Bonafide gift are send by somebody who in normal course of life give gift to each other .No payment is made by you directly or indirectly. There is no legal definition of bonafide gift is given under Customs law .But it is decided based on available evidence whether it is malafide or bonafide gift.As per my understanding the goods should not be declare gift just to avoid duty,even though one has bought himself.
