Throughout The Sun-Nymph Bride, Pippa and Edouard give each other gifts. Below are the meanings and inspiration behind them (with pictures!) Warning: contains spoilers.

After they meet but before they begin truly courting, Pippa and Edouard exchange letters to get to know each other. During this period, they gift each other small gifts for their nataldays that are appropriate for newly courting couples. Pippa gives Edouard a pocketcloth she’d embroidered with his initials in an ornate tenth-century style like the art he collects, and Edouard gives Pippa a bouquet of white daffodyls (daffodils on Earth), which symbolize joy, positivity, new beginnings, and innocence—very much like Pippa herself.

Once they’ve been courting three months, Pippa and Edouard begin calling each other by their first names aloud, and Edouard gives her a thornless peach rose, the closest he can get to her favorite flowers, peach blossoms, since they’re out of season. Peach roses symbolize modesty, sincerity, gratitude, and love. Then at the duchess’s fete for her upcoming grandchild, Edouard gives Pippa a thornless white rose that she can wear no matter what color her ballgown is. White roses symbolize charm, innocence, loyalty, and love. And after Pippa discovers Edouard uses her pocketcloth every day during Wren and Hawke’s wedding, she makes him half a dozen more and surreptitiously gives them to him.

For Edouard’s 24th natalday at the end of summer, Pippa hosts a natalday dinner for him and Elise with their favorite foods. But Pippa also gives Edouard an embroidery of a sun nymph done in the tenth-century style because of his nickname for her and his favorite art.

On Longnight, everyone in their families exchange small gifts, but they also exchange special ones in private. Pippa gives Edouard a bronze inkwell with asymmetrical swirls and sunbursts adorning it, again because of his nickname for her and his favorite art. Edouard gives Pippa a delicate gold bracelet with three sun charms carved from yellow butterscotch amber because of her sunny nature and his corresponding nickname for her.

During Edouard’s dangerously romantic gesture to inspire Pippa’s forgiveness, he gives her a bouquet of melissa peach blossoms because regulars ones still aren’t in season yet, but flowers pollinated by the bee-like melissae are hardier and in season longer. (Also, these would count as a faegift, which gentlemen only give to ladies they love.) Peach blossoms are Pippa’s favorite flower and matches the scent she wears, and they symbolize longevity, renewal, and love. Then he gives her his parents’ wedding tokens, a pair of gold tenth-century garden rings, as a promise they’ll marry one day.

Once they’re almost betrothed, Pippa purchases a pair of matching lockets for her and Edouard with moving portraits of each other inside from the veiled witch. (Read that deleted scene here.) These faegifts are gold with tenth-century scrolling, and the moving portraits mirror their actual movements.

Finally, for Pippa’s 19th natalday in spring, Edouard gives Pippa a large bouquet of peach blossoms, ordinary ones this time since they’re still in season. Then he officially proposes (although he doesn’t call that a gift.) He gives her the voucher he’d won at the Great Temple’s court event because she’d said she’d never visited a prayer house before. (An extravagant gift between an unmarried couple.) After visiting various prayer houses with Pippa, he hosts a natalday dinner for her with her favorite foods, and they announce their betrothal to their families.
