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: Ryan Hertz
WHAT DO THEY CELEBRATE?: Christmas. His father is a VERY DEVOUT Catholic, so there was tons of mass and less of the commercialized parts of Christmas. We all have Mrs. Park to thank for the fact that Ryan can even Christmas at all really.
GIFT-GIVING HABITS: Ryan is really good at giving gifts. Because he doesn't get close to people easily, when he does, he's ALL IN. That means that he spoils them, and everything is very personal. Very much from the heart. He doesn't get everyone he knows one, but those few are all out. He's not rolling in dough, but there was an account set up for him from his wealthy parents before his dad found out he was an evil witch that he dips into sparingly for situations like this. He won't get everyone a gift, but that doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate you. The big ones are Chris, Zoey, Penny, Quinn, Levi, Diego, Cecil, Cricket, and Addy <3

HOBBIES & INTERESTS: Ryan loves music. He can play guitar, though maybe not everyone would know that? Basically anything music related, especially of the rock variety, and guitar things would work well. He loves coffee an obsessive amount. Obscure bands. Books. Croissants (come on, we all know this by now).

IDEAL TYPE OF GIFTS: If you got him a bunch of croissants, he'd pretty much die. Hoodies and beanies. Gel for his hair lol. Anything that reminds him of "home" in France. He also loves leather, and "punk" band type bracelets or accessories or shirts. He does have a piercing in his ear, so new ones for that are good. Muggle movies.

ANYTHING ELSE?: Ryan is one of those people who always say "don't get me anything", but when/if you do, he literally cherishes it. Because he didn't get many from his dad, and really doesn't feel like he's earned it
