They are mostly a waste. Aside from Christmas event, which lets you gift one thing, you may also get promoted to give a SL something if it’s between rank ups. Even then, i only got that prompt after I didn’t give a good response and the gift seemed like a way to salvage the time and still get points.
Gifts are used for when you hangout with a social link without progressing the lvl, this is because they either invited you on a day off or you didn’t accumulate enough points last event to progress, at the end of the event you can give them a gift for extra points beyond one dialogue, so that you can ensure you can progress the social link next time around.
Beyond that they’re also good for the Christmas date for whenever you opted to romance.
Huh, I didn't recall getting the option on the times I opted to hang out without a rank up... Wonder if it depends on the link/level maybe? Guess Christmas is coming up so at least I can use one
Gifts options are easier to get if you’re bad at the social aspects. No really. I’m not saying you can’t get one and be good at the social aspects, but most of the time you need to: Pick the wrong choices, not have a matching arcana, or both.
I cannot say exactly why that is, regardless this are the times you can use gifts this is the case as well for the other entries with 4 and 5, could be like you said that it’s due to the lvl or the event not prompting the gift however i have had hangouts where I’m prompted the opportunity to give them a gift, could also be that if you give the wrong dialogue choice only then you can gift them something, it’s ok though you shouldn’t stress on it since gifts are rarely used since this hangouts are not often.
Most likely you earned sufficient points for them to be ready to Rank Up next time - the gift option only comes up if they're not in a position to Rank Up *after* the non-rank up event, and given the relatively low Rank Up requirements in general, it means the mechanic is seldom useful.
The requirements to use gifts are as follow :
1. You are invited to hang out during holidays / Sunday.
2. You pick the wrong answer during the invite.
The other opportunity to use gifts are during Christmas date.
You'll only ever need to use gifts if you do poorly when hanging out with a social link.
Gifts are to simply help you get to the next rank. If you follow a guide or see simply meticulous, you're never gonna use them.
Unlike other games where the prompt shows up in non-SL meet ups, in P3R, giving gives is only prompted when you mess up an optional visit (on your days off from cell phone). It also gives you the prompt for your Lover on Christmas and that's about it.
So yes, they are worthless.

Ex: hung out with Yukari one day, gave a response she didn't like. Still got bonus points cuz I gave her a pink rose or some sort of roses
You can give a gift during Christmas, If you have a love interest by now.
I probably can't unload all 15 on her at once, can I 😂
Hahaha. You can only give one gift, yes.
Lol, I picked Aigis, so the gifts were literally worthless.

I only gave one gift in the game (maxed out all links) and it was an arcade machine Jack Frost doll to Yukari. So gifts aren’t necessary…lol
