giftless
Lacking any presents
Giftless means without gifts—either having received none or possessing no natural talent.
Someone might feel giftless at a birthday party where others got presents, or describe themselves as giftless in music or sports.
The word is uncommon and slightly literary: She stood giftless among her siblings, each blessed with some obvious talent.
