She has 7 kids. I think we can all guess what she does to relax.
Sleep. I think she takes a solid afternoon nap to sleep the stress away. We should make her a masterwork bed.
We set her up on malcoffee. She now actually has free time at night. Probably for the first time in years. I am tempted to get her a free spa visit for a spa that caters to supernaturals / works at night, and probably a paid vacation (costs AP to hold down the fort, but might be doable), but just giving her something to relax at night when most children are asleep is already a good idea.
- Cooking, baking in particular
- HEMA broadly, she prefers a hammer
- Embroidery
- Blacksmithing and more modern armor making
I am
so tempted to try and get Charity to make a leap to cosplay. She'd make a terrific sister of battle. Like, that's basically three of her hobbies in one, if you squint.
We should make her a hammer that is always the right hammer for the task she has at hand, regardless of if that is a carpentry hammer, blacksmith's hammer, or warhammer.
Oh, I like that

I don't like my Daniel's idea all that much - I am basing it off the fact that he kept the rulebooks we brought when talking with him about power.
@DragonParadox is he into tabletop games? Maybe get him (or Leech, for that matter) a simple 3D printer (from the courts)? That's a creative tool that they might enjoy, and if Daniel or anyone else plays tabletop games, that's a huge experience enhancer. Hell, maybe get one for Harry? Something simple, nothing fancy.
I am drawing a blank on Isabela and Thomas. I am also holding back from pranking Odin with decorations for Santa's sleigh.
All suggestions welcome. Let's nail this.
EDIT1: Changed Daniel from "A set of tabletop games for Daniel that can be played with as few as two people, so he can play with Lydia." to martial arts fiction from the Courts.
EDIT2: Changed Lydia from "A videogame system and a collection of games for Lydia, with cooperative games to play together with Daniel" to morphing shoes.
EDIT3: Added a spa day for isabela.
EDIT4: Added wine for Mab and Maeve, and a set of decorations for Santa's sleigh for Odin.
EDIT5: Changed Harry's present from a set of high-tech court-style home appliances to a magic focus that mitigates techbane and is more suited for delicate work.
Changed Daniel's present to a car.
Added sending Mab's and Maeve's presents via a courier.
