It happens that we quarrel with a person, and we don’t want to have at least something on our social network page that reminds us of him, including gifts we once received from him. Yes, and gifts in VK are different.
Some of them are, to put it mildly, controversial, and many people obviously do not want them to be visible to their spouses, children or parents. But what if one of your friends gave such a gift? One way out is to simply remove the gift.
This is done very simply:
All. The gift has been removed.
But there are situations when a person, in a hurry, accidentally removes not the gift that was originally intended, but the neighboring one. For these cases, the “restore” option is provided.
Click on the word “restore” and the gift is returned. But this button only works until you leave your page or refresh it. After this, you will no longer be able to return the gift.
Therefore, when removing gifts, be careful.
New site strategy
It’s no secret to any of you that the site administration does not make any profit from freebies. Naturally, this state of affairs does not suit them. But that's not all. The fact is that when we send such gifts, we lose interest in paid ones, and accordingly, we don’t buy them, and this is doubly bad.
What do you think the ok.ru marketing department did when they weighed all this? That's right - I put the free gifts away. It’s so simple, but there is one interesting point in all this. Now we are testing the situation without them. The process is long-term, and if it gives a positive result, it will become permanent. But if such an idea does not bear fruit, everything will be returned as it was.
What's next?
We have no choice but to either wait for official free surprises to appear, or use workaround options. For example, the OK Tools extension for different browsers is capable of sending any souvenir completely without money, but in order for everything to work, you need to install the same plugin to your recipient.
By sending gifts through OK Tools, you will not get the full effect of them. Unlike official ones, souvenirs transmitted using the extension are not attached to the user’s avatar.
Instructions for sending via OK Tools
Below you will find detailed step-by-step instructions for sending gifts on Odnoklassniki.
Download OK Tools
- Open Google Chrome settings and select [k]More tools, then [k]Extensions. We marked them with numbers [k]1, [k]2 and [k]3.
- Click on the item indicated in the screenshot.
- Enter the name of our extension into the search field and press Enter.
- Install the plugin.
- And we confirm the action by pressing the button marked in the picture below.
- As soon as the plugin is added to the browser, an icon (number [k]1) will appear on its panel. Now we only need to reload the page.
- Next, go to the user we want to please and under his photo click [k]Make a gift.
- We choose any lot, even the most expensive one, and click on it.
On the social network VKontakte, the ability to give gifts to friends and just third-party users is widely popular. At the same time, the postcards themselves have no time limits and can only be deleted by the page owner.
Today, you can get rid of gifts using standard VKontakte tools in three different ways. In addition, this can only be done within your profile, deleting cards given by other users. If you need to get rid of a gift sent to another person, the only option is to contact him directly with the corresponding request.
Method 1: Gift Settings
This method will allow you to delete any gift you once received, the main thing is to understand that it will not be possible to restore it.
- Go to the “My Page”
through the main menu of the site. - On the left side of the main wall content, find the “Gifts”
. - Click on any area of the specified section to open the postcard control panel.
- In the window presented, find the element to be deleted.
- Hover your mouse over the desired image and in the upper right corner use the “Delete gift”
. - You can click on the “Restore”
to return the deleted postcard.
However, the opportunity remains only until you manually close the “My Gifts”
or refresh the page. - By clicking on the “This is spam”
, you will partially block the sender, limiting the sending of gifts to your address.
You will need to do this process as many times as you need to remove postcards from the section in question.
Method 2: Special script
This approach is a direct addition to the method described above and is designed to remove gifts multiple times from the corresponding window. To implement this, you will have to use a special script, which, among other things, can be adapted to remove many other elements from different sections.
- While in the “My Gifts”
, open the right-click menu and select
“View Code”
. - Switch to tab "Console"
using the navigation bar.In our example we use , in other browsers there may be slight differences in the names of the items.
- By default, only 50 page elements will be added to the deletion queue. If you need to remove significantly more gifts, first scroll through the window with postcards to the bottom.
- Paste the following line of code into the console text line and click "Enter"
.gifts = document.body.querySelectorAll(“.gift_delete”).length;
- Now add the following code to the console, running it.
for (let i = 0,interval = 10; i setTimeout(()=> { document.body.getElementsByClassName("gift_delete") .click(); console.log(i, gifts); }, interval) }; - After completing the described steps, each pre-loaded gift will be deleted.
- You can ignore errors, since they can only occur if there are not enough postcards on the page. In addition, this does not affect the execution of the script in any way.
The code we examined affects exclusively those selectors that are responsible for removing gifts from the corresponding section. As a result, you can use it without any restrictions or concerns.
Method 3: Privacy Settings
Using your profile settings, you can remove the section with gifts from unwanted users, while keeping the gifts themselves. However, if you have previously deleted them, no changes will occur, since if there is no content, the block in question disappears by default.
It is quite reasonable to assume that you are reading this post because you have lost VKontakte gifts.
Present
- these are beautiful symbolic images and pictures that can be given to each other on the VKontakte social network. Some of these gifts may be available to users for free, while others must be paid for with special votes.
There are people who are indifferent to this process, and there are those for whom even virtual gifts can carry a special meaning, and if they are lost, then the person’s mood can, at a minimum, worsen.
Gifts have disappeared in VK, what should I do?
What to do if VK gifts are missing?
To get started, follow the link https://vk.com/gifts. You should see your gifts in the window. If they disappear from the main page, then they can always be saved in your separate “Gifts” section of the same name, which can be found on the right side of the main page.
It is possible that the gifts simply disappeared from the main page, but they remained in your personal profile. If the problem is not solved, we move on.
VK gifts have disappeared, what to do if the first option did not help. The main thing is not to get upset or panic. On your home page, open the settings menu. Find in the left column or just in the general column a column called “My desires” and then select the “Gifts” tab. Next you will have to see all your gifts. If you want to see gifts on your friends’ page, then just open their profile and select the “Gifts” column under their avatar.
If someone tells you that they don’t see your gifts, dig into the settings. If VK gifts disappeared and you didn’t know how to return them, then try the next option. Follow the link https://vk.com/settings?act=privacy, and in the settings select the “Who can see the list of my gifts” column.
Perhaps your friend or acquaintance is simply on the list of those who cannot see your gifts, or you simply hid this option from everyone in the settings. In the same way, you can create a list of those users who can or cannot see your gifts on the page.
If you want no one to see your gifts on your page, then you need to open the “Settings” section (https://vk.com/settings) and select the “Hide gift block” checkbox on your page. If you want your gifts, on the contrary, to be seen by all users, you can also specify the accessible viewing function in the settings in the “Privacy” tab.
Gifts decorate and make our lives brighter. It's nice to receive and give gifts to loved ones, friends and just good acquaintances. In the virtual world of social networks, you can also receive a gift, and this will definitely lift everyone’s spirits.
On the VKontakte social network, it is possible to give and accept gifts to all users. With their help, it’s easy to congratulate a happy holiday or show attention to your friend. On VKontakte you can choose from gifts for birthdays and for every annual holiday that you can get for “votes”. In turn, “votes” are a universal method of payment and are counted for victories in gaming applications or purchased for money, paying with bank cards, through a mobile phone, payment systems and terminals. For some holidays, the social network offers a limited number of gifts that can be presented free of charge to any user. Such promotions are often organized on Victory Day, March 8 and New Year.
The received gifts are located on the user’s page under the avatar. When you go to the “Gifts” tab, you can view who gave it to you and when. Next to the tab is the “Hide” option, which hides all gifts from users. Each gift can be deleted by clicking the “Delete” option, which is located under the image of the gift. Deletion occurs instantly and irrevocably.
To send a gift to a friend, go to his page. Under his avatar there will be a gift icon and the “Send a gift” option. After selection and payment, the gift will appear on the user’s page. You will not be able to edit or change the entry. Therefore, do everything at once without mistakes.
Only the page owner can delete a present. The rules of the social network VKontakte state that the administration does not delete information and does not consider any requests for deletion. Therefore, there is no point in writing and asking for the destruction of a gift that was sent to a friend.
Please remember that it is not possible to delete gifts. And if you are offered the services of hackers who undertake to comply with the request for deletion, know that the money will be wasted.

Methods for deleting a gift on VKontakte
Gift settings
In order to use this method, click on the section with gifts under the avatar on your page. To delete a gift, just click on the cross at the top right.
A gift hidden in this way can still be restored by clicking the corresponding button, but until you close this section or refresh the page.
Special script
The method described above can be rationally used to deactivate one or two presents. If you need to get rid of several dozen, it is better to use a special script.
To activate it, right-click on the open section with presentations and select “View code”, and then the Console tab. Using this function, you can delete no more than 50 Gifts by default. To increase their number, scroll to the bottom of the section.
In the console input field, copy the script
gifts = document.body.querySelectorAll('.gift_delete').length;
and then press the Enter button.
Add this code and run it:
You can also restore Gifts deleted in this way before updating the page.
Privacy settings
Perhaps deleting is not the best way: these pictures may be dear to you. Each user has the opportunity to hide the display of Gifts through the privacy settings menu.
To do this, click on your avatar in the upper right corner and select “Settings”, then go to the “Privacy” tab. Here you can configure who exactly will be able to see the gifts you receive - both from a computer browser and through an application on the phone. Changes are saved automatically - no buttons need to be pressed.
Removing a gift that was given to you
Using the methods described above, you can delete all Gifts on the VKontakte website that were given to you. For a mobile phone, the algorithm is slightly different, but this will be discussed later.
Removing a gift you gave
Unfortunately, VKontakte does not have such a function - unlike in real life, the gift is not taken away. If you are not sure whether random witnesses will adequately perceive the fact of a gift, the best option is to make it private so that only the recipient can see the sender’s name and message. It is useless to pester you with questions and ask for help from VKontakte technical support - no one will provide you with such a service. Special scripts won’t help either – they can only be used to manage the content of your own page.
Removing a Gift in VK from your phone
In the mobile version, if you log in using your phone's browser, the process of deleting a Gift is no different. If you are using a mobile application for Android or iOS, this function is also available. You need to go to the section with gifts, click the menu button next to the gift in the upper right corner and select the “Delete” option from the drop-down list. Please note: it is impossible to restore the gift later!
How to delete sent gifts
Instructions
Why do you sometimes want to delete a sent gift? It happens that communication errors occur and a gift is sent to the wrong recipient. Perhaps you no longer want to communicate with a person who was close to you not so long ago. You want to pick up “your toy” like a child. Understand that your position will not change at all if you remove the gift, and the votes spent on this gift will not be returned.
It is impossible to delete a sent gift on VKontakte. It automatically passes into the possession of the addressee; it turns out that only he can remove it at your request.
Do not ask the administration for help: it is pointless. The system rules state that the site administration does not delete sent gifts, including at the request of recipients and senders.
An equally popular network is Facebook. The situation with deleting gifts is similar here. A sent gift cannot be deleted by anyone except the recipient himself. If you sent a public gift, you have the right to make it private. Change your privacy settings. To do this, move the checkbox in the corresponding menu. And that's all you can do.
The Odnoklassniki social network provides the ability to delete gifts sent to other people. Go to your page. Go to the list of sent gifts. To do this, click on the “gifts” link located on the left side of the page. Left-click on the gift you want to delete. After opening it, click on the “Delete” link.
If you can't, try contacting the administration. Find a good reason for your move. Don’t rely too much on luck: in most cases, the request will remain unanswered. Unfortunately, nothing can be done with the entire list of sent gifts. They may disappear on their own over time, however, you will have to wait a long time.
Don't get upset prematurely. A solution to their situation can be found. Try deleting the contact you sent the gift to. The gift must also be removed. The surest way is to delete your page and create a new one. Of course, you will now have to look for your friends again. But the main thing is that you will achieve your goal.
Helpful advice
Treat your gifts more carefully. After all, a virtual gift is also valuable, and you do not have the right to take it back if you have already given it to another person.
