I mark everything as 'gift'.
By "everything" I mean jewellery or stuff like stems that I've made myself, headset caps I've laser engraved or used goods, normally bike parts that I'm selling on.
Think I started doing so when it was the older, smaller cn22 we had to attach to the back of parcels and the options were Gift, Sample, Documents or Other.
Possibly the person at the post office counter directed me to mark it as Gift, possibly I just chose to do so myself.
Never had any issue marking things that way although perhaps it'll come under more scrutiny now.
