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: Quinn Cunningham

WHAT DO THEY CELEBRATE?: Christmas via the United Church.

GIFT-GIVING HABITS: She only gives gifts to her close friends and something small to her cabin mates. It's probably a 70/30 joke/sentimental split and the latter gets little acknowledgement beyond a small smile and a nod or something because she's not really into talking about that many feelings ~~unless she's the one starting that conversation~~. Any feelings are usually in the cards, like Jesse's birthday gift — but that level of sentiment is the ABSOLUTE MOST anybody will get. Ever.

HOBBIES & INTERESTS: Athletics (hockey! quidditch! baseball! quidpot!) and academics are p much it, then Grotto parties and like... first aid books fill in the cracks.

IDEAL TYPE OF GIFTS: Sporty stuff (hockey/skating/running especially), notebooks and ballpoint pens and shit. Cigarettes. Rolling papers?Idek, man. I'm no help. Creative items with which to party?? (Don't ask me what that means, I don't know.)

ANYTHING ELSE?: Idk if I'll really come up with gifts worthy of posting. If I don't come up with anything, can we just handwave it and say ~oh yeah there was a gift~? Gifting makes me so anxious. :{ I think the list would be like Jesse, Tess, Ryan, Chris, prob Ty at this point, Rafael (if something appropriate comes to mind), then smaller things for roomies.

	Ryan is like YESSSS. Except he never thinks people should give him things so it's more reserved. (Reply to this) (Parent)
