That's The Givingstide Rock~

For the purpose of making gift ideas easier and organized for everyone with how busy we'll likely all be for the holidays. This is pretty much the same idea as Haley's absolutely adorable IC gift exchange, except that it's OOC and general holiday gift giving.
Have fun, ya'll, and whatever you celebrate in real life — may your holiday be warm, festive, and full of happiness! ♥

Grace Holloway
Owing to her absence, Grace is a little hard-up for extra cash. However, certain people find modest bags of candy in the mail, with attached notes in elegant cursive wishing them a happy holiday season:
After some internal struggle, she also sent one to Radar O’Reilly.
She leaves another bag near the woods for Elsie.
After more contemplation, she buys hairpins with pretty paste jewels, and sends them to Zivia Birnbaum and Mettaton.

For Sephiroth:
- A basket of different dried meats for his Eevees
- An aquamarine amulet
For Father Mulcahy:
- A bronze amulet of Udjat Eye
- Two perfume vials: One of Lavender, one of Frankincense. (Can be used as incense as well since they're oil based!)
For Papyrus:
- A simple red wool cloak (he wasn't sure if skeletons get cold)
- A small bronze Ankh amulet
Mettaton
- A bouquet of red and pink flowers
- A pair of big, puffy, red mittens with a matching red scarf

For Tenna:

- Statue/Toy of a Snail
For Melanie King and Phil Connors:

Radar O'Reilly
Happy Givingstide!
Papyrus
- A decorative wreath that could be hung on a front door, except it's made of different metal wires, all woven in and out to cover the sharp ends inside, and a large pink bow on bottom.
- A bone like he used to gift to Undyne, but the ribbon on it is also bright pink, matching the one on the wreath.
For Namu:
- A combination thank you / apology card, thanking Namu for the great job offer in the same paragraph as apologizing that, after their live interview and the circumstances of the offer changing so much, he will not be formally accepting it. (He simply has too many ambitions of his own to stick solely to bodyguarding anyone full time). But, it continues in a larger post script, if things heat up again, he'd be happy to do so on a short term basis!
- A violet scarf of a reasonably thick material - (the better to protect one's neck against various threats?)
- Also, a slightly yellowed bone with a lavender ribbon in a bow around it.
For Cassandra:
- As part of the gift exchange, a painting of a view unavailable underground, a knitted doily, and a slightly yellowed bone with a white ribbon in a bow around it.
For everyone else he's interacted with since arrival, PCs and NPCs alike:
- A small card with a quick painting of a snowman on the cover, inside wishing them a happy Gyftmas
- A bone each, with ribbons of colors that fit something about them - whatever outfit they were wearing when they met, or something.
Father Mulcahy
Those he's closest with—Gaeta, Zivia, Fever, Margaret, Radar, and Lev & Anzu—will have gotten something extra particular to them fulfilling some kind of need that shows he's been paying attention to them and their conversations.
