All around you there is light and glitter. Somewhat overly decorated in a tacky sense, this store's walls are lined with goodies and seasonal items that appear to disappear after awhile. From the front of the well-lit store comes a female teenager, wearing a clean, white apron over a shirt that seems decorated with some sort of Evelon pet. Her pink hair trails down in childish locks over her eyes, and she is wearing a santa hat, which she sports no matter what time of the year. She seems to be constantly working and moving about, small boxes in her arms. The girl's amethyst eyes fall upon you as you approach, a warm, friendly smile spreading across her face...
"Hi there stranger. Welcome to Seasonal Specialties. I'm none other than your hostess, Elie. Did you come to check out our giftbox selection?" shes asks politely, setting her boxes down to attend to you instead. "Here. Have a look at the boxes we have for sell and how much they cost."
° This thread follows all Marketplace Rules. Additional information specific to this shop is listed below.
° All giftboxes have an unlimited stock, so you may purchase them as you please.
° Since we've gotten a late start this year we're keeping our doors open a little longer! You have until January 13 at 11:59 PM to make any purchases.

.:Holiday Giftboxes:.
Giftbox #1 - 40 KS"I might as well just say it, right? These boxes are so familiar after all these years anyways. I'm pretty sure whatever is in this box is an albino. No clue what exactly it could be, but at the very least we know it's not a previous pet!"
Giftbox #2 - 50 KS
"This box feels pretty cool, but it doesn't hurt to hold or anything. It's almost a comforting type of cold? Like a nice cold rag against your neck on a hot summer day! No clue what could be in there though..."
Giftbox #3 - 60 KS"Unlike the previous box, this one is very hot to the touch! It''s pretty uncomfortable to hold onto these boxes, but keeping them near the front doors has been great for saving on our heating bill! It's like they completely negate the cold winds coming in."
Giftbox #4 - 70 KS
"I smell peppermint from this box! The stripes on the box remind me candy canes, but there's also one particular critter that they remind me of too... I just can't place my finger on it. Was it a predator? Or was it prey...?"
Giftbox #5 - 80 KS
"These boxes are very heavy for their size, almost as if they're full of rocks. Sometimes they're a bit soggy too, as if whatever inside melted a bit. Maybe like some sort of snow covered rock?"
Giftbox #6 - 110 KS
"Oh I love these ones! They fill the room with such a wonderful smell. Pine I think? Well, certainly some sort of evergreen. Makes me think of a lovely forest on a winter day when I pass by."
Giftbox #7 - 130 KS
"The colors of this box remind me a tiny bit of those really cool Ipinox we had a couple years ago. I've been told there's nothing nearly so rare inside, but starry pelts always seem to be a favorite, so I'm sure people will like whatever is in here!"
Giftbox 8 - 140 KS
"Aww, it's like someone managed to take a sweater and turn it into a giftbox. Or... maybe someone did exactly that? The box is very, very soft!"
Giftbox 9 - 160 KS"Despite the beautiful colors on this box there's something about it that leaves me feeling... uncomfortable? Every time I'm near one I just get weird feelings. I swear I've heard glass breaking from them on at least one occassion."
Timothy took a deep breath, and pushed both the list and his bag of Keystones onto the counter. He had saved for months to be able to have enough for this, yet somehow it was difficult to part with now that he was here. 
It had come to the attention of a certain someone that certain things had not been done at a more proper time, and that there was someone who was clearly being incredibly lazy as the days grew colder. It was hard to blame them, since the cold air did tend to make one want to just bundle up and never come out of hiding. But, still! The chance to get this errand done was almost gone, so it needed to be done now!
Okay, so it took him a little too long to get to this particular errand, but at least he was here. The boxes themselves looked rather picked over, but there were enough to fill his order. No empty tables yet from what he could tell.
Oh, he'd been so busy. It had truly at a point in the year when Dr. Kenzo Tenma felt as though he was nothing but one big tangle of busyness and stress, barely managing a chipper tone with his coworkers as they saw patient after patient after patient. The winter time was such a crowded time at the clinic, flus and colds and all manner of other sickness and injury seeming to lurk, always, by the door.
