I don't know about UK, but in Germany the Customs don't always believe that it is a gift.
Many times they charge you the import duty. -

You will be liable for VAT (currently 17.5%) on the value if it exceeds £40 (see HMRC). This will need to be paid to the courier company before the shipment is released from customs.
