This was fun! I thought it was a bit strange that they fought so hard to get the gift when they were going to give it to the other anyway, but then they talked about it after, so that was fine.

I've had this headcanon for a while that Zipp absolutely prides herself on getting the PERFECT gift for EVERYONE for special occasions. Birthdays, Holidays, anniversaries, etc, whatever - for her, it was a point of pride and contention that she couldn't give anything less than perfection.
Pipp was, in my mind, feeling bad/a bit 'lesser' because she didn't feel her gifts were as good as Zipp's, so she was willing to go all out to make sure she got something good. Both of them wanted it for the other to match each other's interests - Pipp not wanting Zipp to be lugging around that giant tablet just to record and take notes, but also wanting to be able to share HER interests with Zipp. Zipp wanting Pipp to be able to have a new phone after the old one got damaged, and hoping they could share the moments and memories they make together.
I was semi inspired by Gift of the Maud Pie, but like, y'know. I re-wrote this ENTIRE story three times - it was originally a 'giving up the gift they got from each other' kinda thing, but it ended up here, and I'm pretty proud that it came out as it did.
