changehistory[ooc: To be given out Christmas Day, but posting now so I don't get frantic and miss it come the actual holiday when we're all doing stuff with the family. :-D]
Peter
He's booked them a week at the Peaks Resort in Telluride, CO, figuring they could use the time away, but he'll give him that one privately, not in front of Nathan (he does have some tact!). Spa time is included, because Peter needs to relax.
There might be as assortment of new...toys and oils and such in the bedroom to be found later, as well. But those are also most definitely not under the tree. See how discreet he's being!!
On Sylar's suggestion there are canvas knives. For his canvases. For his precognition. If Adam has other ideas how they can be used, he isn't saying aloud.
Under the tree, there's an assortment of gift certificates to Peter's favorite restaurants, and some of the bath stuff he loves. He pays attention, really. He even attaches a note explaining why the seemingly less personal gifts after a year together?
Peter,
There's more waiting for later--but I didn't want to make things awkward with Nathan here.
Love you,
Adam
Claire
Claire has a small package in which there are a set of keys. Should she want to know what they are for, she can wander to the window and below she will see her shiny new scooter parked.
There's also a gift certificate for a full day at the Ohm Spa, with her choice of their premium services. After what she's been through, she needs some pampering.
Claire,
I am so grateful to have you in my life, and to be able to spend this time with you. I look forward to many more Christmases.
Love,
Adam
Baileigh
Baileigh also gets a a gift certificate for a full day at the Ohm Spa, with her choice of their premium services, to join Claire. She helped rescue her, after all, and is putting up with New York. She should be pampered.
Shoes she wanted. He takes wishlists seriously.
Baileigh,
I hope these can at least partially make up for you having to stay in New York and endure my holiday craziness. I'm glad to have had you here.
Love,
Adam
Nathan
Because indulging the recovering alcoholic is always a good idea? Adam gets Nathan a bottle of Dalmore 50 Year old Decanter / Dark Sherry. Trying to buy love, what?
Nathan,
This was bottled in 1978 into just sixty decanters, after being laid down in the 1920s. Some of it is rumored to have even been distilled in the late 19th century. It's one of the best 50 year-old whiskies ever produced and my personal favorite. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
Adam
Bennet
Bennet gets a bottle of 1943 Vieux Château Certan, a Bordeaux, which comes from one of the oldest Pomerol estates (and is going to make Sark whimper, btw).
Bennet,
I had an occasion to pick this up shortly after a little battle on the on the coast of Normandy in June of 1944. I've never opened it, obviously, always thinking I'd keep it for someone or something special. I'd like you to have it.
Merry Christmas,
Adam
Hiro
He's not quite sure how to top last year's gift of all those comic books he sort of collected for him through the years. Possibly he should have parceled them out, all things considered? That was a lot of 1st prints and such, but. Right. In the end, he takes a trip to Montreal, rummaging through some of his old things, because, really--that's what he'd collected for Hiro for decades and now, well. Right. There's the banner, though, and he decides on that. The Kensei banner. And since Hiro was more the hero Kensei than he was, he brings it back, wrapped for him to have.
He might also have reserved him and Claire a weekend in Vermont at a ski resort, but he will not be giving him that in front of her fathers, and it makes him twitchy anyway, so. Not thinking about that.
Carp,
You were more Kensei than I was, in the end. The hero where I failed. You saved Japan, and you saved the princess, and it's only right that you should have the banner that should have flown to mark that victory. It's somehow managed to stay in reasonable shape--I did my best to preserve it. Keep it safe.
Merry Christmas,
Kensei
Sark
This is really for Sark and Baileigh both, but--there are two first class tickets to Orlando, Florida, and the Disney Magic Your Way Platinum Package, including a week booked at Disney Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa (thinking Sark might like the Victorian architecture and fountains and Baileigh the spa), their full park-hopping tickets, golf package, wine & dine packages, tickets to the Cirque du Soleil show. He basically did every upgrade on the full week package.
Sark also gets a bottle of that damn wine he's always on about.
Puppy,
Have fun learning to be a kid, and take your lady somewhere warm. That's an order.
Adam
Mohinder & Sylar
Yup, problem with being a couple and being hard to buy for--you get lumped together. See, Baileigh and Sark had easy lists that let him differentiate! Adam needs lists. Though Mohinder has a sweater or two under the tree. Adam can shop, really. And Sylar has a few books Adam thinks he might like--stuff he read while locked up that kept him amused. Older things, mostly, and probably not really well known, but enjoyable enough on a cold winter night. There's also several of those little hot chocolate packages--like the gourmet ones, with matching mugs. No, seriously. He's not kidding. What? It's cute!
Then there's an envelope and inside are two first class plane tickets to Martinique with a 4 day/5 night stay booked at Buccaneer's Creek - A Club Med resort.
Sylar & Mohinder,
I thought you both could use somewhere warm to go, or at least Mohinder could, and Sylar could break in that new passport. Besides, I might have buried some gold on that island somewhere at one point, and you could spend some time hunting for it. And when you get back and we really get our own company going...well. I'm sure we'll have need for a geneticist. So, consider this a job offer.
Adam.
