[Oh my god, Mabel, it's just tissue paper! You don't need to be THAT careful with it, jeez. Especially since it's just laying on top of the mystery gift. This was probably a safeguard against card glitter.]
[Because what's under the tissue paper is a pretty stark contrast to the rest of the gift. There's no bright colors, no bells, no glitter, or fun shapes. It's a black silk neckerchief, with a little dipper constellation embroidered in shining silver thread. Becoming a teenager means transitioning from childhood to adulthood. So it seemed appropriate to give her something with a more grown-up feel to it in addition to something fun and bright and colorful.]
