gift bearer
One bringing presents
A gift bearer is someone who carries or presents a gift, especially in ceremonial or formal contexts.
The term often appears in religious narratives—the Magi are described as gift bearers bringing offerings to the infant Jesus—and in discussions of ancient customs where presenting gifts followed ritual protocols: The gift bearers approached the throne one by one.
