I took the name from a short story set in the universe of some of my favorite 
books.
The "gifts" consist of a multi-strand necklace with crystal, pearls and rhinestones, a pair of earrings and a bracelet.  The pearls and rhinestones are re-purposed vintage pieces (I've been haunting tag sales looking for vintage costume jewelry).

| Bracelet detail: I snipped off the pin mechanism from this small rhinestone crown and glued on a bail to convert it to a charm. |

Long before I heard the Mythbusters say it, my motto was "anything worth doing is worth over-doing".
 
Very cool!
