You can't be a prophet to know exactly what other people want, even they don't know that themselves, and that is not the point of gifts, it's attention you get from person that gave you some gift.
I think that everyone received some stupid gifts in their life, but there is a saying in many countries - don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I personally wouldn't give Bitcoin to anyone who is not willing to first learn about it or show some interest, but I know some people who left Bitcoin for their kids as inheritance, even if they didn't show any interest before, and that is a gift.
If you know that something is valuable you will probably appreciate the gift you received more, but I could also appreciate something that has no material or economic value.
Max Kaiser for example gave a lot of Bitcoin to other people before and they lost it all, but he is not depressed about it because once you give away something it's not yours anymore.
