Gifts in Pokemon Go are collections of useful items that can be sent or received by players to their friends. Players can come across gifts occasionally after spinning Photo Discs at a Pokestop or a Gym. Even their Buddy Pokemon will sometimes carry a Gift for them from a Pokestop. Players cannot open these by themselves and instead have the option to send them to their friends. To do so players would have to add their friends using their Trainer Codes.
