Shopping was definitely a hobby of Savannah's, and that wasn't exclusive to just herself, either. While she definitely didn't need the excuse to have to specifically shop for someone else, the Malnati's secret Santa arrangement was a fun little thing all the same. The whole thing was, she was planning to buy something nice for Kennedy for Christmas anyway, but having pulled him for secret Santa made the whole thing a lot more fun and exciting. Plus, that just meant he'd probably end up with double the gifts from her because she couldn't help herself.
Books weren't really something she was great at picking for other people. She wasn't a big reader, but even when she did go through a stint of time that a book was in her hands for, they definitely weren't the sort of book that she figured Kennedy would be wanting to read. Something about romance novels or those cheesy books Hallmark movies ended up made out of didn't fully strike her as right up his alley. Did that stop her from waltzing into a Barnes and Noble anyway? No, no it did not. Of course, it was simply a $100 gift card she bought in there instead of picking him out anything specific, but she figured that was for the best anyway. It gave him the opportunity to pick something he would actually want for himself.
Moving onto another part of his gift was also fairly easy. She knew that Kennedy was a fan of booze, he was a bar tender for crying out loud. Not to mention the amount of times she and Ken had gotten a little tipsy and overly giggly in the past. Still, maybe it was a little over the top, the choice she made. A pack of beer or wine coolers wasn't going to suffice. They'd had enough different flavors of vodka in their drinking adventures, not to mention different kinds of wines. She had to do something a little different and more special, didn't she? So of course it had to be an expensive bottle of tequila, it couldn't possibly be anything but something that costed half a paychek a bottle. Patron Gran Platinum Tequila was definitely the only option. Obviously.
There of course was the job of personalizing the gift, bringing it all together. While Sav wasn't particularly great with homemade gifts, she was getting rather good at the whole homemade food thing. And Christmas was the best excuse in the world to go crazy on making sweets, so naturally an array of cookies ended up made. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, sugar cookies with little bits of candy cane baked in. She figured she had to give him a nice variety. Then there was getting all of her combined gift efforts together. Gift baskets were a popular thing, she knew that her dad and step dad were huge on them, so she took a page of out their book.
Bottle of tequila, gift card to the bookstore, and some homemade cookies, all in a dark green gift basket, decorated with a big red bow and some white tissue paper, Sav was set. She planned to leave the basket behind the lounge's bar for him just before his shift began so he would come in to find it there - and hopefully it would help make his shift better, even just a little. Idly, she wondered if Kennedy would even end up guessing that it was her that left the gift, although ultimately she decided it didn’t fully matter as long as he liked the whole thing. Before leaving the gift there for him, Sav made sure to leave a cute little note on a gift tag attached;
'Hope this checks off some of your wishlist, Ken. Merry Christmas! From, your Secret Santa ❤'
