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: Kurt Wolfhart

WHAT DO THEY CELEBRATE?: Wizardy Christmas.

GIFT-GIVING HABITS: Thoughtful little things to his friends, often handmade, to close friends and people he thinks are special. (This includes people who are really nice to him in extracurriculars and Ribbonfin Senior/Junior Prefects.) Nothing extravagant.

HOBBIES & INTERESTS: Everything horses, everything other-animal-related, Magizoology in general, outdoorsy stuff (hiking, camping), Drama, history books. [NOTE: I'm taking a lot of the fine arts stuff out of his profile's likes/dislikes — he's more of a margin-doodler than an artiste.]

IDEAL TYPE OF GIFTS: Chloe once got him the Audubon Regional Field Guide for Gooseberry's region and it was basically the best gift he's ever gotten. Practical things are probably best but if he's showered with attention and fancy shit he's going to feel awkward. Really, all he wants for Christmas is hugs. :*

ANYTHING ELSE?: I DON'T KNOWWWWW
