You can use OpenSea to gift your NFT. To make it crystal clear that you are sending the NFT to another wallet, OpenSea features a "gift" option. To use this feature, you do not need to purchase an NFT from OpenSea, but you do need to link your wallet to OpenSea. Let's see how.
How to gift an NFT on OpenSea?
Here's a step-by-step guide to how to gift an NFT on OpenSea-
When you are connected, find the NFT you wish to transfer, then select the gift icon.
Select the icon, type the Ethereum address of the recipient, then select Transfer.
Reminder: "Quantity" will only show up if you have numerous copies of the same NFT. This can happen if you purchase more than one of certain types of NFTs (usually NFTs that are of type ERC-1155).
When making the transfer you will be redirected to your wallet to submit the transaction. At this stage, you will see the estimated gas fee for the transaction (yes, you do need to pay for gas even for a gift transfer).
After the transfer goes through, you will see a success page on OpenSea.
To double-check that the transfer went through, you can go to Etherscan. There is a link right on the success page in OpenSea to Etherscan or you can just go to Etherscan directly and paste the receiver's wallet address in the search. When the address is opened in Etherscan, you should see the NFT as a “token”
Final Thoughts
