If I were to translate that into the subjunctive what sounds more better "avísame cuando hubieras visto un regalo que te gusta" or "avísame cuando veas un regalo que te gusta"?

You don't need to use the imperfect subjunctive because you're talking about the future.

Avísame cuando hayas visto/veas un regalo que te guste.

(que te guste) because you still don't know if this gift exist... it can't please you if it doesn't exist.
