| Sunlight streams in from huge bay windows at the front of this spacious shop, rendering the burnished imflass sconces along the walls nearly pointless. Anchored between them, towering hazel shelves crowded with boxes of all shapes and sizes stretch to the back of the room where a narrow mica-topped counter houses a sturdy haon cashbox. You also see a many-paned golden imflass door and the shopkeep Zoraija.

the shopkeep Zoraija
Short in stature and bent with age, Zoraija's step is nonetheless sprightly and time has not dulled the twinkle in her gaze. Platinum strands are gathered into a bun atop her head, although a few errant wisps have escaped its confines to frame her face in soft curls. A crisp white pinafore covers most of the lemon yellow dress she wears, its ruffled straps embroidered with tiny, puffy dandelions gone to seed.
> ask Zoraija about giftbox
Zoraija smiles and nods at you. "Giftboxes? Oh, you can buy one and put your gifts inside to give to your loved ones. You can purchase them from the shelves in this room," she concludes.
> ask Zoraija about wrapping paper
Pointing northwest, Zoraija indicates, "Wrapping paper can be found in the northwest corner of the shop. You must have a giftbox from this shop, then you can WRAP the giftbox WITH your wrapping paper."
> ask Zoraija about ribbon
With a slight tilt of her head toward the corner, Zoraija responds, "Move to the northeast corner of the shop to purchase ribbons that you can WRAP your giftbox with to give it a more festive look."
> ask Zoraija about opening boxes
Zoraija claps her hands together delightedly at your question. "Oh, I love to watch the different ways that people open their gifts! Some are slow and methodical, others rip into them with a frenzy, and still others seem to hardly care at all. Once, I even watched someone open one with their teeth! Imagine!"
On the hazel shelf you see: a square giftbox, a rectangular giftbox, a lavender giftbox, a jet black giftbox, a daisy-painted giftbox, and a heart-shaped giftbox.

| The back wall of the shop is carved directly from a massive vein of unblemished rose quartz, its tones ranging from a pale blush to a deeper salmon shade. The rest of the room is cluttered with whitewashed hazelwood display cases and tables, each topped with myriad small baskets, bowls, and bins filled with coils of ribbon in polychromic hues.
