The gifts mentioned seem, mostly, to be gifts for \"a priest.\"
I might point out that one gift, a piece of artwork, was for a priest specifically interested in the Byzantine empire.
If the question is, \"How do you give an appropriate gift for a layperson?\", the right answer is probably, \"I don\'t know; what is this person like? What are that person\'s interests and responsibilities?\" And then give a gift, not for \"a priest\" or \"a layperson,\" but for the specific person.
Just a thought...
