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: Olivia Sanchez
WHAT DO THEY CELEBRATE?: Christmas
GIFT-GIVING HABITS: Olivia tends to try to mesh super practical but super thoughtful together for most of the gifts she gives. She wants it to be something you use every day, whether that means jewelery, or something you specifically need that will make your life easier.
HOBBIES & INTERESTS: Olivia's into working out. This girl brought her own weight set from home. She's into working out, exercising, eating healthy, boxing, running. But also make up and cute shit. She has a dry sense of humor and a lot of her celebrity interests skew toward satire. She loves cleverly witty books that are so dry in their wit you get a rash just reading them. A hitchhiker's Guide to the universe was her entire life when she was twelve.
IDEAL TYPE OF GIFTS: She loves memorable things that you can keep forever. Whether that is some kind of art work, or necklace, or figurine, or just a hand carved heart, she doesn't care. She loves collecting cute things that people hand selected or created themselves, because those mean something to her. But she also loves a good book, or a new pair of gloves.
