Gifts offered by about ten different papers? (8)
I believe the answer is:
presents
'gifts' is the definition.
(I know this)
'about ten different papers?' is the wordplay.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters (letters placed in a different order).
'papers?' becomes 'press' (the newspaper industry).
'ten' is an anagram of 'ent'.
'ent' put within 'press' is 'PRESENTS'.
'offered by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for presents that I've seen before include "Hands over formally" , "donations" , "special things at Christmas?" , "Introduces" , "Hands over the gifts" .)
