It is one of mine, yes, though I indulge in several of them. Gifts, service, time, touch... all have value. All have meaning.

[The wrapping comes away to reveal the sheet music with a covered record on top. The vinyl took more effort than the rest, learning how to craft such a thing, then putting it to the test. The jacket has a hand-illustrated rose bush wandering over the front, and the name, Notes of Rose drawn out in calligraphy. The bottom right has Elidibus's sigil, painstakingly detailed into the corner on both front and back.
The sheet music itself is hand-bound, and clearly hand-inked as well. Each line is perfectly straight, the staff and notes uniform. In all corners save the bottom right there are more roses, each page having a different color. The bottom right is reserved for his sigil, clearly used as his signature.]
Though it may be a physical gift, I took the liberty to lay enchantments upon each page, the jacket, and the record itself. They will not bear the wears of time, and neither weather nor grime shall touch them. Indeed, you could hurl the record against steel and it would remain unharmed.
[It came as second nature, to protect the gifts he gives. To protect the hard work and emotion behind them.]
