White Elephant Game!

Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

White Elephant Game!

White Elephant Game!

 

Here's how this will work: 

 

1. Under an alias, post a description of the wrappings of an imaginary gift by December 4th.

 

3. After December 4th, we will choose gifts in the order of description posted, so it will start with me.

 

4. When someone has chosen your gift, reply to them revealing what it is. It could be something real, such as a poem or drawing, or something imaginary, like a puppy or a jar of stardust. Also, reveal your identity

 

5. Once you receive your gift, respond with a thank-you! That's only polite! :) 

 

RULES: 

 

- Post your gift description by December 4th

 

- Post under an alias, not your CBer name.  

 

- Wrap your gift creatively!

 

- Don't reveal your own identity until someone claims your gift. If the gift you choose turns out to be a picturing or something else that requires your CBer identity, you can make an exception. 

 

- Remember to post!

 

- Have fun!

My gift is rectangular and thin, and wrapped in an interwoven tapestry of dark green leaves. It is tied with brown string, and a bright orange wildflower is slipped underneath the twine.

My gift is in a small, square box wrapped in midnight blue silk decorated with silver constellations.  A shimmering silver ribbon is tied around it.  The box is suprisingly heavy, warm to the touch, and if you listen closely you can hear soft sounds coming from inside it.

Hey everyone! It's December 5th, so we can start exchanging gifts now! :D 

Since I posted first, I'll choose the first gift. I think I'll go with...Luna's!

After Luna gives me their gift and reveals themselves, Sugarplum will choose the next gift, then Darina, and so on.

Hi Partridge! I'm Luna, also known as Raven. My gift is... a drawing of any character of your choice! I can't say how soon I'll be able to have it done, but I'll try my best to get it fast. 

For my gift, I'll choose... Donum! (Just because your name is so awesome)

Oops, I'm sorry, I thought the person whose gift was chosen got to pick the next one. Disregard that, apologies!

Ahh that's such an awesome gift idea! Can I have a drawing of either Catra or Entrapta from She-Ra, whichever you'd prefer to draw! :D

@Lupine: I guess you could sumbit a gift, but we'd know who you are. If you're fine with that, go right ahead. :)

Here you go! I'm in a bit of a style crisis right now as well as never having watched the show or Catra's lore, but I hope you like it!

Sorry this is so late, but wow! I love it so much, Raven! It looks just like her, but in your style which is really cool. The square in the background is a great addition and helps center it. Thank you so much! :D

My gift is a Rudolph plushie that plays the song and a teddy bear holding a bag of peppermints. I choose Sugarplum's gift

My gift is what appears to be a small crystal statue of a dragon until it opens its eyes and looks happily up at you.  This little dragon is a familiar, a magical creature that can be your companion and friend!

I choose Aisling's gift!
