It seems to me a lot of the gifts were different. Aragorn also got a scabbard. Boromir got a belt. Merry and Pippin did not get daggers but belts instead. Sam's rope was just part of the supplies they all got. It seems to me the only gifts that were the same were Legolas, Gimli and Frodo's.<P>I don't see how the elfstone is essential to RotK though. It's not as important as most of the other gifts we saw.<P>H.C.
