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: Marilyn Fairchild
WHAT DO THEY CELEBRATE?: A combinations of different holidays, wizarding or otherwise, that results in a general idea of togetherness, giving, and spiritual love for all things. (So like, hippie Christmas? lol) Her parents are both Christian, but have adopted the tribal mentalities of a lot of the places they lived.

GIFT-GIVING HABITS: Marilyn LOVES Christmas and giving presents. She doesn't really care if she gets them, but is always grateful when she does. Pretty much everyone will get something. Mostly there will be a lot of handmade things, but she also has the means to buy things for some too. But since she can't stand the idea of not everyone being included, she'll give things to everyone she knows.

HOBBIES & INTERESTS: Animals, animals, and more animals. Any kinds, she loves them. Outdoorsy things. Writing. Fantasy books (anything Sci-Fi or Fantasy) Dragons.

IDEAL TYPE OF GIFTS: Anything that has to do with animals. Books, figures, anything. Dragons (like figurines or stuffed things, it doesn't matter) Journals to write in with fun covers and whatnot. Pencils. Peppermint anything (hot chocolate, candy, candy canes, etc) Quidditch things. Star gazing things. Video games (she is trying to get more into them because they seem so fun)

ANYTHING ELSE?: Marilyn has a LOT of people she loves and is friends with, so if you're not sure just ask and I can add them in. LOL
