To be gifted doesn’t carry the same meaning and English and Spanish. If you want the meaning of this expression, you’d say ‘está tocado/a por la varita’, but still there’s a confusing expression you might hear people use with two distinct meanings:

-¡Mirá el precio de esa tele! Re barata.
-Sí, la verdad que está regalada.

The opposite is ‘un robo’ or ‘un choreo’ (a rip-off):

-¡Mirá el precio de esa tele! Muy cara, ¿no?
-Sí, la verdad que es un robo/un choreo.

-No camines por ahí de noche porque estás regalado.

-No saques el teléfono en la calle porque quedás regalado. Te lo sacan al toque.
