Just found the perfect Jackalope for my friend! Better giving now or for Christmas?

I am innocently clicking through pages over pages of Jackalopes on expo and then one little fellow is just jumping at me because he literally looks like the exact description of the one my friend wanted for ever… The colors are matching and even the pattern and ears. Was never so fast to buy a mystical before (for this insane price at least, I could have gotten a partial for the same amount if you understand what I mean…) and now think if I should give it to her right now, level it to level 5 (it’s no longer level 0, so level 5 is the next best) and then give it to her or wait for Christmas and place it under a tree.

On the one hand for Christmas it would be the perfect present, but I also can’t wait right now and am so hyped up right now, I don’t know if I can wait for Christmas… I also fear she will get a Jackalope looking like this before because the amount of wc spend on this fellow must pay back once :)

Yeah, so I am essentially asking what to do…
