Where are you flying to though?
Some countries don't allow you to import animal products etc from other countries.

They would likely be considered a liquid/gel, yes. If it’s over the size limit, you won’t be able to bring it on board
I had airport security make me unpack my entire carry-on bag on my last trip, because I accidentally left a single-serving sized jam jar from a hotel breakfast, in the bottom

“Liquids, Creams, Gels, Pastes, and Aerosols: These must be in containers of 100 ml (3.4 oz) or less and placed in one clear, resealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 liter.”
They won’t count it as liquid but they will count it in the gel or paste category. I watched a woman lose a tube of toothpaste because it is a paste and didn’t meet the size constraints. I had a friend lose a jar of jam that way. Not small enough. Can you get a little cheap suitcase for your gifts that you can check?

Hahaha Last summer, I bought so much scotch and gin at premium distilleries in Scotland I had to buy a second suitcase. I could fit them all into the largest suitcase I own. The issue was it weighed over 170 lbs! 🤪 But yea, I just bought one for about £30.

the airline you are flying is completely irrelevant to airport security rules.
It would suggest you are flying out of Beauvais as opposed to CDG or Orly though. The general rule of thumb I've always gone by is "if you can spread it on toast, it counts as liquid". I've had pate and delicious lobster mousse that have been confiscated before when leaving France. I've also had to argue to bring through 100ml/100g size tins of rillette. You can get smaller tins at some supermarkets and at La Belle Iloise if thats your thing lol

It doesn't matter which airline it is - the rules are set by border security agencies. Gels, pastes, creams etc are all generally considered liquids and fall under the 100ml ea/total of 1 litre rules for carryons. You can put them in your checked bag, but since you didn't mention which country you are travelling to I'll assume USA, so they will still need to meet US entry requirements for food products e.g. animal products.
