Question
What are the ways in which it is permissible to give a gift on Shabbat?
Answer
A. It is permissible to give a gift on Shabbat for the purpose of a mitzvah. B. Items and foods needed for Shabbat itself may be given on Shabbat. C. If before Shabbat, the gift is transferred by having a friend lift it or by giving a friend a cloth and having him lift the cloth, thereby acquiring the gift for the recipient [and it is even possible to transfer to a minor, Choshen Mishpat, Siman 243, סעיף 18].
