"The True Gift of Gifting" is the second of the two songs in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Christmas special, My Little Pony: Best Gift Ever. The first part is sung by Spike when he confesses to Rarity that it was the only gift he could give her for Hearth's Warming Eve, and the second part is sung by Twilight Sparkle and her friends when they realize that friendship is the best gift of all during a sequence where multiple ponies and creatures across Equestria are celebrating the holidays together.

Part 1[]
- Spike:
- I wanted to get you
- Something oh, so rare
- A gift to show I care
- But nothing can compare
- To you, that's easy to see
- But I got stressed and overthought
- Until the day was shot
- And it was all for naught
- But now it's clear to me
- I'm not gifted at gifting
- It's really pretty sad
- I tried to show I care
- But it turned out bad
- I'm not gifted at gifting
- So all that's left to say
- Is that I really hope my gifting
- Didn't ruin your holiday
Part 2[]
- Twilight Sparkle:
- The most magical gift
- That I can recall
- It could've been big or small
- Or even nothing at all
- It doesn't matter, you see
- If it's from my friends on whom I depend
- No matter what you spend
- It will be perfect to me
- The true gift of gifting
- Is what it means inside
- We can show we care
- Spreading love far and wide
- The true gift of gifting
- Is totally free
- And you're the best there is at giving it
- With the friendship that you give to me
- All:
- We've all been friends forever
- And look how far we've come (how far we've come)
- The holiday brings us closer
- And now it's time for fun (it's now begun)
- Pinkie Pie:
- The greatest gift you give to me
- Is more precious than gold
- All:
- Ah-ah-ah-ah
- Pinkie Pie:
- Never ended, always mended
- And it can't be bought or sold
- All:
- The true gift of gifting
- Is what it means inside
- We can show we care
- Spreading love far and wide
- The true gift of gifting
- Is totally free
- And you're the best there is at giving it
- With the friendship that you give to me
