giftee
One being gifted
A giftee is the recipient of a gift—the person on the receiving end of someone's generosity.
The word mirrors the donor/donee pattern: the giver gives, the giftee gets.
I never know what to buy—my giftee has everything.
Common in gift exchange contexts like Secret Santa or wedding registries.
