Giftmas!

With Christmas scooting ever closer, it's time to start thinking about the real reason for the season and that is gifts. Yes, yes, joy to all, peace on earth etc etc, but deep down what we all want to do is tear some wrapping paper off boxes and be dazzled by the contents.
In order to keep things a bit organised, we'll be putting this up as a central gift-giving post, and it will feature three things.
★★ Arceus' gift ★★ Secret Santa ★★ Your gifts |
Now with that all out of the way, let us take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and for those that don't celebrate, just kind of a Cool Weekend.
As mods, we'd like to thank you all for all your effort and joy, for every badge you've submitted, every prom that was ruined, and just all the various crimes committed by our dedicated (and some not so) rockets. A new year approaches, and with it, new opportunities, new plots and CR, but hopefully still and forever, the same amount of fun!
Once more, A Happy Christmas, a delightful Saturday, and a wonderful 2022.
Secret Santa
For Kiri
- One (1) beginner’s lock picking set. Cause it is never too early to start building valuable skills. There are some see-through locks for practising with and a short, how-to guide.
- A crocheted pidove keychain.
- A big bag of gummy caterpies.
For Senjuro
Jumped the gun a smidge and posted here already, but Allura got Senjuro an inflatable mat for his sleeping bag. She remembers how uncomfortable it was camping the first few days with just the sleeping bag, and that was before it started snowing, so hopefully this'll help him stay a little comfier.
For Jaskier
For Fluttershy
The blanket is cushioning a Pokemon egg, and with it a note:
From the picture your card, I assume you like bugs as much as I do...particularly butterflies. So, I bred an egg for you from one of my butterfly Pokemon. It is a Pokemon called Vivillon, which comes in dozens of different patterns. The pattern inside this egg is the Ocean Pattern.
For Shadowmaru
- An hand-knitted Accelgor plushie? Wearing glasses? It was a bit lumpy, but she'd done her best. She'd only made people dolls before. And it was a ninja that needed to look at things?
- A box of raisin cookies.]
For Yuzu Hiiragi
For Shinobu Tsukuyomi
Which probably means it wasn't cheap but that's not important here.For Cassandra
Azrael the ditto tried her best to explain, she promises.
Sandalphon’s gift includes a pretty large thermos meant for food, as well as some candy canes and peppermint bark. It’s all neatly wrapped in a cellophane bag with a bow on the top.
For Lance
I got this egg for you because the breeder said that it would be a Mudbray. I hope you two become great friends!

Fluttershy bought the egg from Kiri at the Christmas market, so it will have the moves Mud Slap and Rock smash when it hatches. It will also have the Hidden Ability, Inner Focus.
For Greg Universe
- A small tin of fruit-flavored hard candies shaped vaguely like various berries
- A box of Pokémon-shaped crackers
- A bag of Gummy Beartics
- A package of lightly-flavored mixed seeds and nuts
- A modest-size package of peppermint bark
For Captain Ash
Since his giftee left their card blank, Izuku tried to go in a relatively safe route as far as gift giving goes. He wanted it to be nice and nothing cheap and generic though, he did his best! Ash will receive-
-A box of pokemon shaped christmas cookies
-A knit winter scarf with a pattern of winter coat deerling
-A pair of fur-lined gloves that match the color scheme of the scarf
-A box of fancy donuts from Mille's Bakery with frosting depicting various pokeball patterns
For Vinegar Doppio
Presumably though, that Wobuffet has a trainer... but regardless this is also all the information she has.
- A box of donuts from Mille's Bakery... and another box of Poffins. Both have blue frosting depicting that of a Wobuffet.
- A bouncy blue ball with a face depicting that of a Wobuffet.
This is what happens when you let your Pokemon sign you up for these things.
For Riz
meep morpart.She went shopping for a ton of small figurines of Pokemon at toy stores, all canine or feline ones, and these have been heavy-duty glued to a piece of cardboard to spell out Riz's name. As is the case on the card she received, the "z" in Riz is inverted.
For Angel
The winter solstice marks the shortest day,
with the promise of more light on the way.
There is an enchantment, a powerful source,
that keeps the wheel of nature on course.
Embrace the winter, so magic and cool,
And may you have a most blessed Yule!
~Your Secret Santa
no subject
Hopefully his identity as a wolf isn't something he's sensitive about. Otherwise Angel is going to feel real weird about it.
For Steven Durante
- A super soft and super warm blanket, the coziest blanket you will likely ever find. It features a cute Mimikyu print along the bottom edge.
- A book of ghost stories and the spookier variety of legends curated from around Johto, Kanto, and other known regions as well.
- A box of round sugar cookies, courtesy of a certain Yamask. They're iced to look like the full moon on a clear night. (So, like, a circle of white icing surrounded by a circle of dark blueish-purple icing sprinkled with tiny bits of sugar.)
(An attempt at spooky was made.)
for Hawks
For Sandalphon
Shoto has no clue who on God's green Earth this is, but it's not going to stop him:
- His gear number, which isn't the present he's not that vain. It's to do with the note that says they can pick any egg from the MooMoo Farm and Shoto will pay for it, whatever the price ends up being. If the egg needs to be sent over somewhere if they're too far, Shoto will handle that as well through his Talonflame and Mimikyu. If they've already gone to the Farm, he'll be glad to foot the bill for any available egg from any breeder selling that they want.
- TM Iron Tail from Olivine City for future use at their discretion.
- Seasonal TM Metronome for future use at their discretion.
- An assortment of chocolates in a basket in varying levels of chocolate from white to dark, orange to mint. Mostly in shapes of pokemon.
- A Mimikyu Plushie with a Santa Hat that dances when someone walks by it.
For Rainer
-a Cubone kigurumi. It looks a little goofy in the proportions, as it's likely on the cheaper end of design quality, but nonetheless it is very soft and warm!
-a set of three small, Litwick themed pillar candles, two regular color and one shiny. They are marshmallow scented. Maybe they were on discount after Halloween?
-a box of assorted flavor instant hot cocoa. A few each of plain, marshmallow, and peppermint.
A note accompanies the parcel, naturally.
Your artwork is lovely!
I'm very sorry that I could not afford higher quality gifts. Still, I hope these keep you warm on your candle nights.
Senjuro Rengoku
For Thace
For Allura
- A silver circlet with a Water Gem embedded in it; as a result, she can either wear it herself or let one of her Pokemon wear it to boost their Water moves
- A Shinx egg, bred from Alexandre (Felix's Luxray) and Failnaught (his Raichu), with the following moves: Leer, Tackle, Double Team, Light Screen, Thunder, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt
- A note written in what's maybe surprisingly elegant handwriting that reads:
Allura,
I'm told that in your world, you possess a circlet something like this one that comes from your home. The egg is a Shinx egg; if you haven't yet seen the species, they are blue lions. As a Blue Lion myself, it seemed an appropriate addition.
-Felix
For Erina
-A box of storebought shortbread cookies, dipped in chocolate like this.
-A scarf with snowflake patterns on it. Also storebought.
For Shrike
- A hat, scarf and gloves
- there's also a box of these treats. One layer for humans, one layer for pokemon
- A gift card for the Celedon Department Store
For Peridot
- A pumice stone, you know, for self-care
- Charcoal body scrub ... look, he tried, charcoal looks like a rock.
- last, but not least, a hard stone
... sorry, Peridot. He tried.
