I think both of them are interesting gifts and your friends will be happy with that. Give your friends 1000 XRP, and save 5000 ADA in the personal wallet. If I still had money, I would like to invest my money in ADA, stellar, ripple.
if I still have enough capital, I will also invest in the coins you mention because they have great potential to rise because they are strong coins. they have good resources to continue to increase.
If your friend knows nothing about the crypto world, then he won't care about what would it be Ripple or something else. Don't be greedy and give both of them to your friend.
