[poisontippedcure]

Zhongli is getting cufflinks with pressed lilacs. In the package there is a note:

Even if the rest of the world forgets, our loved ones stay in our heart forever. Cherish the memories.

Also, there’s a bottle of wine.

[whiteshroud]

Unfortunately, he can't really directly give Zhongli a gift on Christmas because SOME GOD is the jealous type. But he did give a gift to both Xiao and Zhongli, and Zhongli will also give a christmas card from Jun.

There is no money in this card.

[gotbadblood]

Velvet is giving Zhongli a batch of chocolate coins wrapped in gold tinfoil.

For Zhongli's Christmas present, Dan Heng is giving him a little sweater that's perfect for when he's Scarfli. It has a Geo symbol on the chest.

For Zhongli's birthday present, he's getting three framed pictures. One is of Dan Heng and Zhongli recently, the second is of his sister, and the third is Dan Heng's parents and grandparents. The note that comes with it says:

You're still part of this family, even if you've been erased from our family tree. My family wanted to send these as a gift from all of us after I told them about you. They hope to meet you for New Year's over a call.

[noblerise]

Zhongli is 100% going to meet his mom and uncle, and get treated to his uncle's food. No, Zhongli cannot escape because only part of his family that Jusis talks to is a gift. He's also going to get a set of dragon-shaped, copper cufflinks.

But there's another gift, too, that's for Zhongli's birthday. A full, hand-crafted, celadon tea set from a highly specific region of China complete with a certificate of authenticity. There's a handwritten note from Jusis that says:

You've been as a father to me since April, and I wanted you to know that I have always deeply appreciated that. In a way, I wish I had known you better earlier. I think I would have been less lonely and less likely to continue to chase what my father never wanted to give me. While I may not have had a choice in blood relations, I have that choice now, and I would choose you if you are okay with that. May you never be chained again. Happy birthday.

Other than the enchanted item, Zhongli is also getting a jade bead bracelet for Christmas from Venti. He knows they're a symbol of protection, especially when handed down through the family, but he'll give a little speech about how he hopes these will protect Zhongli when he's not there to do so himself. Zhongli will also get a little music box that plays one of the songs Venti wrote for Zhongli specifically.

[majeste]

Zhongli will receive a book, wrapped up carefully and adorned with a blue ribbon, the book is clearly made by hand, and inside are all the stories that Zhongli told her of Azhdaha, immortalized on paper with small drawings for each one. Alongside the book is a small box with a charm braclet inside, adorned with only two charms currently; a jade and a scroll. Lastly, there is a piece of paper rolled up detailing a work-in-progress song, giving it a glance it appears to be about the lamentations of a person slowly being eroded by time and their wish for joy and continued happiness to bless their loved ones once they are gone. Attached to all of this is a note;

"It may be many many years before time begins to chip away at your memory, Morax. However, should that time ever come you now have the same stories you told me to keep you. The song is still a work in progress, even so, I want you to see it. I am hoping, should things progress nicely, to perform it on a stage once it is complete."

[throwmoreswords]

How do you tell someone that you disappeared because you'd be a liability without having to confront your own weakness honestly in front of them?

idk but anyway Gilgamesh will send a beautifully put together box over, no wrapping paper, just a nice custom box with a card on the top. A pair of golden fans are tucked inside.

The card reads 'To my favorite orator of fact and fiction alike; may the stories of the past be ones that you can look to with a fond eye, and may the tales you've yet to weave be overwhelmed with joy. -G'

[bebest]

He gets a scarf Zulius crocheted himself and a glass dragon paperweight.

[sardinelover]

Zhongli will be receiving a single, incredibly fresh sardine properly sealed to maintain said freshness, lovingly wrapped along with a charming little card.

[medicgunner]

Zhongli will be getting tins of oolong and pu-erh tea from Eunie. But also a protective cover for the book Azhdaha was sealed in. There's also a card.

You're a real pain in the arse sometimes, you know that? But I still look at you like my Granddad. I never knew what it was like having one, or any family really. It feels like I have one with you and the whole team. I know you always got my back, and it makes me less scared all the time of that guy coming around and hurting anyone else I know.

Thank you, Zhongli. Here's to our apprenticeship at POKEGO.

[droptheious]

He will receive some baked treats for his pokemon and a leather-bound notepad and pen.

[twofoldfury]

From Diarmuid, Zhongli will find a blank, sturdy notebook with a gingko leaf imprinted onto it along with a calligraphy pen. Inside the notebook is a signed card with a pressed zinnia flower that reads as follows:

Your tale as Zhongli deserves as much as any to be recorded and passed down. That the world might remember you as a man, not a god. Allow your script to begin anew, carry Azhdaha's memory within it and immortalize the new ones you make with your friends and your family. Of truimph, of sadness, of grief and of joy.

[sg09r]

despite Leon's own general view of tea as basically just leaf water, he gets Zhongli a very expensive brick of Pu-erh tea, and a novelty mug.

[infezione]

Patrizio is giving Zhongli a pair of phone-friendly leather gloves and an insulated travel mug with a built-in infuser. The travel mug is black, with the Geo symbol painted on it in gold! (He may have painted the symbol on himself.)

There's also a note: Thank you for all of your stories, support, and guidance. I hope you'll continue to share these with me in the future, but for now, here's to our freedom and the future we'll be able to create for ourselves.
- Patrizio

There is also a tin of Christmas cookies!

[fiddlestick]

Since he's one of Jusis's coworkers (or formerly was), Elliot will send Zhongli a bag of christmas cookies and a christmas card.

...He will also pull some strings and get Zhongli a set of concert tickets to the orchestra, so he can surprise Venti. JUSIS INSISTED THEY WERE FAMILY SO HE SHOULD AT LEAST TRY.

[kowase]

Alongside a bottle of fine Mijiu wine, Zhongli will recieve a certain Jade Bowl that has been in Vergil's collection for quite some time. An item that Zhongli surely would recognise.

There's also a letter attached:

While I would not presume to put the weight of the world on any one man's shoulders, I believe yours are ones that, while strong as stone, do not need the extra weathering.

And yet, I find myself unable to do much else but apologise for what extra weight I may add by countlessly finding myself uplifted by said shoulders.

While you look no older than I do, your bearing as a person is inspiring to a level I cannot put into words.
My own father should learn from you; what it means to actually be a father.

Warm regards,
Vergil Vittore.

Attached to the letter is a phone number and an account number for a local fine dining Chinese restaurant. A small note is made that Zhongli will be allowed to put all expenses for a future wedding's catering needs on the attached account.

[eiternity]

From Ei, Zhongli will be getting a subscription to the tea of the month club.

She's trying.

[lowestclass]

From Jinwoo, Zhongli will recieve a bottle of fine Soju, as well as a bottle of properly sealed home-made kimchi.
Attached, he will find a card, and inside sits a gift card for one of those specialty tea shops.

"Thank you, harabeoji, for being the wind in my sails--and the hope that helps me think clearer about what comes tomorrow."
