Creo que una dádiva viene de Dios. Un regalo o un detalle es algo que te den tus amigos.

I think dávida I something providential, a gift from Heaven, wheras regalos and detalles are just ordinary presents.

Annie, I think the word don is usually used with respect to gifts from God - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015
Although, it's possible that the word 'dádiva' may also be used in this way - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015
