Day 4: Gift-Giving Puzzle

Some of the residents of Colors Universe have decided to sneak a few early gifts to their friends! Too bad Shirocchi and Kurocchi saw everything and are more than willing to give away their secrets... in a little game.


The Puzzle
Four residents of Colors Universe (Mikan-tan, Aoi-sama, Midorin, Tobi-han) have given four other residents of Colors Universe (Akai-san, Kou-kun, Murasaki-dono, Gin-sensei) a specially patterned (striped, spotted, plaid, paisley) present as an early thank you! Can you figure out who gave which present to who from the clues Shirocchi and Kurocchi give you?

Present Givers	Present Receivers	Present Pattern
Mikan-tan	Akai-san	striped
Aoi-sama	Kou-kun	spotted
Midorin	Murasaki-dono	plaid
Tobi-han	Gin-sensei	paisley
