Both can be used interchangeably when referring to a physical object that you are giving.

But gift can also be used in reference to giving something that is not physically there. It can also mean to have a special skill for something.

There are so many presents under the Christmas tree.
I got you a gift.
I left your present at home.
I forgot to get John a gift.

He gave the gift of laughter.
He has a gift for learning languages.
I got him a gift voucher.

Present also has many other uses and meanings - let me know if you want me to go into detail.

Gift and Present mean the same thing, depending on the context.

If you are giving someone something, you can say
“I got you a gift”
Or
“I got you a present”.

Gift can also mean a skill that someone has.
An example of this would be “she has a gift for painting”, which means they are talented at painting.

Present can also mean that someone is there.
Example: “John was present in English class”, meaning John was IN class.
