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?

CHLOE SHEPHERD

CHARACTER NAME: Chloe

WHAT DO THEY CELEBRATE?: Christmas, but more in a ~spirit of Christmas~ than a religious way.

GIFT-GIVING HABITS: She usually tries not to give a ton of gifts, because it makes her nervous (what if she picks something terrible and it gets super awkward??), but she also tries to get gifts for her friends (and anyone who gets gifts for her). She often tries to do some kind of handmade gift, or at least something she thinks matches the person's interests.

HOBBIES & INTERESTS: Nerd shit; sci-fi shows, books, games. Even if it doesn't strictly fit her particular nerd interests, she'll still love anything nerd-reference-y. Art/craft supplies or any kind. Winter wear (it's so cold at GB :( ). Candy/junkfood.

IDEAL TYPE OF GIFTS: Anything. For reals, just the fact that someone thought of her really touches her, and she's excited about all gifts.
