On Top of the Gifts, CX does provide an excellent travel experience. Therefore I see the gifts as a Bonus and also the appreciation of the airline.
As for the fare, I must say Back in the mid 90s, From SYD-HKG return on CX and QF = around 4200ish.
Up Until last year it is still around 4700ish
Therefore I must say the gifts does NOT neccesary bump up any price.

And how much of their profit margin would expensive GIFTS eat into, given that it is not a core product necessary to the enjoyment of the flight?
