“Then suddenly… [Sam] remembered the gift of Galadriel.  He brought the box out and showed it to the other Travellers… and asked their advice.  Inside, it was filled with a grey dust, soft and fine, in the middle of which was a seed, like a small nut with a silver shale…

So Sam planted saplings in all the places where specially beautiful or beloved trees had been destroyed, and he put a grain of the precious dust in the soil at the root of each… And at the end he found that he still had a little of the dust left; so he went to the Three-farthing Stone, which is as near the centre of the Shire as no matter, and cast it in the air with his blessing…

Spring surpassed his wildest hopes. His trees began to sprout and grow, as if time was in a hurry and wished to make one year do for twenty…

Altogether 1420 in the Shire was a marvellous year. Not only was there wonderful sunshine and delicious rain, in due times and perfect measure, but there seemed something more: an air of richness and growth, and a gleam of a beauty beyond that of mortal summers that flicker and pass upon this Middle-earth. All the children born or begotten in that year, and there were many, were fair to see and strong, and most of them had a rich golden hair that had before been rare among hobbits.”  Return of the King p367-368

What I’m getting from this is that Galadriel didn’t only give three of her hairs to Gimli, she also gave her hair to half the baby hobbits of the Shire… 

Imagine when Celeborn does arrive, telling his wife ALL about the goldenhaired Hobbits… and one of her brothers jokingly asks if she will claim them as her children.

Just.

Imagine.

The.

Look.

On.

Celeborn’s.

FACE.

Meanwhile Finarfin would be all over the cuteness of it, forcing anyone who’s ever seen a Hobbit to draw him pictures of his “Grandkids”.
