Entry 1: Wrapped Up
Name: Wrapped Up
Personality: Wrapped is, unsurprisingly, all about presentation. He prides himself on not having a hair out of place. And if it is, it's entirely on purpose, darling. He expects appreciation for the work he puts in (and the work he doesn't) and anything less than a 1:1 ratio is a slight on his honor. That who giveth can taketh away...
Also predictably, he runs a souvenior shop in Phony City. He loves to shill the gift-wrapping option on literally everything.
His gift for someone he doesn't know at all: A Christmas cracker! Always beautiful to look at, and has such a satisfying pop when it opens... And for such a small package it comes with so much! A crown, to feel like a Christmas monarch, and a toy of some sort. Small, cheap, but the novelty of it goes for miles. And if you don't like it? It's small enough to choke on. Cheers!

Entry 2: Truly Presentable
Name: Truly Presentable
Personality: Generous, somewhat naive, benevolent.  Wears his emotions on his... everywhere.
His gift for someone he doesn't know at all: A vase with a single flowering stem!  Something cheerful without being too gaudy that can be used all year round

Entry 3: Gracious Garland
Name: Gracious Garland
Personality: Garland is generous to all, and that includes himself. The spirit of giving is strong in him but he also adores being preened and pampered in return for his efforts. He makes sure to always look and act presentable, so that his mere presence can be a gift to everyone around him, but make no mistake – his charity is genuine. Garland doesn't have a resentful or jealous bone in his body, he lives in the moment and forgets personal slights as quickly as they come, preferring to celebrate everyone and everything. Joy comes to him through the simple act of sharing, whether that be his time, energy, or possessions; gifts can come in all forms and he is eager to share them all.
His gift for someone he doesn't know at all: A wonderfully large square box, wrapped and bowed to match his personal aesthetic. Inside that box is another box, smaller but with similar flair. Inside of that, another box. And another. Smaller and smaller until one is small enough to fit just in the center of your hand (or hoof). Within that box, of course, is a Phony Bux gift card, because what better present could there be for a potential new friend than a small adventure that ends with the promise of greater opportunity?

Entry 4: Part and Parcel
Name: Part and Parcel
Personality: Parcel is a bright and cheerful fellow who loves bringing joy and smiles to all, new and old. His motto is that is simply 'part'n'parcel for him to deliver cheer to all!' and he aims to let nothing stand in his way. He shines particularly during the holidays, as any kind of festivity he can get his hooves (or bows) on is simply "the best", though if you ask him, Phonyland Christmas is "the best of the best!"
His gift for someone he doesn't know at all: A (usually holiday themed) gift basket, filled with anything and everything a phony could dream of drinking or eating. He of course, makes baskets age appropriate or even family friendly and every basket or giftbox comes stamped with his own personal logo.

Entry 5: Jolly Holidays
Name: Jolly Holidays
Personality: Holidays is a cheery individual who loves giving presents. He enjoys the art of wrapping gifts in the most extravagant way possible. Then he likes to give them away to everyone, even the unsuspecting, and watch them unwrap his masterpieces. His favorite time of year is well...holidays of course! All the more reason to give out gifts. And the joyous look on  everyone's faces when they receive something they love, make it all the more worthwhile.
His gift for someone he doesn't know at all: A gift bag full of colorful, scented soaps, bubble bath, and maybe a decorative candle or two. I mean, everybody likes to smell good right? And who doesn't love a relaxing bubble bath now and again. The bag would be bright and festive, and covered in ribbons and bows. It would have a sparkly name tag with a catchy greeting and a wish for many more happy years to come. And the inside of the bag would have lots and lots of tissue paper to dig through until the giftee finally reaches the contents! The wondrous, smelly soaps, and candles!

Entry 6: Full Package
Name: [ Full Package ]
Personality: [ Oh, yes, he's got it all: the looks, the money, the...that's about it, actually. But that's really all you need in order to keep your dance card full, and his always is. His talents include an impeccable sense of style and the ability to know just what to say to convey that he totally understands all your problems and sympathizes with you for them...even when he really, really doesn't. ]
His gift for someone he doesn't know at all:

This classy brown envelope with its gold embossed lettering screams luxury. It contains (click image) a heavy piece of paper with the most valuable gift of all: a personal message penned by Full Package himself, and autographed in his signature gold ink. Enfolded within is a card: a marker of VIP status at his very exclusive establishment (Club 33 could never.)

Presenting your new card at the door means you'll be led to a seat in a booth overlooking the club's floor, accompanied by Phonyland's finest host himself: Full Package. Tonight, your champagne tower is on the house, and you're entitled to an entire night of uninterrupted time with a Carousel phony who is here for you all the way. The entire roster of staff will endeavor to ensure you feel like you're getting the full package, but honestly, your night's already been made the moment you set foot into the room. What better present could there be than a date with Full Package, after all?

Note: underage patrons will instead receive a tower of sparkling cider and an entire day of free rides in Full Package's saddle. Terms and conditions apply.

Entry 7: Souvenir
Name: Swag Souvenir
Personality: He just really - really wants you to like him!  Souvenir is kind and big-hearted, but can be overbearing about it.  He tends to overshare or give too much just to leave a good impression, or something to remember him by.  Souvenir struggles with anything long term, but is excellent at short term solutions, such as stress shopping, treat yo self, and little chachka baubles that will give you that little buoy of instant gratification.
His gift for someone he doesn't know at all: One free voucher for friendship!  You want to be his friend, right?  Here's a guaranteed ticket!  Redeemable whenever!  Any time!  Any place!  ...please!

Entry 8: Trendy Twist
Name: Trendy Twist
Personality: Trendy Twist likes to be stylish and is a bit of a fashion chameleon following fashion blogs and trends, and is never seen out in public without his hair not done! Being a graduate of phony school knowing how to sew makes him extremely helpful with paying attention to detail no matter how big or small! This phony owns a sincere heart and believes that nophony should go home empty handed during the holidays. Everyphony should at least get a gift or two. At least he thinks it so.
His gift for someone he doesn't know at all: His perfect gift for others are string bow ties~ in all colours and fabrics: polka dots, strips, solids, checkered, plaid, rainbow, animal prints, flora, baby rattles, you name it and he has already made a whoooole bunch ready to gift them all away! Any gender phony big or small can wear one around their necks or tied around their beautiful manes or tails! Suited for any occasion! He has been sewing all his life and giving a gift in counts of two (as in two string bow ties neatly placed on soft polar fleece and wrapped inside a clear box) provides variety!
(and for those phonies as bold and fashion frenzic as him can wear many bows and still look just as fabulous like himself!)
