'tis the season to be tricksy

Christmas is the time for rice pudding, The Chipmunks album, watching It's a Wonderful Life/White Christmas, and most importantly, Holmes-esque sleuthing. Wrapped presents are simply puzzles waiting to be solved. You are given an item which you can not see, so you must employ the other four senses. Since Christmas is right around the corner, I have decided to enlist all of you to help me figure out what I am getting. #1 - This present is about 10" x 4". It is soft in the center and firm on the outsides and seems to be in the outline of a foot. It feels like furry slippers, but I am just not really the "gets furry slippers for Christmas" kind of guy. #2 - This present is the size of a ream of copy paper, and it weighs in at just under a kilo. It is a box with what sounds like paper and plastic that move around inside when it is shaken. #3 - This present is 10" x 8". It has no distinct shape, which typically puts it in the clothing family. But it is too large for shirt, too soft for a jacket and too small for a sweater. Plus, there are no buttons or zippers to be felt inside. Well, the clock is ticking. I only have about 80 hours to figure out what is inside these little bundles of joy, so please help me out and take a guess. You can leave your answers in the comments section. -b
