If the gift value exceeds the limit and it's delivered from outside of EU yes you will. Same way if it was a christmas present sent over.

The limit here is the price and not the quantity right? Can conclude that a gift is zero value since it is a gift

You can claim it's valued at zero and the customs will estimate it's retail value and use that for calculation instead because that's the actual value of interest (retail value).
