With one stipulation, he had to come back! Mrs. H gave Elliot a hand knitted scarf that was every bit as fine as something one would find in a fancy boutique. Elliot gave Mrs. H a years’ subscription to her favorite audiobooks service, along with a gift card for her favorite teas and cakes shop. She too was given the all-expense paid holiday. Elliot gave Mandy so many different things that one could hardly list them all. There were clothing and gift cards to all her favorite shops. Every book in her favorite series had been wrapped up and signed by the author. Mandy felt overwhelmed by the outpouring of love.

"You should be embarrassed to call that a gift! I've never ever seen such a cheap gift in my life!" She kept waving the book in her hand as she spoke. "Cheap? I gave you a practice book to help you increase your knowledge. Isn't that a good thing? Don't you know that knowledge is the most precious wealth there is? It's so much better than those useless bags and shoes you have." Francine gritted her teeth and scoffed. "I wouldn't be this p*ssed if you didn't give me a practice book meant for elementary school kids!" "Well… I was kinda worried you wouldn't be able to do the practice question if I gave you any higher than that."

"I know it's not much compared to everything you've done, but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate all of you." Danika grabbed her bag first, pulling out the tissue paper to reveal a limited edition designer handbag she had been eyeing for months but claimed was too impractical to actually purchase. "Chelley, no!" she gasped. "This is too expensive!" "You're worth it," I replied simply. Luther opened his gift next, finding a vintage watch. "Mrs. Hunt, you shouldn't have." he smiled, clearly touched. Dorian was last, unwrapping a first edition book from his favorite author that I had tracked down through a rare book dealer.

"Hannah, look—so innocent yet alluring. It's perfect for me, isn't it?" I had gifted it to her because she loved it. My hands shook as I picked up the delicate, nearly transparent cloth. My throat closed up, and my head spun. The doubt I'd buried deep inside finally broke free. Confusion and pain crashed over me. Before I could even think, the violent sound of colliding cars split the air. Then, blackness swallowed me whole.

"Okay, look. This is a small affair and your mom went to a lot of trouble. If you smile and behave, I won't withhold your gift." His eyes narrowed. "Are you my present? Naked in my bed with a giant bow? Otherwise, it might not be worth it." Gah, this man. She reached in the backseat and snatched the package holding his custom-made book. Inside were pictures of people he'd helped with his charity, along with personalized signed notes thanking him. She held up the blue-wrapped box with a green bow. He glanced at the gift, then her. "You won't fit in there."

Some gifted her clothes, creams for her delicate skin, and, of course, her favorite strawberry cookies. For my part, I gave her a beautiful necklace I had seen in a lovely store a few days ago. The boys, not settling for much, gave her what she truly needed: Ryan gave her materials for university, the twins a Superman shirt they'd probably never take off, Paul a CD with his thunderous rock music, and Carl a photography book. Lauren received makeup and clothing to cover her skin more, Katia got accessories she'd use at least once a year, Blake a special camping kit for whenever he fancied going, and Brooke got a pile of romance books, as she adored them.

I said. " Don't think so much, accept them with a sweet thank you. Someone must have made a lot of effort to find suitable gifts for you without any help. At least appreciate the efforts. " Chris said. I wanted to argue but Aunt Sophie shook my head and signaled me to open them. I did open the first one. I was surprised when I removed the wrapping paper, it was a book, a book?? Really? I gasped when I saw it was, PANTONE VIEW Home + Interiors 2024 book.

I even called my assistant at one point. “What kind of gifts do children like?” There was silence on the line. Then: “What exactly are you planning sir?” “Nothing.” Another pause. “You sound stressed.” “I’m not.” “You are literally calling me at midnight asking about children’s gifts.” Fair point. Eventually I settled on books. Beautiful hardcover books about space, inventions, oceans, puzzles, machines, and random scientific things children could obsess over for weeks. Then chocolates. Expensive handmade chocolate because apparently my brain had temporarily stopped functioning properly.
