Grammar
My mother bought two rabbits in Shaoxing and that was her present to for me
My mother bought a nice gift for me.
We wouldn’t say that she “bought a nice gift to me” because we don’t buy things to someone, we buy things for someone.
Similarly, we might also say:
My mother gave a nice gift to me.
because we give gifts to people, not for people; therefore, the word “for” is not appropriate there
