REMEMBER: IN POKEMON WORLD, SANTA IS REAL

→ Comment with your character, adding a list of what they are giving to others (if anything!)
→ Go look through the lists to see what yours are getting (HINT: Ctrl+F to search your char's name!)

Thank you again, random nice(...?) stone-talker guide lady.

[belphe]

YOU ARE WELCOME LOUD, ANGRY VIKING MAN. (she likes to help out in her own backhanded way....she did this to someone else her first stay here too XD Sent him an Onix hidden in the bottom of a care package of food and it scared the crap out of him when it sprang out)

[snotfaced]

...Gible are thankfully much smaller.

[dressofheaven]

From Twilight Sparkle:

To Applejack: An enormous bottle of the best hard cider Twilight could find, and a TM 53 (Energy Ball).

To Spike: A bracelet made of leather with several semiprecious stones inlaid on it and one big amethyst in the middle. The same color as Rarity's hair. Also a TM 05 (Roar).
To Cadence: A big old box of chocolate, a flowerpot with a cutting from a Venusaur in it (not AJ's Venusaur), and a TM 45 (Attract).

To Xion: A silver bracelet with a pair of black and white opals in the middle.
To Riku: A set of Christmas sheet music, all for the fancier, less common songs.
To Sora: A tin full of extremely sticky taffy. The stuff that practically sticks your mouth shut while you eat it.
To Lancer: A set of guides to Pokemon obedience training.
To Archer: A book about ancient Pokemon-based weapons. Swords made of Kabutops blades and such.
To The Breeding Centre: A bag full of Olivine-based candies (mostly sweet/salty combinations like saltwater taffy) for everyone.

[timidnature]

Latvia is still getting used to the whole Pokémon thing so his gifts are extremely non-Pokémon for the most part.

For France he's hopefully getting a red knitted scarf commissioned.
He's getting another knitted item for Akira Ijyuin, this time a blue hat.
For Bertholt Fubar he'll send a small care package once he arrives in Violet city, filled with sweets and non-perishable localities.
And finally for Harry Mason he'll send a leather bound notebook with a note thanking him for all the advice he gave when Latvia first arrived scribbled in the front (that is, if he ever finds out where to send it).

DING DING DING 100%

Your prize is a fun fact: for years I had the vague idea that Bridge on the River Kwai was a romance, because I had it mixed up with The Bridges of Madison County.

[freshprints]

Fun fact in return: The only thing I knew about Bridge on the River Kwai prior to a quick Wiki is that it was preceded by "Chou En-Lai" and followed by "Lebanon, Charles de Gaulle, California baseball, Starkweather homicide, children of Thalidomide."

...

Buddy Holly, Ben-Hur, Space Monkey, Mafia, Hula Hoops, Castro, Edsel is a no-go, U2, Syngman Rhee, payola and Kennedy, Chubby Checker, Psycho, BELGIANS IN THE CONGO...

[lieutenantantichrist]

I will have that song in my head all day now and I am okay with that.

[eagletalons]

Hope's been working on more homemade gifts, so he's been dabbling in metalworking for months. Mostly weapons but he's made trinkets for you guys. All unpainted because Hope does not know how to paint.

LIGHTNING gets a replica of her Eidolith, with a small round piece of a Fire Stone in the center to offset all that unpainted steel.

VANILLE gets a replica of her Eidolith.

MAKA (yes you) gets a replica of the Cascade badge plus a box for those badges. Because Hope already got his own Cascade badge.

SORA gets one of those quote/handstamped bracelets that says "LOOKING FOR A DATE". No really.

RIKU gets a joke item in the form of one of those quote/handstamped bracelets that says "LOOKING FOR A DATE". But! The real gift is a rough replica of his keyblade sans keychain, with a small round piece of a Water Stone as the "eye". He remembers that thing from the Nightmare Castle.

"ALICE"/PARKER gets small button pin-sized replicas of a gingerbread man, peppermints, gumdrops, a star, a chimney, fairylights and a snowflake. Doesn't that sound familiar?

CECIL gets a small TM pendant. With the tiny numbers 26 stamped on it.

BREEDING CENTRE EMPLOYEES each get an egg-sized... well, steel egg. The top opens up to reveal candy and chocolate for themselves and treats for their Pokémon. The egg can also be recycled for other things after all the treats are gone.

[crackpotcrocker]

Awwww, Crocker is going to love his first Christmas present that isn't from Santa that is coal :3

Denzel isn't leaving the Rocket base in Goldenrod anytime soon.

[crackpotcrocker]

Denzel is totally going to treasure the tin of cookies and lucky charm :3

[diamondo]

FROM MONDO OOWADA
KIYOTAKA ISHIMARU gets a Crazy Diamonds jacket! The jacket itself is store-bought, but the embroidery was done by Mondo! It might be a bit big since Mondo has no idea what size you are, whoops.
MAKOTO NAEGI gets a nice photo album to keep all those pictures he's taking. He also gets TM32 - Double Team!
LEON KUWATA is getting guitar sheet music (at a beginner level, thankfully) and TM34 - Swagger!
YASUHIRO HAGAKURE is getting TM16 - Light Screen and TM33 - Reflect because Mondo can see these being useful moves.
KYOUKO KIRIGIRI gets a set of TMs because Mondo has no idea what to get her: TM13 - Ice Beam, TM24 - Thunderbolt, and TM35 - Flamethrower!
BYAKUYA TOGAMI is getting TM27 - Return. Because let's be real, any excuse to get Togami to be nice to his Pokémon is a good excuse. Also he's getting a present from an anonymous person, a very nice sewing kit! Look he warmed up to you a bit after that conversation okay.
CELESTIA LUDENBERG gets a simple necklace with a small Star Piece as the center and TM45 - Attract. He might hate you but he's not going to be a dick during the holidays, okay.
CHIAKI NANAMI is getting a Growlithe egg! Everyone needs adorable fluffy puppies, right?
"ALICE WHITE" / PARKER is getting a Crazy Diamonds jacket like Ishimaru! This one is actually a women's coat, so hopefully it'll fit?? He'll also be asking her if he can call her "aneki" because this is very important to him, okay.
RUDE is getting TM06 - Toxic! He's really not sure what else to get for you, man.
SHAUN MARS gets books on self-defense! Mondo's made sure they're not going to be too difficult to read!
EVERYONE MONDO'S EVER HAD A POSITIVE CONVERSATION WITH is getting a bag of holiday-themed cookies! They're mostly sugar cookies with a few other kinds thrown in there. Everyone is also getting a card that probably has way too much glitter on it. Sorry.

FROM FRANK ARCHER
SOLF J KIMBLEE is getting a custom-made silver pocket watch! It looks identical to a State Alchemist's pocket watch because you're his State Alchemist. >:| It comes with a very tsun card as well.
ENVY gets a set of very nice notebooks and pens because Archer doesn't know how to give gifts that other people will like.
COBRA is getting an Abra egg and notes on Psychic-type Pokémon! They're neatly written notes but there are a lot of them; they detail how to get your Psychic Pokémon to set up surveillance and brainwash people! Look, he's trying to get you to fail a little less, buddy.
CARMEN SANDIEGO gets a card that acknowledges her existence. That's it.

If I've forgotten anyone, please let me know!

[usedswift]

Tenten has only recently figured out this Christmas nonsense in the gift-giving sense, so all her presents are less holiday-themed and more practical.

Applejack will be getting TM17 Protect and TM32 Double Team, along with a note thanking her for being her friend, as well as a reminder that they've got to keep getting stronger and keep battling each other.

Atsuro will be getting TM06 Toxic and TM30 Teleport, as well as a note reminding him that as her rival, he'd better not get complacent!

Blake will be getting a Moon Stone for his Munna

Dave will be getting TM49 Fury Cutter and TM75 Swords Dance because reasons

John gets a tiny little scarf for Phoebe. Most fashionable Whimsicott! And a box of chocolates shaped like Delibird (because she couldn't find ghost-shaped ones at this time of year :T). And a big ugly blue hat to keep his head warm. And a thank-you card about how she's really glad to have a friend like him, and a reminder that if he needs anything at all ever, she's there.

Kushina will be getting TM18 Rain Dance for her Gyarados

Minato will be getting a nice set of kitchen knives. Any dulling that occurs from not using them as directed is not her fault. :T

Naruto will be getting TM89 U-turn and TM04 Whirlwind. Perfect for the #1 Unpredictable Rookie 8T

Neji will be getting a knitted white scarf (and a hat for Meditite), made by Masato, as well as five Ultra Balls. >:T Get on catching stuff already!

Obito will get five escape ropes and TM30 Teleport. Try to get stuck in a cave now!

Rainbow Dash will be getting TM40 Aerial Ace. Because hey, even if she can't soar through the air right now, at least she can ride a Pokémon that can!

Ramza will be getting TM40, Aerial Ace. Because razorbirds!

Ren will be getting a very sincere thank-you note all about how supportive he is, and to take care of himself, and basically just to say thank you for being one of her best friends. He'll also be getting TM17 Protect.

Shiraishi will be getting a full set of health items (two Antidotes, two Paralyze Heals, two Awakenings, two Burn Heals, two Ice Heals, and four Potions) and a map with a big X drawn through Ilex. 8T don't go back there, bro. EDIT: also TM30 Teleport

Yumi will be getting TM89 U-turn, since it's one of Tenten's favorites, as well as two Rage Candy Bars and a Super Rod

Shiraishi & Ren

[saxsongs]

Shiraishi

Each and everyone of his CR, those who have talked to him and they know each other by name, will get an egg voucher which guarantees them one free egg from any of Shiraishi's egg patches. Can be used anytime at all. There will also be some hand-made cookies for trainers and Pokémon both with a card saying thank you for this year.

If you're not sure about whether your character is getting one or not, just ask me :3

Ren

To all the female CR he has (every girl he knows by name, oh boy. not including TR CR ): girly accessories with something that reminds him of the person. If you want a specific detail/a picture, just ask. Otherwise I'm just going to let you decide. There's also a free ticket to an upcoming concert (date not decided).

To all male CR he has (every guy he knows by name. not including TR CR): everyone gets a tie with a color that reminds him of the person. If you want to know the color, just ask. There's also a free ticket to an upcoming concert (date not decided).

As a bonus: Utau, Haruka, Hijirikawa, Natsuki, Amu, Tenten, Crow, Lightning and Aradia are getting a song, written by him. It can be played with the Pokégear and it's sort of a like a "thank you" song.

As a triple bonus: Utau is getting an eternity a week full of romantic things and a locket with a place to put a picture in.


Also all his TR CR (minus Utau) will get an anonymous gift of coal :|

John's gift list

[ghostytrainer]

Everyone John has spoken to on a regular-enough basis to at least know their names and be on good terms with will be getting a bag of made-from-scratch baked goods. It includes gingerbread people, sugar cookies with festive sprinkles, double chocolate chunk cookies, and a candy cane. Note: the Dangan House will, instead, get a giant tin full of the same baked goods (as well as some hand-made fudge and chocolates from Rose) to be shared amongst everyone that lives there. Yes, even those of you that he's never actually talked to. He didn't want to be a jackass and only send things to the ones he does know when you all live in a house together. Naegi, he's counting on you to make sure that everyone shares these. Don't let him down, bro.

The following people will additionally recieve...

Rose Lalonde: an electric violin
Dave Strider: This hat and a pair of gearrings (yes, he knows you only got one ear pierced but that's not how earrings work, shut up. now you have an extra if you lose one. Also, he's going to be upset if you don't wear that hat.)
Jade Harley: A Growlithe plush, a few berry pots, and a dog-ear headband (yes, he's a little shit, thank you for noticing)
Dirk Strider: A Jolteon-themed winter set (includes gloves, a scarf, and a pair of earmuffs that wraps around the BACK of the head so as not to mess up Dirk's silly anime hair)
Aradia Megido: A Whimsicott winter hat (yes, with horns and everything. you're going to have to imagine what this looks like because nobody's thought to make one apparently) and an adorably punny shirt
Kanaya Maryam: A small assortment of vampire movies (There's a pretty decent Pokémon Dracula adaption in there, but the rest of them are kind of that corny sort of terrible that you mostly get to laugh at, including the entire "Moonlight Saga") and a necklace
Tenten: Kill Marill vols. 1 & 2 (despite the title, it actually has nothing to do with killing Marills, it's just Kill Bill with Pokémon) and a simple, woven bracelet with a single charm (also he gave her extra chocolate cookies because 8( losing the boyfran)
Luke Triton: A Teddiursa scoodie (basically this only...you know. Teddiursa.)
Jack Skellington: A cookbook full of ~haunted~ recipes, some of which have been edited by John for better taste/shortcuts/etc. There are even two scribbled in the back that John seems to have come up with himself. (and a squeaky Purrloin chew toy for One, what a good doggy)
Cecil Harvey: A Grimer stress ball. But not just any stress ball! The kind where the eyes pop out when you squeeze it. (he thought it was funny, okay...)
Shaun Mars: a Golett egg (it's one of Giant's children this information was totally relevant)
Maka Albarn: A fairly thick book full of all the lore and legends of Johto and Kanto
Yusuke Urameshi: A black beanie with Duskull's skull on the front and two bones across the back.
Riku and Sora: A Rock 'em Sock 'em Hitmons game. (Because this is the sort of corny thing that two best bros need to play together)
Makoto Naegi: A Togepi eggshell-patterned scarf
Kyouko Kirigiri: Okay so you know those longcat scarves? Imagine that only 100x cooler because it's Espeon.
Kiyotaka Ishimaru: A scarf patterned after Ho-oh's plumage

And this isn't a really a present (more like the opposite, really) but for everyone staying at John and Rose's house this month: you will find no shortage of red peppermint candy canes and green spearmint candy canes lying around the house and hanging from the tree and shit. However, be careful! About half of these candy canes are not what they appear to be. PRANKING MASTER STRIKES AGAIN.

About halfway through the month (the 12th or so), he also made an absolutely ridiculous gingerbread village that took up the entire dining room table. Because Egberts don't half ass this holiday shit. Everyone is, of course encouraged, to come help decorate because like hell is John going to do it all by himself. Eating it is also encouraged. Highly encouraged, even. You don't have to eat a whole cookie if you don't want to. Just nibble off GingerSteve's legs if you're not that hungry. Blame it on GingerRebecca, she always looked like the sort to turn to cookie cannibalism. Let's see how much we can make this cheerful scene turn into a disaster zone by the end of the month. Hopefully nobody is coming to visit for the holidays...

I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT FAIZE IS DOING YET, SO I MIGHT POST HIS LATER DEPENDING ON IF HE DECIDES TO GET ANYBODY ANYTHING.

Lightning Farron's List

[soggypastry]

Hope: This jacket and a refresh to any parts/metals she knows he's low on. Also a bottle of the strongest safe for human consumption drink she could find.
Vanille: This dress + This cardigan. Also the TM for Return. (For Lucy/Fang)
Cecil: The strongest safe for human consumption drink she could find, plus a survival kit(dried meat/medical supplies/a good map of the regions/a water bottle+purification tablets)
Riku: a 15000p Giftcard to the Celadon City Department Store + a survival knife made from a Skarmory Feather (Sheathe included)
Sora: a 15000P Giftcard to the Celadon City Department Store + a survival knife made from a Skarmory Feather. (it comes with a sheathe and a note of "don't play around with this")
Xion: This bracelet + a survival knife made from a Skarmory Feather (Sheathe included)

All PGC Members get a pack of TMs (Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt) and a note that says "stay alert", which may be dropped off by either a very squawky Skarmory or a very silent Rufflet, to the member's preference! Enjoy the surprise drop, anyone who chooses Nix.

[soundmind]

kya senpai noticed her

[shslasshat]

In descending order of thoughtfulness...

Togami isn't getting much into the spirit of the holiday. However, everyone in Dangan House will find a separate plate of Ginger Vanilla cookies left out for people to take from as they please, that he may or may not have made while having an awkward bonding moment with Oowada the other day.

They'll also find three small items slipped into their shoes on Christmas Eve (putting Sho's Shadow Sneak to good use, there):

Celes: Dire Hit, Guard Spec, TM30 - Teleport
Kirigiri: Dire Hit, Guard Spec, TM43 - Detect
Hagakure: Dire Hit, Guard Spec, TM04 - Whirlwind
Kuwata: Dire Hit, Guard Spec, TM05 - Roar
Ishimaru: Dire Hit, Guard Spec, TM75 - Swords Dance
Oowada: Dire Hit, Guard Spec, TM45 - Attract
and Naegi gets Dire Hit, Guard Spec, and TM39 - Swift and TM27 - Return

He'll also make his own Christmas cake in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve. If anyone asks, he'll deny all knowledge.

But he's the only one with a French upbringing in the house who would make a Buche de Noel, so there's that.



Jin doesn't know what Christmas is but when he finds out he's going to just go nuts at the breeding centre for gifts.

Yusuke gets a Tyrogue egg and a Mankey egg. :|b have fun, buddy
Kuwabara gets an Abra egg and a Shroomish egg.
Killua gets a Reaper Cloth because you got a lot of pokemon, bro.
Oowada gets an Aerodactyl egg because Jin hasn't forgotten that incident.
Keiko gets a Togepi egg and a Shiny Stone.
Botan gets a Cleffa egg and a Moon Stone.
GIRLS LIKE CUTE THINGS AND BABIES, RIGHT. says the grown-ass demon who carries around a level 90 Smoochum like it's an actual child


Shaun Mars is ALL OVER CHRISTMAS. THIS IS HIS JAM. He is 11 years old and he is ready as heck for this.

Everyone he's ever talked to gets a Christmas card with glitter and pawprints from his pokemon, and a little bag full of poke-treats. Even you, Blake.

Additionally!
Miss Carmen gets a pad of sticky notes that all together is shaped like an apple, as well as a complete set of the one-time use Ability Up items (Dire Hit, Guard Spec, X Accuracy, X Special, X Attack, X Defense, and X Speed)
John gets a magic kit and an electric buzzer, as well as a complete set of the one-time use Ability Up items.
Heather gets an Absol Flippez hat with the big black blade as the part that moves when you squeeze the pump in the earflap, as well as a complete set of the one-time use Ability Up items.
Mr. Mason gets a cute Octillery pen and a set of Amomomolskine notebooks.
Yusuke gets an inflatable punching bag and a small gift card to use for Pokegear games, as well as a complete set of the one-time use Ability Up items.
Oowada gets a Bike Voucher worth P1000 (if he already has a bike, it can also be redeemed for parts to upgrade said bike) and a set of the kind of martial arts b-movies you can find in a grocery store for like ten bucks...with pokemon. Also a complete set of the one-time use Ability Up items.
Ishimaru gets books on legendary myths (including the entire Persian Jackson series, a YA series about a Persian who's the offspring of Arceus and his friends who are all descended from other Legendaries, but there are some...less fictionalized books in there too), as well as a complete set of the one-time use Ability Up items.
Miss Nanami gets a gift card to spend on Pokegear games, a Buneary egg and a Pichu egg, as well as a complete set of the one-time use Ability Up items.
Aradia gets the complete IndiAbra Jones movies starring Harrison Forretress (including the modern sequel with Shia LaBouffalant, which Shaun enjoyed but is objectively not as good as the originals) for digital download to her Pokegear, and a Marill Flipeez hat (it's a hat with a tail that bobs when you squeeze a pump in the earflap) as well as a complete set of the one-time use Ability Up items.
Botan gets a set of Evolutionary Stones (Water, Fire, Thunder, Leaf), and a Ralts egg.
Blake gets a digital download of Karrablastabrava, which he heard is an old movie for old people.

Applejack

[buckyouup]

This holiday stuff is still kind of weird to Applejack. She has no idea if this Santa Claus person is real or not, but she's not taking any chances. Also being the traditional farm girl that she is, she's making apple foodstuffs for everyone.

In no particular order:

Twilight Sparkle: A traditional apple pie, and two books - "A Theory on Unique Pokemon Evolutions" by Professor Elm, and "The Crafting of the Universe - Legendary Pokemon and Their Place in Our World" by Professor Rowan. More privately, she'll be receiving a dawn stone in a gold necklace shaped to her cutie mark.
Rainbow Dash: Two large jugs of Apple Family Cider, as well as a new pair of Running Shoes.
Princess Cadence: Apple spice cake, with a guide book - "Maximizing Your Poke-Potential with Breeding!"
Spike: Cinnamon-apple cake pops and a purple and green fleece blanket.
Riku: Apple strudel, an orange speed punching bag featuring Applejack's grinning (pony) face, and TM 66 Payback, as a playful reminder that she beat him in the Martial Arts Tournament.
Naruto: Caramel apples, an orange speed punching bag featuring Applejack's (pony) face sticking her tongue out, and TM 04 Whirlwind as a reminder of their rivalry.
Tenten: A bottle of hard apple cider, and a pair of boxing gloves with a note challenging her to a spar whenever she wants.
Heather: A jug of fresh Apple Family Cider, and a large orange quilt with a fur trim.
Yumi: Apple pie, a box full of six super potions, revives, and ultra balls, as well as a note promising to pay for any egg she wants from the Breeding Center.
Xion: Apple cake pops, a blue fleece blanket and TM 24 Thunderbolt.
Ilya: Apple cake pops, a white fleece blanket and a Rhyperior saddle (at the insistence of a certain Zoroark).
Crow: Apple pie, two sacks of bird seed, and an orange fleece blanket sporting the image of a large rooster.

Gifts from Dist and Hagakure!

[ortion]

Here's a link to the lists because it's a lot of text haha.

The lists contain:

Gifts from Dist to: Kato, Aradia, Kayneth, the TR science department, and everyone he's on speaking terms with.

Gifts from Hagakure to: Naegi, Kirigiri, Leon, Mondo, Ishimaru, Togami, Celes, Nanami, Parker/Alice, Crocker, and Botan.

Re: Gifts from Dist and Hagakure!

[timelymaid]

pass to the museum, wow that is probably going to be her favorite most used present ever.

[styxiedust]

Yes. It's absolutely true, girls like all cute things. Excellent touch with getting her something paaaiiink.

[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.)
