“Thank you so much! This is really thoughtful of you.”
“I love it! How did you know exactly what I needed?”
“This is wonderful, thank you! You really made my day.”
“Oh wow, I can’t believe you got this for me. Thank you!”
“This is perfect! Thank you for being so kind.”

Sample dialogue for receiving a gift:

“Emily: Hi, James! I have something for you.
James: Oh, what is it?
James: Wow, a book! Thank you so much, Emily!
Emily: You’re welcome! I know you love reading.
Emily: Do you like the book?
James: Yes, I love it! It looks really interesting.
James: I can’t wait to start reading it tonight.
Emily: I thought you might like that one. It’s by your favorite author.
