{ 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.

[He holds the phone down by the cage to let Tony listen to the guinea pig's excited squealing for a moment before putting it to his ear again.] He says hi.

It's supposed to be an oblique reference to shutting you up to make you even more anxious for me to come home. Will it work?

[ Mini!Tony sounds like he needs to mind his language, whoa. Settle down, cutie. ]

It looks more like the little statue's trying not to hurl chunks after going on a Friday night bender.

Damn. I might have to stay a few more weeks while I go back to the drawing board on that.

If you're not back in a week I'm coming to get you. In the suit.

That's tempting. It would teach SHIELD to think twice about dragging me off like this. But I'd really need video of Fury's response to round it out.

I think it's safe to say he'd turn up on our doorstep less than an hour after we got back.

He'd ignore the Do Not Disturb tag on the door handle, too. [Little Tony is burbling happily now, sitting in Bruce's lap with some fresh greens]

I'll try to be home in a week, but that's all on Little Tony's shoulders now. Put your nauseated statuette wherever.

[ Bruce knows how to treat each and every Tony right, mmhmm. All the swag a guinea pig can give is his. ]

He's rude, is why. No respect for personal space. [ The sound of stairs being thumped up by quick feet carries over the line. ] I'm putting Screamer in the bedroom so he can be appropriately scandalized.
