Party behind gifts (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donates

'gifts' is the definition.
(donating is a kind of gifting)

'party behind' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'behind' becomes 'nates' (both can mean the buttocks).
'do'+'nates'='DONATES'

(Other definitions for donates that I've seen before include "Offers free" , "gifts" , "Gives to good cause" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Independent.
