If the trainer doesn't have one, they can get Gifts by spinning PokeStops, or if their Buddy Pokemon finds one. Pokemon GO Gifts contain an assortment of items, including Poke Balls, Max Revive, 7 km eggs, and the postcard from the PokeStop where the Gift was obtained. The latter is an extremely useful item, as collecting postcards is the only
