You mixed in the gifts from you, and arranged them in a neat grid, with one present for each guest in each row and column. No idea why – you just liked the arrangement. But then the labels fell off of most of them! Fortunately, you were able to remember a bit about how they were arranged. Can you deduce the rest of the labels?
