A gift is a small demo created specifically for a specific person or group as a sign of respect, gratitude, or congratulations. This is a kind of "digital postcard" made in the style of a demoscene. The demoscene has always been based on personal connections. Gifts helped to strengthen relationships between groups, make peace after the "wars" in the cracktro, or just to please friends on the other side of the world in the era before social networks.

Types of gifts: birthday gift (birthday greetings), wedding gift (a rare but spectacular gift for a demoscener wedding), group gift (a gift to a friendly group in honor of their anniversary or a cool release).
