Hinata makes a point to be outside of the compound. It was easier than her family inevitably making him wait hours outside the white walls before telling her he was even there at all. No for this visit Hinata was in the market, working on gathering what she already knew she needed to make her gifts for her friends and family. She avoided making chocolate like the plague, having never quite developed the knack for melting it without burning it, and settled for making something she typically knew they would enjoy instead where she could.
That typically translated into something not sweet for Sasuke, something fairly sweet for Obito, and she still hadn't decided what she was doing for Naruto this year. And Gaara would be in Konoha so that meant she wanted to make him something he'd like or buy him something he'd like. Whichever came first and her friend was most receptive to in the end.
Gaara would find her picking through the produce stand at the market, selecting tomatoes for her gift to Sasuke. A shopping back from the bakery dangling from her arm full of day old bread and danish to make bread pudding for dessert later to pair with dinner. If it came out well she might consider making a smaller batch for Obito as his gift this year. It would mean braving the bakery closer to the beginning of the coming holiday, but she would have to suck it up and deal with it.
She looks up after placing a nice plump tomato into her small basket and smiles when she spots her friend. "Hello Gaara." Hinata greets with a small wave.
