If your oc were to give someone a gift, are they the type to buy or make it?

Claris likes to make gifts(She's pretty good at designing jewellery or clothing), Sarin also tends to make gifts but also buys them for friends.

Nat is the one to BUY BUY BUY, if not buying then she'd be the one to gift someone an all paid trip somewhere. Don't ask about how much money she has, if she didn't have it she wouldn't go all out uvu

Yorra's the type to make it since it'd typically be food related. Rare opportunity to cook for a person so she'll find out what they like then make smth tailored to that.

if it's for someone she doesn't know, Briar honestly would just buy some expensive jewelry because it's easy to get and the price will always have people surprised so she can get out of that problem as quick as possible LOL

But if it's for someone she cares about, she would take her time to actually plan out a gift including things that person likes, and would make sure to get really luxurious stuff. She goes all out when it comes to gifts for her loved ones

Gael would try his best to handcraft a gift for someone (and ultimately fails because he's really bad at it but he's trying his best!!)

Oh for sure they’ll make it themselves. The time and effort put into it is more valuable and plus it can help save a lil cash for rent.

Jin would be more likely make something, but she knows not everyone would want some handmade crafts, haha. Mary's more inclined to buy something but depending on the person she'd go out of her way to personalize it for them.

Honestly, it would depend on the person in question; there would be times when Elio would have to make something by hand since it would have a deeper meaning to it and there are certain things money couldn't buy. Other times, it's much easier to buy something because it's quicker and he doesn't mind spending some coin to satisfy someone he cares about.

In est, it goes both ways since he wants to achieve an outstanding result.

For Odd, Depends on who he's gifting to, but he'll more often than not buy or find something; with how much niche stuff he finds/sells for his shop, he can pretty consistently find something that the recipient can get a kick out of

If he does ever make gifts, it's usually food (be it some baked goods, a nice meal, etc.)

Fausto would make it himself, may not be perfect but it has sentimental value

Balei would pay for it but she would spend days looking for the perfect gift only to chose the first gift she thought of lol

Wily would make SUPER elaborate/over-the-top things and not think much of it.
Polly's having trouble with the show's setups on tours? Here's a set of stage-quality floating speakers that can provide surround sound for a whole stadium.

Everyone else would be buying gifts, with the exception of Salvador who is kinda broke and would cook them something special.

Jasmine: Probably buy it but she would research the absolute hell about what her friend wants

Andres: he tried to buy it but if he wouldn't find any intresting stuff he tried to make something

Avian would attempt to make something heartfelt and meaningful, be disappointed with what he made due to only being able to see its flaws, bin it, panic over what to buy them in case he makes a mistake, gives them cash, feel bad about giving a bland and emotionless gift.

Stahl: "Tell me what you want, it'll be on your doorstep first thing tomorrow."

Arryn will go out shopping with someone and buy things for them they like.
