GIFT GIVING MEME: Taking the OOC strain out of IC gift giving

It's that time of the year again when we stress out over what sort of gifts one fictional character should give to other fictional characters. Sometimes it's even more stressful than picking out gifts for your actual friends. Let's help each other out!

CHARACTER NAME:
WHAT DO THEY CELEBRATE?: Do they get swept up in the Christmas spirit? Do they LIGHT 'EM UP UP UP for eight nights? Is there a combination of different holiday traditions? Do they not celebrate at all?
GIFT-GIVING HABITS: Are they bad at choosing gifts? Have they ever been caught re-gifting gifts they didn't want? Do they always give gifts to each one of their roommates or are they bad at even remembering to give gifts to their best friend?
HOBBIES & INTERESTS: What would other people know about what they like? Do they have any themes or special interests they're known for? Ex: Levi likes Quidditch, music, dogs, and astronomy and his special interests (and aesthetic themes) are aliens and outer space.
IDEAL TYPE OF GIFTS: What sort of gifts would your character love to receive? Is there anything those close to them might realize that they could use? Do you have any links to items or lists to help us out? (If you google "Gifts for [Hobby]", sometimes there are already pre-made lists! For example, I could google "Gifts for reptile lovers" for Diego or "Gifts for astronomy lovers" for Levi and be rollin' in gift ideas. You can also search treasuries on Etsy!)
ANYTHING ELSE?: Anything you'd like to add to help with the fictional gift-giving process?

CHARACTER NAME: Bailey Hartman.
WHAT DO THEY CELEBRATE?: Christmas. She and the rest of the Hartman family are very Catholic.
GIFT-GIVING HABITS: Bae tends to choose very thoughtful and specific gifts for her very close friends, a general gift for her roommates (each of the girls typically getting the same small gift), and then hand-written cards with candy for everyone else.
HOBBIES & INTERESTS: She loves all things love and romance except for trashy romance novels (romantic comedies, though, she loves). She likes plays plays and classic literature (esp. the works of Jane Austen). Movies in general. Any kind of art, be it a sculpture, a picture, or hand-painted/hand carved anything. Pop music/rap/hip-hop/R&B/jazz. She also likes psychology, sociology, and anthropology books and all things fashion, especially pretty dresses.
IDEAL TYPE OF GIFTS: Cutesey girly gifts like pens with fluff balls on them, ribbons, dresses, heels. Special editions or new versions of books that she owns (like a re-bound, illustrated version of Pride and Prejudice, for example). Anything from an art show or festival or market. Cowboy boots, which she's actually pretty fond of. Posters of her fave celebrities.
ANYTHING ELSE?: She'll be giving out gifts to Antonia, Diana, Marty, Diego, Wes, Cameron, Pin, An, and Jo. But I JUST woke up so if you think I missed your character and they belong under the heading of "Bae's very close friend" PLZ speak up because I don't want her to forget someone because I'M lame.
