You gift card will likely have arrived since your post to the community.

However, if not, Apple Support's online article (link below) has some tips that may help.


Gift apps, media, and more from Apple - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"How to resend a gift from your iPhone or iPad

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap your name.
  3. Tap Media & Purchases, then tap View Account.
  4. Sign in to your Apple Account.
  5. Tap Gifts.
  6. Tap the gift that you want to resend.
  7. Make sure the recipient's email has been spelt correctly. If you need to edit the recipient's email address, tap their email address, then tap it again and enter the correct address.
  8. Tap Resend Gift. If you can't see Resend Gift, it has already been redeemed."
