I bought some of them before we instituted the no gift rule.
[Buffy's is simple and card-shaped. Inside is a cheesy Christmas card with a pun Elena knew she would enjoy, and a gifted spa trip for two, because Stefan told her that Buffy needs excuses for vacations, so Elena is giving her one.
Bonnie's is larger, and when she opens it she'll find a bound leather tome, but all of the pages are blank. She inches closer and says:]
I thought, if you wanted to, maybe it was time for you to start your own grimoire. In case there are people you want to pass down all your witch knowledge to one day. If nothing else, you deserve to chronicle all the big things you've done.
("Technically, it was implied," Bonnie reminds them.
Buffy smiles as she reads the 'slaying' pun and picks up the two spa tickets. She turns them around and shows them to her sister.
Bonnie picks up the leather tome. She opens it to the first blank page and then thumbs through of the other subsequent ones. She looks up.
"It's beautiful, Elena," Elena, she says, holding it against her chest. Thank you.")
I think I speak for my sister and I when I say, thank you for not assigning us homework, but Bonnie, I love that you'll be able to pass down your magic knowledge.

[She pauses, before wrinkling her nose.]
Though I do see how it's a bit like giving you homework for Christmas.

What she said.

[She takes a breath as she leans back in her seat.]
Everyone seems to be getting along well, right? No drama?
[Someone having PTSD flashbacks about how no Mystic Falls party can't go off without some kind of drama? Maybe.]
