TikTok has provided creators with a broader platform to connect with their followers using the live streaming feature to interact with them in real-time. The app has enhanced the experience by introducing 'TikTok Gifts' purchased with the help of accumulated coins in your wallet. The users can use their real money to purchase these gifts which are in the form of icons or animations and add it to the creator's earnings. But there is a catch, the followers can only send gifts to their favorite creators during their live sessions.

These virtual gifts are to be purchased with the help of coins and each one has a different value as all the gifts cannot come in the same range. But how can one gift these virtual presents? Let's have a look at the steps:

2. From the dropdown, select the balance option which shows your current wallet balance and includes coins.

3. Once you have confirmed the coins, you can move to the livestream of the creator to whom you wish to send the gift.

4. Click on the pink gift box displayed at the bottom of your screen and choose whichever gift you would like to shower your love with.

5. Once you purchase it, the creator or the receiver will get a notification of the gift. Also, the other viewers can clearly see your gift as well as your user ID. 

TikTok has more than 100 gifts that one can purchase using coins. Some of the most popular ones include Little Crown, Bear Love, Confetti, Ski Goggles, Travel Trolley, Garland Headpiece, Roman Empire, Corgi, Forever Rosa, Spaghetti Kiss, Love Balloon, Gaming Chair, Airship, Frog Prince, etc. In order to purchase any of the gifts from the list, you need coins, and there are different pricing plans that you can opt for based on your purchasing power and gift selection.
