giftees
Those receiving presents
Giftees are people who receive gifts.
The word follows the pattern of employee or trainee—someone on the receiving end of an action.
It appears mainly in discussions of gift-giving logistics: I have twelve giftees on my holiday list, Make sure each giftee gets a personalized card.
The singular giftee is less common than the plural.
