NO...
The reason you sue is that someone has broken the terms of a contract in someway.
- A contract is any form of agreed whether agreed verbally, written, or spoken, however it must have required factors (such as an offer, an acceptance, capacity, intention to great legal relations, both parties must put something into the contract, etc...)
- Therefore, as this is a one way thing it is not a legally binding contract due to the fact you have not given anything up, therefore no possible terms could be broken.
UNLESS...
-The only way you can sue the other party is if this gift harmed you (eg. a exploding package) or is illegal (eg. ivory, drugs, etc).
-Additionally this circumstance could change from a gift to a contract if you exchanged if gave away ANYTHING,,, this could be anything such as quiting smoking in return a pair of trainers, or even giving your best friend a muffin in exchange for a porche then this turns into a contract (although thats when it gets complicated as you have to prove that things exchanged are of 'reasonable value' - whether monetry to either parties or even sentimental value).

Why not just return the gift? Sounds to me like this would be just another frivolous lawsuit. To answer your question, you can sue over anything, but chances are the case would get thrown out before it went to court.

No.
No property was exchanged for the gift, so there is no basis for the suit.
(just re-gift it to someone else)
