Memorable gifts

The list is not exhaustive, of course, and it is very likely that this post will be supplemented over time. But it's a good start!

Throughout the saga, children are born, grow up, parents learn, communicate...
Please note that one of the quotations is taken from the 9th volume: Go telle the bees that I am gone.
