Many of us tend to use the two words interchangeably in most contexts. Of the two, present is the more informal. The two words are used with things given to other people without expectation of return or compensation. It is not uncommon to hear people say, I gave him a gift/present on his birthday. Both the sentences are grammatically acceptable. Careful users of the language make a distinction between the two words. A Gift tends to be much more valuable than a present. It usually passes from the rich to the poor, from the high to the low. A present, on the other hand, passes between equals or from the inferior to the superior. • The children brought a present for the Minister. • I gave him a pen as a present. • The foundation is planning to gift the land to the society. • He made a gift of two million dollars to his old university. The word gift is also used with the inborn talent or skill that one has. It is because God is believed to have given us these things. We are getting something from a superior being. Picasso had the gift of painting. M.S has the gift of singing, etc. We do not, in these cases, use the word present.

I agree with misha gift not necessarily something like present in an occasion , it could be a good situation , good person , good talent or ability that GOD gives you ,or to say that something is cheap not necessarily a thing that you could touch you can for example say this goal was a gift

i think that the meaning of 'gift' is larger then 'present', a gift can be a present ; -present: offered to u from someone, sweet thing; -gift:the meaning of the present + given from God like a talent + when we offer something to be generous, ex: to poor people; & 'present' has an other different meaning which reflects 'now'. that's what i think.

They are synonyms! But we usually use gift to describe monetary donations like " she gave a large gift to the Breast Cancer Foundation." Whereas presents are usually items given to people for special occasions for birthdays, like " I have to buy my friend a birthday present." Present can also be a time period. Like "There is no time like the present." In this context it means now, so "There is no time like now." And a gift can also be a talent like " He is very gifted in math.", meaning it comes easily to him.
