Gives one about ten, all crumpled, to iron (8)

I believe the answer is:

presents

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gives one' is the definition.
'presents' can be an answer for 'gives' ('present' can be a synonym of 'give'). I am not certain of the 'one' bit.

'ten all crumpled to iron' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'ten' is 'ent' which is located in the answer.
'iron' could be 'press' (I've seen this before) and 'press' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'about' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for presents that I've seen before include "donations" , "special things at Christmas?" , "Press ten (anag.)" , "Awards formally" , "Hands over formally" .)
