For Moiraine: A small bowl of enameled copper, blue with a stylised white flame at the bottom. A few very small imperfections don't ruin the effect, but show that it's handmade.
For Jane: A set of felt-tipped calligraphy pens and a blank book, with a watercolor of a moored fishing boat on the cover.
For Peter: Two hard-backed books on Celtic mythology, with a note tucked into one: "Peter Airgedlamh -- It's not all accurate, of course, but there is truth in some anyway, and good stories no matter what. Your friend, Will Stanton."
For Liz: A small box containing a matched set of a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen, in dark blue and gold.
For Morpheus: A box of dark wood with a pattern of black ravens stained on it, perching in a crowd on the top and flying in raised relief around the sides, and a single raven in midflight stained on the bottom of the inside.
For Meg: A book about the history of ballet, with pictures and black-and-white photographs
For Snow White and family: A single-volume collection of several Dr. Seuss books
For Cordelia: A pair of decorative combs, with small garnets and gold beads, again handmade.
For David: A small smooth piece of pale rowan, shaped and rounded like a worry-stone, with a spray of holly carved on one side and a hole bored through the top for a thong. A note is included: "Both holly and rowan (the wood) are trees of the Light, and in them there is a protection against the Dark."
