Are you wondering what the purpose of the picture is?
 
@sTs
 
Yeah I think the gifts will have a purpose later on, maybe to remind them of their friendship when facing Grogar later on.

As much as the trailer is pointing to Rainbow Dash getting Fluttershy. I just hope it isn’t only because you’d think at this point Dash would know Fluttershy long enough to know what to get her for a gift since they’ve been friends longer than Spike has been alive.

?

Based on the fact that Discord has offered his assistance to her, I’m willing to bet Rainbow got Fluttershy.

Rainbow could be either Spike or Fluttershy. Discord has a unique angle with both that would make him useful.
 
What I’d like to see is RD getting Spike and (with no snark withheld) helping Discord find a gift for Fluttershy while he helps her find something O&O or otherwise geek themed for Spike.

Omg thank you so much, this is so true.  
I just hate the relationship between Rarity and AppleJack, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. And people just love it?

I’m guessing it’s going to be a 7-way “Gift of the Magi” type of deal.
 
I’m hoping they don’t go any route of Applejack/Rarity or Dash/Fluttershy for the gift exchange, mostly because I feel those two pairings are too predictable now to the point of almost being cliched.
 
You have an eclectic cast of main characters. Mix and match them around.

Nah In the trailer we can see Twilight with a board and in the board it was a ballon so yeah Pinkie Pie -> Twilight and Twilight -> Pinkie Pie. Also, we can see Rainbow talking with Discord so yeah I am pretty afraid this is Rainbow Dash -> Fluttershy. The rest idk and I am not even sure about this…

Hmm… there’s not much support for guessing who got who at the moment – given that it was a random shuffle, it likely doesn’t have a strong basis into preexisting character dynamics. However, given that Discord volunteered his services in aiding Rainbow pick her gift, I’m guessing she got either Fluttershy or Spike.

I think it’s…
 
Twilight → Pinkie Pie  
Rainbow Dash → Fluttershy

Too obvious (probably).

Well I’ll take a guess.  
Pinkie Pie -> Twilight  
Fluttershy -> Applejack  
Applejack -> Rarity  
Rarity -> Pinkie Pie  
Spike -> Fluttershy  
Rainbow Dash -> Spike  
Twilight -> Rainbow Dash

I wonder if whatever items they get, will be vital for season 9.
