I like the concept of gifting, but I agree we need more control. I just checked my notifications and discovered a gift sub to a channel I only watched once and was actually intending on unfollowing (when the streamer wasn't live so it wasn't awkward). So now I feel bad someone else who actually likes the channel can't benefit from my random gifted sub. :/
I would love to be able to block gift subs from any channel or at least pass them on as o9136 suggested. I did see in this Twitch help page https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/managing-and-upgrading-a-gift-subscription?language=en_US it says "To prevent receiving gift subs from certain channels or users, utilize the block feature." but this method is impractical as it can only be used retroactively and requires you to block people you may otherwise not want to block.
