Allows; gifts (6)
I believe the answer is:
grants
This clue is a double definition.
'allows' is the first definition.
('grant' can be a synonym of 'allow')
'gifts' is the second definition.
(I know this)
(Other definitions for grants that I've seen before include "Vouchsafes" , "Agrees to, allows" , "Allows or bestows" , "Donations or subsidies" , "Awards or bestows" .)
