Mathew 7:7-11 “Keep on asking…Therefore, if You,although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him.”
So, the question remains. Is the scripture(s) showing the knowledge of how to give a gift, what the gift is or could a simple reading of the words be considered a gift or...

what that scripture is saying is that if wicked people give their kids gifts, God will definitely give them to his children (ie us)

Matthew 7:11 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
New International Version Hebrew Greek Study Bible
Think of the love you have for your children(if you were a parent), and how you would give them anything, God has the same love and generosity for us , if we ask him, and he wants us to have that same love, and generosity towards others.
To answer your question, both.

It is showing that you wouldn't give bad things as gifts. But, neither would you give a good thing with bad motives. Also, The scripture isn't talking about gift giving, it is referring to prayers.

I belive the gifts that are given to your children are the same as blessings, for example, you can bless your children with knowledge, or you can bless your children with your love and so on. The reading of the word to your children and the explanation of what you have read to them can definately be considered a gifft or blessing. Help any?
