  • Happy Birthday. What a wonderful day this is! You're a year older, so let's celebrate! Now, I know the mystic artifact I got you seems useless and thoughtless, but something told me it would be good for you. Yeah, see it glowing. It does that sometimes. Keep it in mind when you're fighting the Dark Lord. If you're lucky, it will actually be important to the plot. Now, Chekhov's Gift is not given an important purpose at first. It gains that with time. Now, that old hermit might give a gift that he knows will be useful, but you do not know immediately how important it is to the plot. The other case is that it was important by freak chance. It can be given for a Birthday, Christmas, or some other reason. The key factor is that it's not what it appears to be at first. Sub-Trope of It Was a Gift. See also It May Help You on Your Quest. Compare Memento MacGuffin. Enjoy your sacred artifact. Hope you manage to Save the World.
