This must mean "The gift that was found is not for you".

<pre>

      The broken toy
      The bitten postman
      The expected gift
      The eaten cake    (dodgy)
      The found gift    (ungrammatical)

</pre>

English, she is not so simple :-(

I'm glad you listed those examples. Participles as adjectives do cause confusion.

I think that "The gift found is not for you" is correct, as opposed to duo's translation.
