[explosivecombat]

KIYOTAKA ISHIMARU is the only one on my roster that doesn't completely suck at Christmas and that's sad, and he's been working half a million jobs to pay for this so he's going all out for once in his miserable life.
Mondo Oowada - OH MY GOD KYOUDAI IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WEAR A DAMN SHIRT YOU'RE GOING TO BE GETTING THE WARMEST GODDAMN SCARF IN JOHTO :| ...also he. he might be getting you cotton candy. lots of it. just this once. ...and let's be honest with ourselves he's dragging you out shopping and buying you a damn proper shirt anyway.
Parker - well, since she tends to ask for money, she's getting a ridiculous amount of money. And a few days before Christmas (so she can wear them for the next few days, naturally, if she wants to), she's getting some insanely gaudy hair decs. The sort with bells attached to them. Some of them have little lights. All of them are hideous shades of red and green and gold. THE ONES WITH LIGHTS BLINK BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY DO.
Makoto Naegi - you're getting a coat, of the "intensely nice peacoat" variety, for use during special occasions when the hoodie is not appropriate. (SUCH OCCASIONS DO EXIST, NAEGI-KUN.) It's green and at least seems to verify that Ishimaru has more of a grasp on what fashion is than he thinks he does.
Chiaki Nanami - one of those board-game sets that converts into like six different boards because why not, also a protective case for storing things in that's emblazoned with the mascot from Robot Rapidash Attack
Leon Kuwata - you're getting cologne that's supposed to be popular with the ladies (DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE MILLION SHADES OF RED HE TURNED TRYING TO ASK SOMEONE AT THE DEPARTMENT STORE FOR THIS)
Yasuhiro Hagakure - you are getting enough packs of incense to make the entire house hate Ishimaru for giving them to you in the first place because our sinuses will never be the same, as well as a specialty tarot deck themed around Pokémon and various bits of lore that fall into OOPArt territory
Byakuya Togami - collars for those two moneycats of yours, high-quality and with a small Comet Shard encased in wire hanging from each one. So basically it looks kind of like they're carrying the Universe from MIB, but at least it's not going halfway because shit's expensive.
Celestia Ludenberg - because it's Christmas and we're practically obligated to be nice to you, you're getting a good amount of Stardust (that can be sold for much $$$), also one of those red roses that give everybody the wrong idea.
Carmen Sandiego - you're finally getting that report you asked for, also a set of earrings that convert from clip to pierced as needed - gold with small Star Pieces in them.
John Egbert - you are getting so many knockoff pokemon-centered horror/paranormal/sci-fi dvds, man. like, of the b-movie so-bad-they're-awesome variety.
Maka Albarn - hair decs. Hair decs everywhere. With Emolgas all up on them.
Carter Blake - THE CARE PACKAGE YOU ARE GETTING, GOOD SIR, BECAUSE AFTER THAT LAST CONVERSATION HE WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU FAILED YOUR WAY RIGHT INTO A TREE OR A FIRE OR OFF A CLIFF OR SOMETHING
Rude - look he has no idea what to get you but like hell if he's not going to try, so just...cuff...links? guys in suits like cufflinks right AT LEAST THEY'RE NICE...
Jack Skellington - you are getting a damn tie patterned with Gengars making snowmen because wow what does he even get you, AT LEAST IT'S CUTE???
Shaun Mars - you're getting one of Aiko's eggs, and the egg moveset is positively terrifying, I will get on finding it again in a moment; also one of those ridiculously long red scarves he likes so you too can be a sentai hero or...something
Walter - is getting a care package thing as well, though it's less I HOPE YOU DON'T DIE HAVE A LOT OF MEDICINE and more just..."here it kind of sucks to be on the routes without these things," so ACTUALLY DECENT FOOD THAT DOESN'T SUCK also have this compass bro because you seem like the sort to wander in circles for years before working out where you're going, also unintentional symbolism sure why not

...Kyouko Kirigiri - BECAUSE HE TOTALLY DIDN'T FORGET YOU HE SWEARS you're getting perfume, and Ishimaru's taste in these things is actually surprisingly not godawful, also he's been shopping with Celes a few times so he sort of knows what he's doing. So at least it's decent if not necessarily blueberry-scented


SOLF J KIMBLEE really sucks at Christmas and most of the CR he actually gets things for are no longer present, but...
Frank Archer - you are getting That Thing We Discussed
Carmen Sandiego - you are getting That Thing We Discussed
Cobra Commander - SO guess who got a version of the Amestrian military uniform commissioned, albeit without all the Amestrian military insignia (because they closest they were willing to do was Dragonairs and that's just...no). He is fully aware that if you ever wear this thing it's going to be with the fucking faceplate but you know what, it's for this...potential Thing We Are Going To Do let's all show solidarity go fight win he's bad at this can you tell
Kato - you are getting a letter demanding that we go have fun sometime, also well-wishes for the season i guess, also a card for the department store for 20000P so you can just go on a ridiculous shopping spree for all the dresses and makeup you like because he's not judging your lifestyle for once today
Envy - you're getting a list of his current roster, if there's anything you want ping him for it and you'll get an egg with likely terrifying egg moves
Carter Blake - you are getting a letter wishing you well for the season, also indicating that if you're not taking care of his overpowered onion he's going to garrote you in your sleep, no pressure happy holidays
Dist - you're getting a Bronzor egg because why in the good hell not tbh
Crow - because he likes those letters wishing people well for the season, have that also 20000P, such money very "i tried" wow


ALFRED ASHFORD kind of hates everyone! But there are a couple of people he hates marginally less than the others, so.
Bertholdt Fubar - you are getting a Joltik egg because nothing says "you tried" like being gifted a tiny spider. Of course, this is also going to be a level 1 thing that already knows Fury Cutter, Agility, Bug Bite and X-Scissor as egg moves. So it's a mildly terrifying tiny spider! sob i'm so sorry
Phi - you're getting a puzzle box. Don't worry, it's a nice one. ...it's also hard mode so it takes about a million moves to open, but there's chocolate in it so yeah. Shut up, you talk to him at stupid o'clock in the morning and keep him halfway sane.


GLaDOS still has no idea why this is a thing we're doing, but hell, she was granted a lot of materials by a Certain Benefactor so we're doing it.
Carmen Sandiego and Obito Uchiha - you guys are getting a Companion Cube each, because why not. Try not to throw it into a fire, have fun figuring out what to do with it.
Frank Archer, Dist and...oh hell why not Crocker can have one too - you guys are getting turrets. They don't fire, of course, and they don't have sophisticated enough AI to think for themselves, but they do have motion sensors/laser sights and will speak when moved in front of/picked up. Stay in front of them too long and their little chassis things will open and...nothing will happen but that annoying snk-snk-snk sound of WE HAVE NO BULLETS HELP US PLEASE but hey, they're trying. (She had to record all the lines and so they're all sounding way less innocent and way more sarcastic than usual.)
Kato - you are likewise getting a turret, it's just one of the crap black ones with no casing. Expect terrible pick-up lines and general confusion as opposed to anything useful. c: (Also because these turrets are canonly male where she's from, she got Ryuunosuke to record these before he left Johto. SO YOU HAVE A CRAP TURRET THAT SOUNDS LIKE RYUUNOSUKE, YAY.)

[babel_hacker]

Okay, Atsuro will be anonymously sending out wasabi candy canes to a couple of people. If you want one for your character, even if there's no CR, let me know and we can say Atsuro tell the carrier Pidgeys to give them to random people. He just want to mess with people with the candy canes.

Souji will get a TM27 Return because friendship and...returns.

[superordinary]

FROM NAEGI
Kyouko Kirigiri - A box of these, TM45 Attract and a purple scarf.
Kiyotaka Ishimaru - The Pokémon equivalent of this, basically. Happy learning! I don't think it will have 100+ years of articles and stuff but there's definitely a substantial amount of content.
Leon Kuwata - A 2000P gift voucher to a music store and TM35 Flamethrower.
Mondo Oowada - A Metal Coat for that Scyther on his roster. Also a pair of roller slippers because according to this, he loves them.
Yasuhiro Hagakure - A Pokémon-themed deck of tarot cards.
Celes Ludenberg - An antique-looking doll because he remembers her liking the one he gave her back in murderschool. Also some high quality tea.
Byakuya Togami - The Pokémon equivalent of Luwak coffee beans and a murder mystery book by Agatha Crawdaunt
Chiaki Nanami - A Squirtle egg and some Pacman hairclips
John Egbert - A hoodie. Join the hoodie club. Resistance is futile.
Shaun Mars - ...A hoodie.
Parker - 5000P in an envelope and a make your own ukulele kit (Naegi honestly went "what do I even get this girl?" and proceeded to buy the damn kit)
Carter Blake - The Pokémon equivalent of Luwak coffee beans (HOPEFULLY THE TIN DOESN'T MENTION THE...PROCESS THAT INVOLVES BEANS PASSING THROUGH A POKÉMON) You saved his ass back in nightmare castle, have some fine luxury beans.
Phi - TM27 Return and some Christmas-themed cookies.
Walter - A Swiss army knife because those are useful and three Hyper Potions.
Atsuro Kihara - TM28 Dig and some Christmas-themed cookies.


FROM ALTER EGO
Carmen - A collection of 103 haikus about common household objects

[uncagedforjustamoment]

Nothing.

He's giving people nothing in the hope that it means he won't end up with a dozen eggs like at his birthday.

Also because he's poor because of Obito Neji.

[usedswift]

GET A JOB ALREADY YOU FREELOADER

[lullabytes]

Nanami will use all her job earnings so far (...in order to be able to do anything, she worked every day as much as she could :|b ) to get her gifts. Nearly everything comes from the gear store (only one thing isn't, actually), so anyone who has a present from her should have a gear notification on the 25th indicating they have a game ready for download, purchased for them by Nanami.

First off, anyone she's spoken to thus far will get a super glittery handmade card (made with Mondo!) which all have general well wishes within. Any special additions to the cards will be noted below.

Second off, EVERYONE IN DANGAN HOUSE (and also Shaun) will get a download of Poképarty, aka a multiplayer Mario Party clone thing, along with detailed instructions in their cards on how to connect to a multiplayer game with one another. Because that can only end well. Poképarty allows for games of more than four players, and instead of nintendo characters (because yeah...) it features pokemon (legendaries included) and famous trainers (such as gym leaders, professors, that sort of thing).

And onto the specific presents:

KIRIGIRI KYOUKO: A mystery adventure game, PI Pikachu. PI Pikachu is about a private investigator Pikachu; the gameplay varies from crime scene investigation to witness interrogation to random platforming minigames. All the characters are Pokémon, although all the dialogue is (thankfully) human (with a few added verbal tics relating to the Pokémon, at times). There are several different cases within, and an overarching storyline about the titular Pikachu's quest to solve the biggest mystery in his own past.
NAEGI MAKOTO: Buneary Bounce, an incredibly sugary and cute platformer wherein one controls a Buneary. Who bounces! The soundtrack is intensely upbeat bubblegum pop and the entire color palette is rainbow bright. Under Nanami's signature in his Christmas card is a code which unlocks the ability to play as a shiny Buneary when entered on the title screen (though instructions as to what to do with the code are not included in the card).
KUWATA LEON: Snubbull Stomp, which is half a PaRappa clone and half something else entirely. The player takes on the role of a Snubbull, and while there is actually rapping in the game (rhythm game ridiculousness) a lot of it is also dancing. The plot makes pretty much zero sense, but has to do with trying to impress a Skitty and also apparently trying to become mayor of Celadon City for some reason??? Or something? No one is really sure, honestly. At least the rhythm parts are fun.
HAGAKURE YASUHIRO: A magic 8 ball application for the gear. It has a bunch of Pokémon-specific phrases/puns for answers.
OOWADA MONDO: Stormy Cycling Road, in which the player takes on the role of a young motocylcist. If the cyclist isn't given a name, he defaults to Ken. It's his ~dream~ to take back the Cycling Road from the villains and various groups whose fights over the place have made it unsafe to travel. Among these groups is Team Epsilon, who are pretty obviously modeled after Team Rocket. Each level requires the player to take over a bit more of the path by racing various groups in a straight-up racer (not all characters are on motorcycles; some are on bicycles, some on Pokémon, all with different special skills and abilities), although there are minor platforming minigames here and there. Usually beating an area will make all those characters your ~friends~ and they will try to help you beat the ~final bosses~ who caused all the drama - Team Epsilon. The dialogue is incredibly cheesy and overdramatic (it's incredibly hard to take any of the characters seriously at all; it's pretty clear most of the budget went into the racing game parts) and the last scene involves everyone riding off into the sunset on the cycling road.
BYAKUYA TOGAMI: Sushi Skitty. Enjoy, Togami! Under Nanami's signature in his Christmas card is a code which unlocks the ability to play as a Meowth when entered on the title screen (though instructions as to what to do with the code are not included in the card).
KIYOTAKA ISHIMARU: The gear (and Pokéfied) version of Brain Age, with a floating Professor Oak head as the host.
CELESTIA LUDENBERG: Pretty Princess Pokémon, which is a Pokémon dress-up game. There are minigames within which earn Pokégems, which are the in-game currency to buy clothes and accessories. Your Pokémon can then have ~fashion offs~ with other people's in multiplayer mode. It is objectively pretty ridiculous, but the minigame sections aren't the worst thing ever. Under Nanami's signature in her Christmas card is a code which unlocks a decidedly gothic lolita dress for the chosen Princess Pokémon when entered on the title screen (though instructions as to what to do with the code are not included in the card).

SHAUN MARS: The gear version of Draw Something (or something similar), with various extra colors unlocked for him and a first move made from Nanami to be responded to already. It appears to be a Christmas tree!
PARKER/ALICE: Rainbow Rapidash Attack: Christmas Edition and these slipper socks.
SNOTLOUT: Magikarp Mayhem, a fishing game which will probably not help at all. The goal is to catch as many Magikarp as you can as quickly as you can, without hooking any other water type. It's actually got a pretty steep difficulty in the later levels.
BERTHOLT: A copy of Primeape Panic downloaded straight to his gear.

And AFTER the 25th, she'll get return presents for anyone who got her presents who she...didn't hit up. Those will (so far) include the following:

MAYURI: Ekans for the gear.
BLAKE: The mobile version of Voltorb Flip.
ATSURO KIHARA: Buneary Bounce, an incredibly sugary and cute platformer wherein one controls a Buneary. Who bounces! The soundtrack is intensely upbeat bubblegum pop and the entire color palette is rainbow bright. He doesn't get a code with his copy, since he's a gamer and can FIND IT ON HIS OWN, she has faith.

[francia]

Cecil Harvey will be receiving a 5' by 5' light-weight wooden storage box engraved with his initials on the cover.
Envy will be receiving a dark green winter greatcoat with a detachable fur-lined hood and two bottles of chocolate sauce for purposes.
Katara will be receiving a set of three matching silver bracelets set with pearls.
Killua will be receiving what looks like two pokeballs that have a discrete hidden compartment in them.
Latvia will be receiving a light-weight wooden kit filled with general first-aid supplies for both humans and pokemon.

Gifts from Rose!

[tentacletrainer]

If Rose knows you enough to know your name you are getting a small bag of sweets and a small bag of sweets for your Pokemon, both labeled accordingly, as well as a Happy Holidays card.

John A recipe book filled with cute Pokemon themed food, from breakfast to dessert, as well as a handful of the tools listed in the book to create most of the items (Pikachu pancake molds, etc). He also gets a blue journal filled with some rather nsfw stories. (Best bros ride together and suffer together, right?)

Dave A pair of knit shorts. Because knit shorts are hipster and Dave needs more hipster things. He also gets a red journal filled with some rather nsfw stories. (Tease her enough about writing porn and she's going to write you porn.)

Kanaya A knit dress! It's got a high, turtle-neck collar, goes to the knees and has long sleeves. It's in an olive green and comes with a white scarf and white hairband.

Ishimaru - A beautiful bouquet of red roses, of course. What else? Perhaps they will help to perfume that horrid basement...
Naegi - A Go set, accompanied by a note demanding he teaches her how to play. Better get learning~!
Hagakure - Once she'd seen this, she knew you had to have it. But you might get some nice tea as well, alright. She's not that horrid. Yes she is.
Mondo - She will demand to see the results of your usage of this!
Togami - This handy thing! She's sure you'll appreciate it~
Leon - Something he desperately needs...

[artfuldestruction]

Aaand this was supposed to go with that other comment, but oh well....

Dist - He will...be very unsure of how to handle all of these fantastic gifts, so he will insist on paying for all the food and drinks on their holiday (we're gunna have an awesome, fabulous time goddammit). You'll also be getting three rather expensive silk shirts (white, black and pink, of course), and a rahter intricate, small sculpture of a rose - congratulations, you actually got him sculpting again. Destruction isn't the only art he's good at, after all~!

Kimblee - Apparently we're just being fabulous at each other, because he's gotten you a rather nice black suit (and if it doesn't fit, he'll happily adjust it) with a matching black shirt; the tie, however, is amber, matching rather nicely to your eyes. You have nice eyes, you should show them off~!

GLaDOS - Oh you think you're funny, don't you c: Well, it just so happens that he's gotten you a nice beauty set, rather expensive too, really - and a note instructing you on exactly how to use it, if you aren't sure~!

Dante's Gift List

[redenzione]

Dante will be setting up and managing a Christmas goodies stall. Everyone who goes by him will get a free, small goodie bag containing one ginger bread man, one candy cane, and three pieces of chocolate.

Otherwise:
Blake: He is getting Blake a Christmas Log. He saw one on sale and thought it would make a good "sorry I decked you" Christmas present.
Kayneth: He's getting Kayneth a book about legends in the Poke world. Seems like what a scholar would like.
Walter: Walter is getting a Christmas ornament. It's basically a mini Christmas tree with very pretty lights that do switch on if you press a tiny button at the base. It looks pretty at least?

Riku's Gifts!

[islandshore]

Sora: A Pokémon version of The Year Without a Santa Claus with a note that says, "You win this round." He also went out and got a cool winter jacket for him.

Blake: A DVD collection of film Noir detective movies with a Pokémon spin. He thought it'd be entertaining in how silly they are.

Twilight Sparkle: A book collecting Pokémon legends from the Sinnoh and Unova regions.

John: A DVD collection of the hit series Courage the Cowardly Growlithe. It seemed appropriately spooky and he knows John likes ghosts.

Rainbow Dash:

Hope: A thick winter jacket with a fuzzy-rimmed hood along with a book on technological innovations of the Pokémon world. Hope seems smart, and it struck him as something he might find cool.

Lightning: Another winter jacket and a Lucario themed scarf.

Xion: A pack of TMs from the Celadon department store along with some assorted sweets for her and her Pokémon. Includes chocolate Garchomps. He thought she'd get a kick out of those.

Illya: A CD containing Pokéfied Christmas songs with a note that reads: "Hope this'll be easier on your ears than what's ahead." Also includes some assorted Christmas sweets. You know, in case she hates the music.

Applejack: A super durable lasso along with a book on Pokémon farming.

Katara: A necklace with a Piplup pendant. Girls like jewelry, right?

New friends/Acquaintances: Basically, if you've spoken to Riku on positive terms, you'll be getting some nice swag. Notably a TM pack containing Flamethrower, Blizzard, Thunderbolt, Double Team, and Toxic as well as some assorted berries.

Kayneth: A book showcasing a variety of esteemed artists in the Pokémon world... because it seemed classy enough for him. Yes.

If I'm missing anyone, please let me know! Sometimes I derp at stuff like this.

[heartdive]

Ooooh boy here we go! Everyone Sora has spoken to at least once gets a tin of cookies and fudge + some poketreats.


Otherwise!

Cecil: Cleffa charm for the Gear

I'm not late, its still Christmas yeah

So to everyone who's spoken to Yumi and at least given their name, they'll be getting a Happy Holidays card with the generic goodie bag and poketreats, all hopefully labeled correctly. As for specific people:

Naruto: An orange scarf with a card something like this.
Tenten: A red scarf with an extra amount of sweets and goodies cause there's nothing wrong with that.
Snotlout: A green scarf and a Cyndaquil egg. Attached is a note saying, "Its not one of Sina's eggs but I remembered you mention about wanting one so here you go."

ITS NOT MUCH I KNOW but this girl doesn't really know anyone else on what to give them and yeah :(

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

TRAVEL PARTY:
HARRY MASON: It's a small gift this year. A little box with a shiny green Thunderstone in it. Along with it is a note explaining that if Hazel should ever evolve into a Pikachu, the stone can be used to evolve him to his final form, Raichu. A newspaper clipping about Vermilion City's Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, is included because it shows a picture of them together.

HENRY TOWNSHEND: One of those big insulated camping tents-- but it was a little too big to wrap even in the box, so she just put this thing on the end of the sleeping bag.
... Yeah.

CROW HOGAN: A year's subscription to Sky High Magazine, delivered monthly by Pelipper. Sample articles include high-profile interviews with all the Flying-Type Gym Leaders, pieces on the growing trend of Sky Battles, and more. Also a few packages of double-chocolate cookies.

IRONHIDE: A hefty mountain bike, for those times when he REFUSES TO FLY WITH THEM and his Pokemon are too tired to ride. It's black, and collapsible when not in use. Included is a handwritten coupon entitling him to a grace period of learning to ride it without Heather laughing at him.


OTHER FRIENDS:

JACK SKELLINGTON: A heavy volume on the history of the Haunted Chateau in Sinnoh, as well as an Ugly Holiday Sweater (tm) featuring winter-morph Sawsbucks.

WRECK-IT RALPH: One of those food gift baskets you can order to have sent to people. Most of its contents are fancy cheeses.

ENVY: A bottle of nice wine to share with France, as well as a new set of heavy leather gloves. There's also a small note in one of them, reading only: I remember what happened on that weekend. Thank you. We should talk soon.

CARTER BLAKE: A bottle of surprisingly high-quality whiskey, to commemorate that time he was cool and didn't bust her for selling it. ... Included is the Pokemon equivalent of a D.A.R.E. pamphlet. No more Para shrooms for you, mister.

OLD SNAKE: An Ugly Christmas Sweater (tm) featuring Torkoals and mugs of hot chocolate. However, folded up in the sweater is a Pokeball and a note reading: I already told you that Otacon left me with Asimov when he left-- I love him but you were Otacon's best friend and since I already have a couple of other Electric Pokemon, I think you should have him. Merry Christmas, Dave.

SHAUN MARS: Shaun gets a Formechanger (tm)-- a toy Golurk that, with a fair amount of effort, can be turned into a car. He also gets a generously stuffed bag of Christmas candy.

APPLEJACK: It's not apples, but AJ will be receiving a Berry Pot along with a packet of Chople Berry seeds and instructions on how to use it. It comes with a complimentary Lotad-shaped sprinkler. She's also getting some butterscotch cookies and chocolates.

CARMEN SANDIEGO: A sweet-ass red handbag. Stylish but seemingly unremarkable-- there is, however, a very well-hidden pocket (good for stashing things you don't want found) in which Heather stashed a pair of sunglasses and a shitty drawing of a hand giving a thumbs-up.

Old Snake has a few gifts for very very few people this time around. So this list is going to be pathetically small.

HEATHER MASON - an over-sized winter cap that has a voltorb design on it. (Angry eyes included!)

HENRY TOWNSEND - a pack of cigarettes, with a note that just reads "keep them out of sight."

Pretend I posted this a week ago, guys.

CECIL
France: Eight piece porcelain dinnerware set, safely packed and decorated with flowers.
Lancer: Recipe for the wondrous drink known as the Frosty Jynx, along with two of each bottle needed to prepare it.
Tifa: Warm leather winter gloves that look suspiciously sturdy. Maybe even sturdy enough to punch a rock or two.
Lightning: Handsewn waterproof, fireproof sash with ten pockets, in a color that matches her original clothes.
Hope: Water-resistant watch with all sorts of useless yet amusing functions.
Aradia: Handmade egg pillow, large enough to fit up to five eggs and with so much stuffing that it could fall off a table and still keep the eggs safe.
John: Handsewn Banette plushie, stuffed with Arcanine hair and therefore warm to the touch. (Smells like dog when wet.)
Xion: Silver jewelry set (necklace/earrings/bracelet/ring/brooch), all shaped like keys.
Walter: Complete survival kit with potions, status removers, water bottles, matches and duct tape. Lots of duct tape.
Atsuro: Decently-sized Golurk-shaped jar which resists falls and can be locked shut.
Riku: Two copies of TM 27 Return, because you can’t go wrong with that move.
Sora: Small animatronic Torterra that can walk around and move its head slightly.


ASH
Kayneth: Thick volume about the history of breeding, with plenty of old historical anecdotes and discoveries.
Blake: First season of the Columboldore tv films, with a note that says ‘They kept going for nine more, if you find it good.’
Aradia: Whole series of Spindiana Jones DVD, collectors’ edition, complete with explorer’s hat.
Faize: Local astronomy encyclopedia, completely with the name origins for every constellation.
Cheria: Nice set of hairties themed after Water-types, plus a little pair of Staryu- and Starmie-shaped jeweled broochs.
Atsuro: Warm jacket with high collar, perfect when flying on a windy day.

If I'm missing anyone, please let me know!
