Some headcanons I have about characters giving and receiving gifts! If you like this one enough, I can make some more with other characters too. (◕ ˬ ◕✿)

Amber

Amber is pretty casual with giving gifts. She is the kind of person to go and buy something if it reminds her of you.

It’s usually something small but rather cute.

At first she was a bit shy about presenting her gifts to you, but now she just treats it like a completely ordinary sign of affection between you two.

“There is no need to thank me, that’s just what friends do!”

She even made you friendship bracelets in matching colours of your outfits and wears her’s religiously.

You were always so flustered by her enthusiasm that when you were mentally ready to give her something in return you wanted it to be a big one.

When you got her a new bow as a present she was shocked, jumping up and down in excitement. She rushed to embrace you in a tight hug, lifting you above the ground a little.

Now every time you buy her something she acts shocked as if it is the first time.

No matter what it is, she will be thrilled, loudly expressing her excitement and joy drawing attention of random bystanders.

Amber will compliment your gift all day long. “Look how cool it is, I can’t believe it!”

And she will definitely show it to EVERYONE you meet, so you often get embarrassed when she does that (she tends to overdo it a bit). “Y/n is the greatest friend! Look what they got me!”

If it is something she can wear on herself she will absolutely do it given the chance. Some of the gifts she carefully places in her locker at the Ordo Favonious Headquarters.

Diluc

You were the first one to give him something as a gift. He wouldn’t dare to bother you with his unwanted attention. (Almost like he hasn’t been racking his brain for days trying to come up with ideas and trying to build up his courage).

Every time you do it his reaction is unchanged: his eyes widen in surprise for a quick second and he gets a little flustered (but be sure not to blink as you can easily miss it). He is lucky to have his hair covering the tips of his ears or you could surely notice them turning red.

Being able to quickly gain back his composure he always thanks you in the most humble way, even though no words could describe how his heart sank with joy at those moments.

Diluc is in some ways inept at showing affection but you will always have a little something delivered by your door the next morning. He doesn’t sign this little gifts with his name, just a simple thank you on a little card in a beautiful handwriting. You can easily guess who sent it your way.

It’s usually something simple like flowers or a fruit basket but with a really rich design (sometimes even decorated with some primogems!) and quite big at that.

He treasures your gifts, and if it is something small and sentimental he will even cary it in the pocket of his coat like a lucky charm. It’s something he will never admit, and Kaeya will surely tease him to death if he finds out.

It gives him comfort to have this little something that reminds him of you in his pocket, to feel it in his hand. He still struggles to come up with a real present that will be truly worthy of you, that will let him show his gratitude for everything you do for him.

Razor

Razor is rather new to the concept of gifts.

He knew it was a thing, but with you it was special. When you bought him something for the first time he wasn’t sure how to react. 

Is simple ‘thank you’ enough? Was he supposed to give you something in return? And what to do now? He needs to come up with a good present too!

He hoards all of your presents at his place, forbidding anyone from ever touching them. He’s had this little box with all the gifts he got from his human friends, but now he has another one dedicated solely to you, a fancy one.

He also doesn’t really understand the deal with the packaging, so he is always hesitant to open gifts and especially if there is some beautiful wrapper involved.

“Oh, another box, thank you!” “No Razor, the gift is inside” “But the box is beautiful ;(“

He often considers it a part of the present and unpacks it as carefully as he can. He neatly folds all the shiny wrappers and proceeds to keep them on him for some time, same thing with ribbons.

When he grasps the idea of gift-giving a bit better, Razor will be very initiative. He wants to give you the best, most expensive presents he can find. The thing is, he doesn’t have much mora on him (no pay only gift). He keeps a little piggy-bank to save up on presents for you.

For him bigger usually equals better, so he is the type to present you with gigantic plushies three times your size.

While he unable to buy anything Razor keeps it simple, he will bring you some things he found during his hunts. It’s usually some flowers or fruits, but sometimes he gets lucky and can even lead you to some treasure chests! 

Childe

Oh he absolutely spoils you with his gifts.

One second you mention you like something and the other he casually gives it to you with the biggest smile on his face.

He loves it when you start gushing about how he shouldn’t have done that or how expensive it is, how you can’t accept the gift. Especially when he manages to make your cheeks turn bright red.

“Oh, it’s nothin’ special. Seeing you happy is the best gift anyway” He teases you while you almost scream at him to stop showering you with mora.

But his absolute passion is giving you new weapons to try. Expensive ones, unusual ones, advanced ones. Latest products, razor-sharp blades, hilts encrusted with gemstones emitting elemental magic. 

You probably have like three of the same type of sword but in different design. You send some of them to Mondstadt for the Knights of Favonius or donate older ones to the Adventurers Guild, otherwise you would look like a gunsmith or something.

Childe doesn’t mind, it’s more of a playful tease to him. The thing is, it gives him a perfect opportunity to challenge you for a sparring session.

“You absolutely must try it out, y/n. Let’s do it right now!”

You think it’s cheating, because you can’t really refuse him in this situation.

He is not as sly and cocky when it comes to receiving presents. The first time you tried to give him something he thought it was some kind of a prank.

When Childe realised you were serious he was lost for words. His silly manner of gift-giving was mostly to hide the fact he really wants to make you happy. He would love to be more sincere about it if he could.

You giving something to him was truly special. Your kind gesture moved him deeply and he absolutely had to hide that fact.

“Wow... This is so kind of you! I... don’t even know what to say, haha”. Yeah, smooth. 

He took you to a fancy restaurant the next day and gave you something a bit more sentimental than usual. It was a beautiful necklace with a little blue stone, almost the color of his eyes. Childe was nervous like it was his first real gift to you.

“Oh, don’t you look at me like that! I just thought it would be nice to give you something that would remind you of me for a change”.
