To gift your NFT, you can use OpenSea. You do not need to buy an NFT from OpenSea in order to use the "gift" feature, but you do need to link your wallet to OpenSea. Check to see how.
How to gift an NFT on OpenSea?
A step-by-step guide for giving an NFT on OpenSea is provided below.
Find the NFT you want to transfer after you are connected, then choose the gift icon.
Choose the icon, enter the recipient's Ethereum address, and then choose Transfer.
Remember: If you have several copies of the same NFT, "Quantity" will only appear. If you acquire multiples of specific NFT types, this could occur (usually NFTs that are of type ERC-1155).
You will be taken to your wallet to complete the transaction when making the transfer. You may view the estimated gas fee for the transaction at this time (yes, you do need to pay for the gas fee even for a gift transfer).
When the transfer is successful, OpenSea will display a success page.
You can visit Etherscan to confirm if the transfer was successful once more. You can either go directly to Etherscan and paste the recipient's wallet address in the search box, or there is a link to it on the successful page in OpenSea. The NFT should appear as a "token" when Etherscan opens the address.
Conclusion
Well, I hope now you know how to gift an NFT on OpenSea. Gifting an NFT is not only possible, but also a great idea to get new people into the NFT world.
And if you do decide to gift someone that is new to NFTs, just know that you may likely become that person's “NFT coach” - which is a good thing!
