Re: gift?
Upon brief research there is no law addressing this issue. However, I believe that if the gift was given specifically for you and not the marriage (ie. clothing), the property would be non-marital. If the gift was for the marriage (ie., furniture for the marital home), the gift would be deemed marital property.
