Question for those of you who like getting gifts and especially those that like to give them

How do I choose one?

So, a friend (an ex-friend?) of mine is really good with gifts, takes a lot of work, time and brainstorming into it. I on the other hand, don't see them as something that "sparks joy". So I suck at choosing and giving them. Whether we're friends or not and what is going to happen is still uncertain but she's been a dear friend of mine for years and considering how much time and effort she took with each gift these past few years, I feel like I owe her at least one that I thought through.

Any ideas? What can I focus on?
Many thanks!

I like to get people foreign snacks and novelty items. This year, I got my sister Japanese sodas and Turkish candies, respectively, because tbh we basically live in separate worlds and there's nothing her-specific I got really buy. Those kinds of gifts are nice because they'll always seem kinda clever, thoughtful, and frankly, exciting, and you can never really screw it up as long as you don't overlook a dietary restriction or some shit. With most gifts, you have to be careful not to get people something they already have, but with foods, it doesn't matter too much because they're consumable.
