He was a recipient . . .
Thus, giving them an opportunity to 'give', and feel good in the act.
To the first answerer . .....
How do we (you) know that THEY accepted him as "their lord, and personal savior"? which is the requisite for receiving salvation, NO??? Is this 'assumed', merely by their 'arrival'? Remember - they reportedly practiced PAGAN astrology. . .

The wise men gave Jesus gifts when he was born and though it's not recorded in the scriptures, He might have give them a blessing, since they were already wise, maybe more wisdom and happiness :).

According the the Bible and New Testament , he was a child 2 1/2 years old and human. So no, the wisemen were sent by Harod to find and report his where abouts so he would be killed in the mass slaughter of male infants in that age range. They gave him the gift of life by leaving and breaking up and going in 3 different directions.

He was judged, crucified, died, and was buried. After which HE rose from the dead, all for our salvation. So, yes he did give the Wise Men a gift!

Are you talking about when he was born? The "wise men" were astrologers and they gave gifts to him.

He re-gifted all of their gifts by taking them and moving them one to the left. So the Gold guy got the mir the Frankensense guy got the gold and the mir guy got the frankensense.

That would have been rude. Did you give gifts on your birthday?
