» MAY gets fingerless alpaca gloves (in red) for those chilly patrol nights, and Brian's Song on DVD. People in biopics are safe from being imPorted, right?
» JESSICA would have gotten the MAKER pocket ref and project notebook, plus a pocket multitool. In her card he notes that "some things, analog still does better. Merry Christmas!" Alas, all that thought for a recipient who's not even here. :(
» GWEN gets a carnivorous plant kit and French toast stamp.
» JOHNNY gets an Extreme Stunt Wall Coaster.
» REILLY gets a copy of The Annotated Peter Pan.
» MATT gets nice but not particularly inspired cufflinks. Sorry, Matt, you're hard to shop for. Matt's cat gets a chew toy.
&strong; GERRY gets an iTunes gift card (yeah, he's sorta floundering there), and Barkdevil gets a Kong.
» CAROL gets a stainless steel cuff bracelet with a short quote from this etched on it.
» HANK gets a No-Spill mug holder from Spidey, plus sugru hacking putty and a book from Peter. Damn, secret identities sure make gift shopping expensive.
» BUCKY gets a Mets cap.
» TERRA gets a wool scarf (in raspberry), as Spidey refuses to believe she doesn't get cold.
» SELINA gets the Villainess soap sampler.
» Everyone else gets cards which may or may not be some kind of injoke or reference, notably:
(... The likely "bzuh" reactions in some cases are part of the appeal.)
» Other people who very conspicuously DON'T get cards, or anything else: Tony, Norman, and Vic Sage, for triply dissimilar and varyingly profound reasons.

DONNA's is a photo of a galaxy;» Other people who get cards: Amanda Waller, the rest of Spidey's various Marvel associates, his Global Dynamics/City Lights co-workers (the ones he's worked with directly, at least), Roxanne, Kanaya, Vivi, Sherlock, Sandman.
CLINT's has a cupcake on it (inside, "Happy Birthday!" is struck through and replaced with the requisite holiday wishes);
SHE-HULK gets this one.
