The gifting event is a great one for all players. New players have an achievable 5* that is nice enough even though it can't be evolved. That's really helpful to a newer player, or really anyone who still needs to fill out their quest or raid deck but can't get everthing to +2 yet. With some time to grind and help from your union mates, anyone can achieve the gift 5.

And the gift event is also great for veteran players. Every gift actually turns into something, and I found it a good way to farm for spirit gems.

One more thing I like is that the gifts need to be reciprocated, so that alt accounts can't be set up just to send gifts or other problems with a one-sided someone only gifting but not receiving issue. And I like the option to "match" gift to get an extra one in each cooldown period if you both are pretty active.

In short, gifting is a really great event to keep in the mix. It's good to stock up on some things and help your new union mates / new players without too much stress.
