Can I just say for once and for all that, that the word "gift" is not a verb? In the past five years or so people have started "gifting" each other all kinds of items. Christmas and birthdays are particularly bad for this. But there's really no need to "gift" something to anyone since the appropriate verb associated with the NOUN gift is "give."

Besides, even if you think it makes the present sound all new-agey, you should know that this word has now been co-opted. I even noticed "Gift It!" as a slogan at a Dairy Queen on Fourth. So let's all just quit gifting and get back to giving.
