What are Gifts on TikTok?
Gifts are virtual items you can send to show your appreciation for your favorite creators on TikTok. You can send Gifts to videos on the For You feed and LIVE videos.

How Gifts work on TikTok
To send a Gift, you'll need to purchase Coins. When you send a Gift, the value in Coins of this Gift will be deducted from your account balance. The cost of a Gift will depend on the individual Gift. The number of Coins needed will be displayed below each Gift so keep this in mind before you send a Gift.
