This page relates to a reported minor bug: gifting any of the items gives the sender both his own and the receivers message

The Grouch's Sack of Loot (full)
Plural: The Grouch's Sacks of Loot (full)
This massive sack
Carried by a hack

Full of holiday cheer
But sadly no beer

You know what? That's enough of the couplets. The Grouch was known around the city as a wonderfully kind-hearted hero that gave gifts to good citizens, generally giving them just what they needed. Not only was he known, but everyone recognized the large, red and green haversack he carried with him everywhere. Sadly, he vanished years ago, and this sack was found being carried by a tired drifter who had completely lost his memory. He was tired of pulling endless gifts from the sack, so he passed it off on someone else. Over the years, the sack traded hands from person to person and now you have it. The magic has weakened over time, and it no longer creates gifts specifically tailored to people, but it'll still generate delightful, if generic, items.
