Refactor models to improve consistency and relationships

Updated `Base` import to use centralized `app.core.database.Base` for consistency. Enhanced `TimestampMixin` and `UUIDMixin` with docstrings for clarity. Fixed metadata reference in `guest_gifts` table and added relationships in `email_template`.
