ETA: Feeling this hard right now. Protip: Always buy important gifts that have to be complete with a deadline. Always. I know you might be thinking "but something that I make for my spouse's birthday will be much more meaningful." Stop. Buy a gift. It will save a lot of strife.

Or share food rather than other types of gifts

That's good too, if it fits the needs/wants of the given scenario. Just don't do the big project that you've never done before as the primary gift. I say this purely out of interest for others' happiness and ability to avoid my mistakes.
