himeko inaba ♡ kokoro connect

[dereban]

[spacialeyes]

Inaba is receiving a neatly wrapped box with lavender paper and a pink ribbon. Inside there are actually two gifts: The larger gift being the set of kitchen knives that he had promised to make her. They are engraved with her name in… Well, that’s Kanji alright. But Yuuto’s poor penmanship is on display again, despite what looks to have been a great effort on his part.

Under the display box for the knives is an envelope, with a card and five ‘coupons’ for YuuDash. The card shows a star map (drawn to reflect the day they met, as best his nerd self could redraw,) and has a short message inside:

”To the friend who taught me to love this world and led me home.

No matter where you go, I pray that you’ll never feel lost or alone. May your journey be safe and filled with many, many reasons to smile. You’ll always have been one of mine.

Not a second goes by when you aren’t loved.

Thank you for everything.

- Yumeno, Yuutou”

There’s a smaller box tucked between a layer of purple fabric, with the words “RYOKO DONT LOOK PLEASE” written in silver ink. Inside the box is a silver pocket watch. The face of the interior has a purple galaxy theme and the exterior is engraved with stars. The names of a few of the friends she has mentioned (now including Ryoko,) are carved into the inside of the lid.

What the hell does someone even get a kami.

He decides on a simple bonsai plant. Something cute to take care of in her spare time!!

[spacialeyes]

Don’t take this the wrong way, but-

Yor is receiving an Instant Pot and a recipe book called “Easy Instant Pot Recicpes: Anyone Can Do It!!”

mafuyu asahina ♪ project sekai: colorful stage

[applehearted]

[spacialeyes]

Mafuyu will be receiving a pair of elegant white gloves, set in a fancy black box. When she goes to try the gloves on, she’ll find a flashdrive with a music file on it: It has a recording of an original violin piece (about 60 seconds,) and a digital copy of the melody’s sheet music.

The music piece is slow and has a lot of room to breath, with a clock ticking loudly to mark the beat.

ushio kofune / summertime rendering

[shellrender]

[preparade]

[ Merry Christmas, Ushio! Taiga's managed to acquire one of those festival masks of a cutesy anime girl, except... it's made out of a sturdy resin material instead of the plastic that you'd typically find. There's also a box of fancy chocolates with a note.

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!

This gift also includes one (1) gourmet, home cooked meal of your choice, from the Asakura kitchen!
I didn't tell her, but if she puts up a fuss just start crying.

From, Taiga ]

kaguya shinomiya / kaguya-sama

[lunarcycles]

[taketori]

This being their first Christmas together in a new place, he still couldn't help but panic over what to even get Kaguya. Really, coming up with something seemed to be nearly impossible considering the last time felt... off.

When he calms down though, he's got two ideas-- and he goes with both of them. The first being a photography set. Figuring, she may want to continue down that road, even away from university. A pretty fancy looking camera, and a tripod with film and etc. The rest is something they can research together.

The second thing is a fancy nameplate for their current home. It reads both of their surnames in kanji! It's temporary, but it's to show that this is their home together for the time being.

eiko / original character

[rulesof]

Rika Furude | Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni

[miiraculous]

[popsometags]

A black cat plushie.

There's no real significance, don't even look for it, really,

[priceofmagic]

Re: Samantha Fletcher | OC

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

[Rita Mordio appreciates being allowed in on the Poker enough to offer an on-theme gift... No, not more decks of cards, but rather a set of a few hundred proper clay chips in a sturdy case.

For all her talk of not having a lot of time for hobbies, she clearly gets what matters for this sort of thing.]

Yuuto Yumeno | NPC

[spacialeyes]

[dereban]

[ the gift that Yuuto gets is a book--it seems to be handmade print. the cover itself is lavender, with the cover being in gold cursive font that says the word Memories.

what ties the book together is a sky blue ribbon.

when he opens it up, the paper inside is thick and well crafted. it's all typed up in proper print.

however, there is another thing that comes with this gift, and that is a small ipod looking device. if he presses the button on it, it'll turn on and show the title of the book MEMORIES in small pixel font before showing a table of contents that he can click to. surprise, it's an audio book that goes with your... well, custom made book! if he plays the audio, everything will be narrated by Inaba herself.

the preface is centered, and the opening line he sees is this:

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

For you, a gift.

A remembrance.

Of months to show your existence.

if he keeps turning the pages, he'll find himself reading what seems to be a children's picture book. but not just any children's picture book. the art in the book is very similar to this and each page seems to depict every single memory of the two of them together, with no exceptions. happy, sad, angry. all of it.

when he reaches the end, he'll find another message:

This, however, is not the end of the journey. It is simply the beginning. Where it will go, nobody knows, exactly.

But I believe that this tale will have a happy ending.

One that can be shaped by your choices, one that you can carve a mark on. So believe in yourself, too.

- Inaba Himeko

it's signed both in English and in Japanese.

but there seems to be yet another page still... so if he turns the page, he'll find that there is something else here. it's labeled as "The Yuuto Mocktail" and seems to have the recipe for a galaxy lemonade slushie underneath. ]

Gus l Sweet Tooth (Netflix)

[fulgent]

[aupologizes]

[ given his penchant for sweets, Hanyuu has decided to make something special for him! in a nice tin box, he'll find a bunch of handmade macarons in the shape of cute little animals.

along with this is a note:

Merry Christmas!
I made these myself, so I hope you enjoy them. This is my first time making macarons, so I hope they taste okay. If they don't, please let me know and I'll make something even better.
- Hanyuu ]

Oz Vessalius l Pandora Hearts

[satisfice]

Bonus. It's his birthday this month as well. Double presents time!

rinne rokudo | kyoukai no rinne

[popsometags]

[aupologizes]

[ attached to this is a rather simple card

Thank you so much for your hard work this year!
This isn't much, but I hope that you'll use it.

and he gets a handknitted hat and gloves, both in a signature red that matches the scarf that she got for him last month! there's also some starling in this present. go use it for something nice, Rinne, mom's giving you some bonus allowance. ]

ryuunosuke fujinami | urusei yatsura

[sarashi]

[mothornly]

[ from your new fighting teacher, Ryuunosuke gets a completely black karate gi.

now you may be wondering: why black?

it's so that nobody will notice when you get the blood of your enemies on you. not. that she's stating that in any shape or form.

this gift also comes with a bar of soap and laundry detergent.

To my student:
I hope that this will be useful for your future endeavors!
- Yor ]

twilight | spy x family

[fauxther]

[mothornly]

[ it is clear that Yor worked very hard on getting something nice, although the execution is... Definitely Something.

he gets a bouquet of roses with a note attached:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm glad I married you
Are you glad you married me, too?

there's also a card, separate from this, which says:

Merry Christmas!
This is our first Christmas together, isn't it?
I hope you enjoy your gifts!
I've only ever given gifts for Yuri, so I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I may have gotten overboard.
If you'd like to, sometime...
And you think it's okay...
Perhaps we should go out on a date to the amusement park sometime?

Only if you want to, of course!

-Yor

and there's another large box with various other things: a bunch of socks, a watch, belts, bars of soap, several plain white t-shirts that are a bit oversized, a plain black notebook, a pen to go with the notebook, a foot warmer, wine glasses, a white noise machine, a kombucha brewing kit, a couple of razors, a knife, some colognes...

why did she get so much stuff.

there is one more gift which will be coming to the house as well, which is a massage chair... he deserves it. ]

ryoko asakura | disappearance of nagato yuki-chan (crau)

[loveedition]

[dereban]

[ Ryoko is getting an entire kitchen set delivered to her place. they're pots, pans, and even knives in her signature blue color, with every single handle having her name etched onto them.

there's a letter attached to this.

I wasn't entirely sure what to get you for Christmas, but I hope this will do.
Let me know if there's any issues with anything; you get the Inaba Warranty™ for up to 365 days. ]

miyuki shirogane | kaguya-sama

[taketori]

[lunarcycles]

[ his gift comes in a letter, written in rather neat script:

To my ever kind boyfriend,
Since you gave me quite the gift during our last Christmas, I thought that I should match it.

- Shinomiya Kaguya

P.S: There is a second gift, but that will have to wait until tonight.

it took her a lot of effort to write this... she got so embarrassed... she was going to initially refer to him in this letter as 'president' but then realized they all graduated and then her second option was 'Shirogane-san' but that would be weird since they're DATING, but she couldn't just. write Miyuki!!! THAT CAN'T BE HER FIRST TIME REFERRING TO HIM LIKE THAT. HAVING THAT HAPPEN IN A CARD????? AWFUL

anyway, it's a daruma otoshi toy. he got her a kendama last christmas, it's only fair.

and yes, she does have a second gift but that will have to Wait™️. ]

Kanade Yoisaki | Project Sekai

[composalvation]

[popsometags]

Kanade's getting that metronome! Engraved, a message.

"Music can save the world if it can save your friends."

taiga aisaka | toradora! (crau)

[preparade]

[loveedition]

At the party, Taiga's going to get her present! It took some doing, but she found something fairly cute and fitting for the season!

Along with a Christmas card.

"Starsand's Christmas Angel needs a dress to match.

Merry Christmas.
-Ryoko"

There's a second present, but that'll have to wait a bit.

Kokoro Belmont | Otomedius

[stavros]

[the only thing on her list is "to not feel guilty about having fun in another world" so good luck]

[shellrender]

[ godspeed, indeed. because Ushio thinks that Kokoro needs to have more fun, what she ends up gifting Kokoro... a video game console, specifically a Switch.

however, she can't just go without games.

no.

which is why the games attached to this are the following: Animal Crossing, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and everyone's favorite... Minecraft.

there's also a simple note attached to this:

I know yer've been strugglin' ta have fun, so I got ya something that you can have fun with! Both by yerself and with others!

Let me know if ya wanna play sometime, 'kay?

- Ushio ]

Velda Egan | OC (Arcanology)

[fallmushrooms]

Re: Velda Egan | OC (Arcanology)

[aupologizes]

[ for Velda, she gets a hand knitted hat in green and black. it kind of looks like a witch's hat!

Merry Christmas!
Thank you for all the hard work this year. I put a little bit of my power in this hat, so there should be some minor protection. I hope you like it.
- Hanyuu ]

Rita Mordio | Tales of Vesperia

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

[Rita will be surprised if she gets anything, honestly...]

[stavros]

[Of course Rita's getting something, what do you take her for. Kokoro gives her... a snow shovel and a bucket of sand. Not as fancy as other gifts, but something very practical this time of year, at least.]

Pidonus Marasia | OC

[marshmallowpurgatory]

[Pidonus Marasia intends to give more than she receives!]

[aupologizes]

[ attached with this gift is a rather simple card.

Thank you for all your hard work this year!
This isn't much, but please take it. I hope you can use it.

and she gets a tea pot and mug; if she looks inside, there's even text engraved that says Music that will warm your heart. packed with this is a tea set that is meant to be good for singers--ginger tea, chamomile, licorice root, peppermint, green tea. ]

Akutagawa Ryunosuke | Bungo Stray Dogs

[unquestioned_loyalty]

[loveedition]

Akutagawa was surprisingly easy to shop for, in a way!

He gets a package with three items: a bronzed candelabra, an antique clock, and a ship in a bottle kit.

She. Has no idea if the last thing is up his alley or not, but it's old-timey enough?

Ceto Dealtry | OC

[cottoncandydisaster]

[loveedition]

Ceto's getting a sewing set! A bunch of needles and yarn and patterns... in addition to a little sketchbook! In the corner of the first page, there's a little drawing!
