I was at Walmart recently and the lady in front of me was buying her Christmas presents with her EBT card. The "workaround" was that all the presents were gift-basketed styles of things that could be eaten, complete with wrapping etc already on it. Some of the items did qualify for EBT, others the computer refused to accept as an EBT item even though it was "food". The ones that didn't qualify, she didn't buy.
