Quite a lot of gifts

Gifts are special items that you choose when creating new character. There are seven of them, but each one can be obtained later in the game, so the only difference is that they will help you during the beginning. You can also choose not to take any gifts, but it is just a waste.

Bonfire Ascetic

Can be burned in a bonfire to raise difficulty of nearby area, which makes the enemies stronger (e.g. from NG to NG+, NG++ to NG+++)

Petrified Something

Can be exchanged with Dyna & Tilo (Things Betwixt) for a random item

The most valuable gifts for new players are Human Effigy, Petrified Something and Healing Wares. Homeward Bone is very easy to obtain. Bonfire Ascetic is rare to find, but it's useful only for advanced players. Seed of a Tree Giants is very rare, but not useful during most of the gameplay. Life Ring may be tempting, but 5% is a rather low increase.
