1. Post your characters, name and series in the subject, along with any preferences
2. RNG yourself a number between 1-15 and tag others.
3. Feel free to include pics/links or you can even write the notes that go with their gifts!

{ tie it up in a pretty little bow }

1. 'Tis The Season!
→ It's some holiday or another, and you don't want to be the one who breaks tradition by not giving a gift.

2. Happy Birthday!
→ Another year older! Is it their sweet sixteenth? The no-holds-barred-finally-legal 21? Or that stately eighty candles that might set the cake on fire...

3. Sweet Valentine
→ Not that you need a commercialized excuse to butter up your sweetheart, but if the heart-decorated chocolate truffle fits...

4. Anniversary
→ You didn't forget ~~this year~~! But seeing as how it only comes once a year, you'd better make it fantastic ~~or you'll be sleeping on the couch... again :(~~

5. Wedding Bells
→ It's the bride and groom's happiest day and you want to give them something to commemorate this momentous occasion!

6. Housewarming
→ Those new neighbors of yours are still getting settled. Why not give them something to welcome them to the neighborhood?

7. What Bribery?
→ It never hurts to get on someone's good side, right? Especially if they could make your life miserable if they don't like you...

8. Get Well Soon!
→ Someone's stuck in the hospital and you just know that a gift will put a smile back on their face.

9. Going Away
→ They have to leave and you can't go with them, but you'll wait until they return. Give them something to remind them of you while they're far away.

10. I Miss You!
Has it been a week? A year? However long they've been away, you want them to know you're still thinking of them.

11. I'm So Sorry
→ You've screwed up big time and apologies just don't feel good enough, but you'll give them a token of your sincerity.

12. You're Appreciated!
→ There's just no one else like that person! You know everything they've done for you and others and you to show your appreciation.

13. Glorious Victory!
→ Hail the conquering hero! It doesn't matter if they've run a marathon or usurped a kingdom, this calls for mighty spoils!

14. Secret Admirer~
→ You haven't quite worked up the courage to give them something in person, and hopefully they don't recognize your handwriting...

15. Wildcard
→ Anything else, go crazy with it.

[Okay, sure, getting some sweets and store bought stuff is cool and all. But when it comes to things like this? It's all gotta be about the heart you've put into your presents-- besides homecooked sweets are the best kind of sweets. Although these particular sweets are in a rather odd shape, but they are made with milk chocolate, dipped in swiss chocolate, laced with cocoa powder, drizzled in chocolate syrup, sprinkled with chocolate chips and all while stuffed in a nice, fluffy filling... of white chocolate.

Okay, maybe a bit overkill, but it's all or nothing when it comes to dealing with awkward confessions!! So yeah, there will be something waiting just for you with your things inside a neat, clear box for you Stocking! Oh, its along with some corny love confession that goes with it. Clearly this is the best plan ever to remain as an anonymous admirer--]

... wait. Oh man, I don't even know if I remembered if I didn't sign my name with the card or not.

[You know what is best about games that Nippon Ichi tends to have a hand in? There is usually some meta action going on that can be pretty light hearted! So cue one former protagonist offering a small box gift to ya, Flonne.]

Yo Flonne! Off going back to your game now that your cameo has been finished in mine, huh? Well here, got you a little something on the trip back. It's not much, but I figured you liked it after talking to some of the prinnies before they marched out with Etna and her present.

lol the day the extra icons expire /sob

[OTA for gen, girls only for romance.]

((info here.))

Thela didn't miss people, at least, that was what she'd always told herself, Users came and went, that was the way of things when you were a Program who'd been written before there was even a machine to run you.

Besides that, she'd only met him once, she wasn't sure if you could miss someone you'd only met once. But he'd kept her busy, complex, compound translations that had taken the better part of a month.

What she sent to the email address he'd used for correspondence along with the simple note of: "I don't know if you remember me, but I thought you might find this useful. The L. A." was a small data packet, installable on any number of handheld devices, an algorithm in fact, to translate written languages. A universal, if somewhat limited, translator.

It must be pretty important if they're stomping their feet like so, hopin' to get you back there right quick. Even the Bluecoats get more warning when they've gotta up and ride out.
