red Sharpie is something slightly shaky, but still recognizable: the Seal of Metatron.
no subject
Henry: A new set of scrubs with Leafeon print, some locking containers because he could always use more of those for his drugs, and a big snack variety pack
Lust: A nice spa/bath kit. It’s all pomegranate scented, but Envy’s put tape over all the scent labels and written “The Blood of Your Enemies” instead.
Wrath: A (child safe) dart set so he can practice his throwing aim in the house without killing anyone and a magic trick set.
Joker: The absolute most garishly colored winter coat Envy could get his hands on, a Zoroark themed scarf, and a book of matches with “in case of arson” written on the back.
Alphonse: A Potion and three plain Pokeballs. He will look Al dead in the eye and say that it’s in case he needs them for gyms. Later, Al will find an anonymous package addressed to him containing TMs for Substitute and Calm Mind
Edward: A tupperware sandwich container. It has a little plastic knife inside. He does not get a nicer secret gift.
Walter: Envy didn’t originally get Walter anything, but after he gets Walter’s gift, Walter will get a disposable camera, as well as an envelope containing a number of pictures of Darkness and Lyra being happy together.

....
Actually no he's... definitely raided the garbage for some of them, but less it of is blatantly rubbish.
For LUST: A dark purple hair scarf with swooping swirls of glitter. There's a few holes in it and the glitter kind of gets everywhere, but it's otherwise rather pretty. A note attached to it reads:
For ENVY: A half-whittled wooden Zoroark-- he found it by the docks, and only part of the head was whittled before the sailor or whoever was doing it tossed it. Wrath took it upon himself to do the rest of it... meaning that there's roughly half of a beautifully detailed Zoroark face and then the rest was just crudely hacked into a shape very loosely resembling a body. A note attached to it reads:
For JOKER: A purple, diamond-patterned velvet top-hat with a fake Lugia feather in it. It's real! It's even kind of fancy-looking! But it's also very old, and sort of looks like someone sat on it at some point. Where did he find this? A thrift shop? There's a note attached to it:
For HENRY: A surprisingly-nice glass vase with a Sunflora pattern in peeling paint. It's a little bit dusty, but at least it's not broken. There is a droopy flowering weed in it already. There's a note attached to it:
For DIANA: A small glass bottle. It's filled with... dirty water and flower petals? It still smells really nice on the outside, though... A note attached to it reads:
For VANITAS: A flashlight. The glass is slightly cracked, but it still works. There is a note attached to it:
For PROMPTO: Prompto is Wrath's NEWEST FRIEND and therefore, Wrath has broken out the big guns. That is to say... Prompto will have delivered to him a plastic shopping bag full of Johto Foods-brand generic vanilla pudding cups. Which are Wrath's favorite. Please like him. There's a note attached:
For WALTER: ... Well. Here's the thing. Wrath was going to get Walter something. Maybe a cursed-looking toy, or an old Teddi-bear with half the stuffing ripped out so that it's mostly just a skin. But then Walter did the unthinkable.
So what Wrath actually did, come Christmas time, was write an extremely angry note, tearfully stomp up to the top of the tallest hill he could find, and hurl it off the hill as hard as he could in total belief that this would somehow take it to Walter, wherever he was.
Which of course it didn't.
So now some random person or Pokemon in the National Park might find a piece of paper reading:
TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR
I HOPE U CATCH A DISESE THAT MAKES UR LIMS FALL OFF SLOWLE AND THEN THEN THE MEAT FLESH THAT IS LEFT GETS PUT IN A DUNGEON FOR A HUNDRED YEERS 2 THINK ABOWT WHAT UVE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
