Parallel between Aziraphale and Gabriel
As seen in 1941 and the "Everyday" flashbacks, both Aziraphale and Gabriel are given something by their respective partners. At first glance, it's a super sweet gesture, omg! Gift giving! Awesomesauce!
However, it's so much more than that. They're both angels, angels who aren't meant to own anything. They're not meant to be given anything because they should be complete with themselves. Then Crowley saves Aziraphale his books and Bee gives Gabriel a matchbox and "saves" him later on in the events of season 2. Both Aziraphale and Gabriel take in this moment with their whole selves, putting a hand on their heart because they are feeling love.
This love is like a message to them. To be given something should go against everything your existence stands for, yet here you are. You are still an angel, you won't be punished, you are allowed to want.
You are not meant to just feel love but to feel loved.
