What kind of gifts have you received from NPCs?

I know it's random and fairly uncommon (in my experience), but sometimes an NPC with a positive disposition will give you a gift. What kinds of things have you received?

At least two different NPCs have given me the first part of the "Brief History of the Empire" series, and one time I got a pair of boots (named "Boots").
Proventus recently decided to give me Ragged Robes.

It's the thought that counts, isn't it?

i got a daedric sword from Irileth.

Im obviously not nice enough. Iv never had a gift

The NPC will say something like "I'm glad we're friends..." or "I've been thinking..." and then just give you the item. But like I said, it's random and fairly uncommon.

You just walk past someone who is friendly to you, and they say something along the lines of: "Here, have this!" instead of "Greetings person I like".

I've received potions of minor magic and healing. I got one of them from the innkeeper at Falkreath who said shyly: "I know it's not much, but it's something." Narri also gave me a fine hat once saying: "To friendship! Here. If you don't like it, too bad." One time Kjeld said: "In a world full of fools and idiots, you stand head and shoulders above the rest. I want you to have this" and I got an iron sword. Then his wife apologised to me for how abrupt and unfriendly her husband was.

I read someone who once on one of his brief trips to Breezehome to dump his loot have Lydia say: "I'm glad we're friends. Here!" and gave him a ragged cap. He was convinced Lydia was subtly insulting him for never being around. This girl also had an experience with gift receiving she thought so funny she made a comic about it: http://norroen-stjarna.deviantart.com/art/Lady-Charmer-343976011

Who would be friends with housecarls or innkeepers for poxy potions and clothes when Irileth gives you the 2nd strongest sword and arguably the hardest weapon to come across?

Cyaz im off to make a new pal

I got a gift from Ondolomer the Thalmor Commander in the city of Markarth then he said that there were fewer things in life as fine as my company

dont ask how cause i dont how to trigger her giving you that sword.

Don't worry its random braith is just as likely to give to daedric stuff as anyone else...

Just about anything you can think of. I've gotten weapons (all types from Iron through daedric); armours (all types except dragon & daedric); jewelry (you name it); books (a whole variety!); ingredients (I even got a Daedra Heart once!); the weirdest thing I ever got was a bunch of chaurus chitin from a smith I helped - where she got it, I have no idea since there aren't any falmer things anywhere nearby. I even got 5 cheese wheels once.

He may have, I don't remember, but, good joke anyhow.

this happens to me every so often and i can never figure out what it is they gave me cause my inventory is too cluttered.. :/

Valdr's Lucky Dagger is the only thing I really appreciate as gift. The other stuff were pretty much heritage letters.
