In Tudor and Stuart times, gifts were given at New Year rather than at Christmas.
Here is a musical New Year's Gift. It's an anonymous 17th Century dance of that name from Thomas Middleton's Inner Temple Masque, or Masque of Heroes, 1619.
From BL Add. 10444

An anonymous #17thCentury #Scottish #song for #MayDay

The gowans are gay, my jo, the gowans are gay,
They make me wake when I should sleep, the first morning of May.

From Songs and Fancies, John Forbes, 1666
