Ahh! So cool. Very nice, Gimli ... :-) I also really liked the necklace/hairnet from Arwen, and Aragorn’s message. Very fun chapter, reading about all the gifts — I almost felt like I was watching them be opened myself!

Author Reply: Thank you so much! This chapter was the most challenging to write, but what a wonderful time for the hobbits. I know Gimli enjoyed himself as well.

Ah, to have the gifts of Elves, Dwarves, and Hobbits now united with this bottle of iIthilden in the Shire! Wonderful!

Author Reply: Hooray, I'm glad you like this. *beams*

That was simply *perfect*, Janet. What a wonderful gift for Frodo-lad, a labour of love indeed!

Gimli pulled out a clear crystal globe set into a polished wooden base and handed it to Frodo.

For a moment I thought that was a palantir! :D

Author Reply: It would be fun to imagine the hobbits having a palantir!

I appreciate your enthusiasm, Layne. Gimli sharing such a personal and rare gift with Frodo-lad would be quite special for both of them. :)

It was so heartwarming to have the Frodo, Sam and Gimli having a peaceful smoke together and blowing such amazing smoke rings. Sooo hobbity!

All of the gifts for the hobbits were perfect, especially Frodo-lad's. It was amazing. I'm loving this so much.

Author Reply: *grins* I think Gimli is a hobbit at heart.

Thanks so much, Addie. I couldn't find any stories about Frodo-lad, and I hate to see him endlessly in Elanor's shadow!

Mighty gifts! And the best of all, Frodo healed and happy in this AU. Le hannon!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Best of all, indeed.

I know Aragorn wishes he could have delivered those gifts in person, but maybe he can peek in with his Seeing Stone and see all the joy they bring his hobbits. :)

Oh, nice! What nice presents Aragorn and Arwen sent the Gamgee family.

And to think that Frodo-lad will have his very own way to make magic when Gimli is through with him!


Author Reply: Thanks for reading, Kathy! It's such a joy to shower our beloved hobbits with gifts ... and feasts. I couldn't wait to get to this chapter. :)
