Pokémon Go fans are calling for big changes to the gifting mechanic
A post on the subreddit Pokémon Go titled ” Niantic, let me give this to friends, please ”, sparked a great discussion within the community.

Indeed, trainers can receive gifts from PokéStops and send them to their friends. If a trainer receives a gift from a friend, they can open it to receive a random assortment of items.
Unfortunately, trainers cannot decide which items they receive. Likewise, they cannot send items from their inventory as gifts to their friends.
Many fans in the comments agreed that this would be a very useful feature to implement. “ Yes ! My husband told me he has 11 Sinnoh Stones and I was like GIVE ME HALF “, said a trainer.

While it would certainly be very useful to be able to clear out your inventory a bit and share it with friends, Niantic would definitely find a way to balance it all out. For now, it seems like a flexible gift giving feature like this is still quite a ways off.
