The Spirit of Christmas!

I'd like to start a thread for the random acts of kindness that go on day by day in Spiral Knights. A lot of times we Knights don't even acknowledge what goes on around us, and today one truly nice Knight reached out to me.
One of my quests in SK is to get matching costume sets for my friend and myself: Dragon Scale gear, + a Com Unit + Headband + Glasses + a Scarf. I won one of the Volcanics in the AH, and was presented with this one problem: How does one give their friend a matching, yet not Volcanic, scarf?
I was pondering this aloud when a kind Knight issued me a challenge: guess which color a Sealed Sword charge attack would produce. If I guessed correctly, I would recieve a Heavy Scarf (the closest color to Volcanic) for free. I won, and the Knight gave me the scarf. I later passed on the kindness by giving a Scarf I already held, a Military Scarf, to a 2* Knight who wanted one but couldn't afford it. They in turn passed on the gift by giving a Calibur I had given them earlier to another 2* Knight.
So what have you done, or seen another person do?
P.S. To honor the Spirit of Christmas, from now until Dec. 26th I may award small items: 2* Heart Trinkets or 5* Mats, etc.- to those whose tales are truly noteworthy. Go forth and do acts of kindness! XD

No, Xairathan gave the 2*
No, Xairathan gave the 2* Knight a MILITARY scarf, and gave the friend the HEAVY which closest resembled the Volcanic.

The person you gifted the
The person you gifted the scarf proceeded to gift a cap to a newbie who eventually tried to sell it to me for crowns, I didn't like how this broke with the spirit of gifts (you don't sell them!) so I trolled him into trading for and equipping a coat of the same line I had been gifted earlier by someone else.
I was laughing my ass off as he was asked to wear the matching cap he had been given earlier, you know, to complete the set. He didnt know how to get out of that one, even running around the fountain to try to make everyone forget about it, but managed somehow. In the meantime I was giving hints of what was going on and laughed even more because your friend didn't catch on.
Later he went on to gift something but I didn't keep track anymore :P

I crafted a slew of 2* guns
I crafted a slew of 2* guns to get the 10 gun achievement since I will never have 10 guns I'm actually going to use.
I decided to just inspect noob looking people and if they were just running around in spiral sallets and green wards I would just open a trade window and give them a gun.
Not a single one of those 8 people responded with a thank you or even responded at all. They just took the gift and ran as if they were wondering what took me so long to get around to giving it to them. It boggled my mind and convinced me that the majority of our population are ungrateful wretches.

" It boggled my mind and convinced me that the majority of our population are ungrateful wretches."
If anyone begs to me, then they don't deserve any gifts.
Nuff' said
