Tyson doesn’t generally care about celebrating any holidays, least of all Christmas. Even when it comes to Jewish holidays, unless joining Jethro and his family in their celebrations, Tyson only ever pays attention to Passover.
When giving gifts, regardless of occasion, Tyson makes personalised gift boxes. As mentioned in this submission:
Growing up, Tyson had never struggled for money. He had every luxury at his fingertips. Throwing money at gifts felt empty when he didn’t work to earn that money. It was empty. In making those personalised boxes, in carefully designing and toiling to craft them, Tyson earnt the right to give something from his heart.
Here are the gift boxes Tyson has designed that have been mentioned already. There are several which have been designed for various characters/version of characters, but the surprise shall remain until Tyson supplies them in threads/submissions.
- Charlie Hotchner
A completely silver box with a gyroscopic inside with green lining that spins upside down when opened to keep the content safe when she’s fidgeting with the box. - Dick Gannon
Delicate waves of silver just above the bottom edge of the top of the box a deep blue lining inside. - James Delaney
Polka dots of various metals and sizes around the box with a yellow lining inside. - Jasmine Dartmoor
Series of silver butterflies engraved into the container, a twist lock in the shape of a butterfly, with a white lining inside. - Jethro Andrew Delaney
Checker-board pattern in dull brass and shiny bronze on the container with a red lining inside. - Rosie Delaney
Intricate silver vines wrapping around the box with an indigo lining inside. - Sebastian Moran A simple bronze box with the Hindi for I love you (मैं तुम से प्यार करता हूँ) in silver below the latch, with an emerald lining.

A few millimetres away from the middle, where both sides met at the opening, two thin lines ran parallel on both sides to reveal the stainless silver beneath the bronze coating. Libra’s scales (♎) were etched above the latch into the stainless silver. In place of Ganymede, Jupiter’s symbol (♃) to the left and Mercury’s symbol (☿) was used as an equal substitute for Hermes and completed the triangle: to the right of the latch. - @captainspangly || x
The box was almost entirely coated with brass, but sun streaks of bronze and copper burst out from the latch to encompass the small container. The latch itself was a stainless steel version of Steve’s shield the size of a five pence piece that opened the box when turned to the left. Inside the box was lined with bright yellow felt.
Given how much importance Tyson puts on earning the right to give gifts, he is surprisingly willing to pour money into random gifts: be it something he saw in a shop in passing or bringing along food treats. His thought processes is ‘Hey, I saw a thing and thought of you’ and ‘since I’m rich I bought it for you whilst I saw there’ is more of an afterthought.
It’s a habit that compounds his need to make the gift boxes, to make giving larger gifts or gifts for special occasions actually mean something, but Tyson likes giving people surprises and little treats whenever he sees something he thinks they might enjoy.
