just because: you were just thinking of them and got them something.

interested: what better way to ask somebody out on a date than presenting them with collateral?

courtship: you're old-fashioned - or from an old-fashioned society - and to pursue someone, you have to present them with a gift to make your intentions known.

serious: be it an engagement present or something else, you want your special someone to realize that you want to take things to the next level.

ownership: the present's twofold; it also shows everyone else that this person is yours.

apologize: oh. you've really, really screwed up. can you make it up to them?

special occasion: ordinary gifts won't do for a birthday, anniversary, or wedding.

homemade: this is no purchased trinket. you made it with your own two hands.

priceless: the item you give came at great cost, is an heirloom, or previously owned by someone you love.

gag gift: ...hopefully they won't kill you.

gift gone wrong: or be killed, maimed, or deeply offended by your gift.

[Anything Evie gives you, regardless of the occasion, is going to be handmade, and probably clothing or accessory related. Possibly a baked good. Gifts for her? She'll politely accept pretty much anything.]

[ Not super interested in 11 unless it's something silly, but otherwise everything is fair game! ]

[ For gifts, she's pretty liberal with anything she can scarf up at the nearest gas station knickknack corner - basically wherever they imprison the tacky tourist moneysinks - for the laughs; for serious, she'll try to get something in your wheelhouse (and probably fail spectacularly). Maybe a cool rock or gem she finds, something from a thrift store that reminds her of you, or if she really digs you, a CD or cassette tape of an artist you either like or she thinks you need to hear.

Receiving: ...hm, anything not too frilly would be well-received? Frilly could very well be appreciated, too, if given in the right context. Regardless, she'll be flustered to the point of mild embarrassment at the sentiment and try to play it off. ]
