When we describe something that receive/send from other people, sometimes we use GIFT, sometimes we use PRESENT. But what is the slight difference in this context for those two words?

‘Gift’ is simply something given in any context.
‘Present’ is more to do with something given for ceremony or celebration. E.g. Birthday
In modern usage they are essentially interchangeable though.
