Your mystery question is here :)
Snowman: What is your character's favorite thing to do when it's cold out? How do they feel about cold weather?
Present: What kinds of gifts does your character appreciate? What is the best gift they've actually gotten (for any occasion)?
Thank you!

Eldwin hates cold weather. The harvesting of his aether leaves him always feeling cold, unable to warm himself up and relying on external sources. Not to mention it makes old injuries act up.
So his favourite thing to do when it's cold is stay inside with a crackling fire (which can also be a bit iffy, because he has fire related trauma, but he's usually okay with fireplaces and well, needs must) lots of blankets, hot drinks and kitty cuddles. If the cat doesn't get in the way, he'll spend the day drawing and reading after some form of exercise, if he's able. (He learns not to beat himself up over it when he can't)
Ancassius also isn't fond of cold weather. He likes to spend his winters in a more tropical climate. When he doesn't, he'll try to make the best of it; he'll enjoy the markets for the winter merriment festival. Cold weather is an excuse to drink hot, spiced wine. Will drag Eldwin out too because You cannot spend all winter indoors, it's not that bad once you get out there.
Desmeirth likes the cold well enough. She doesn't really struggle with cold weather. If it snows, building a snowman would be fun, among other things they didn't get to do much as a child. And ice skating! He'll teach Eldwin ice skating, grab some hot drinks from the market, and then spend the night cosy at home.

Eldwin likes practical gifts. More of his favourite good-quality pencils and/or paper, some nice ink, blankets he'll never say no too, as mentioned he's always cold lol. Enchanted warming stones or jewellery would be great. And then cool magic objects, rare artefacts and stuff.
Ancassius will appreciate any gift tbh. Self care and beauty products, practical items, flashy jewellery... he's easy to please. Best thing is probably an enchanted bag that's a small leather pouch, but is endless; anything that fits in the pouch by width will sit in a little pocket dimension within the bag. Was a gift from a foreign noble after Cass did them a favour.
Desmeirth doesn't really like getting presents, as she's used to receiving hundreds of "gifts" and offerings a day - nothing actually meant for her, all used as an act of devotion. And given the minimalist lifestyle she's meant to lead, she doesn't get to keep anything herself; even the jewellery and expensive fabrics she wears are in the name of the goddess.
From a close friend however, they'd like something practical, relating to something they need or want to do, like jewellery crafting tools, crystals, notebooks and ink. However a useless, but cute, little trinket would also be much loved.
