[Hey it's a nice bottle of wine hanging out with a ribbon tied around it, waiting for Taryon on the doorstep to his room in the Keey, with a note attached that reads: 'For my fellow Wildemount denizen. Happy not-Winter's Crest. - Caleb']
[Sitting on a table in Tary's room whenever he returns to it during a day in mid-December is a weatherproof case. Inside is a spare journal, pens that, on closer inspection, each reflect a member of Vox Machina, including Tary himself and a folded letter.]
Tary,
I thought you could use a spare book. But not just that. I thought you could use a reminder you're one of us. No matter where you go and what you do, know you always have a home with us. I'm not saying go anywhere, just that you belong. I'm glad to call you a friend and ally.
And hope one day you do publish your works. I hope they touch others as you have touched us. Life is a little brighter with a friend like you around. - Vax
[When Tary opens his door, there is a pretty silver-wrapped package by it. There's a note on top with his name on it, in Vex's elegant handwriting.
After removing the paper and opening the box itself, he will find a hair care set in stamped silver: mirror, brush and comb. On the back of the mirror and brush are the Sun Tree of Whitestone, the Sun of Pelor with arrows under it, a bear a symbol of Sarenrae, a clenched fist, an elegant leaf, a raven, a lute, a robot, and a book and pen in a circle around the stylized VM of Vox Machina.]
I have learned a great deal about myself and hair care from you, Tary. You are as much a member of Vox Machina as anyone else. And if anyone tries to dispute that, let me know so that I can fill them with arrows.
Aside from Percy and Vax, you are the only other man I hold so dear. You are my best friend and have the greatest heart of anyone I have met in all our travels. Never lose that, but remember the lessons you learned while with Vox Machina. And ignore everything your father has ever said about your worth. He doesn't know a damn thing about true worth and will suffer all his days for it.
[Outside Taryon's door is a small box, wrapped in blue ribbon.
Inside is a really nicely crafted set of tinkering tools, along with a note, written in gnomish.
Tary, hopefully these tools will help once you get Doty back. Or if not, help you build a newer version of him. By the way, if I haven't told you lately, I'm glad you've kept up with your flash cards.
Also, this note serves as One (1) Get Out of Death Free Card, free of judgement or questions. Any after that I reserve judgement and laughter.
[What appears in front of Taryon's door is a very large package. Keyleth hasn't tried to wrap it because of its size but his name is artfully written for Taryon to see. Inside is a Stylish Cavalier Hat.]
I hope this is up to your style. If not lets return it and buy something together! Happy Winter's Crest Taryon!
[Despite being the new guy in the group and not being introduced to the man before arriving in Folkmore, Scanlan thought it proper to bestow Taryon with a belated Winter's Crest gift as well. Late in the evening when the artificer is fast asleep the bard slips an envelope with a small note and the item in question.]
"I know we may have gotten off on the wrong foot but I wish to amend my somewhat dickish introduction with a belated Winter's Crest gift. I respect a man with a glorious 'stache and I hope this comb will serve you well."

Left outside his room, mid-December
Winter's crest.
Tary,
I thought you could use a spare book. But not just that. I thought you could use a reminder you're one of us. No matter where you go and what you do, know you always have a home with us. I'm not saying go anywhere, just that you belong. I'm glad to call you a friend and ally.
And hope one day you do publish your works. I hope they touch others as you have touched us. Life is a little brighter with a friend like you around. - Vax
Ps: The case should be able to fit in Doty.

And if you can, swing by the kitchen and get some meat and cheese. I forgot.
