They have released the update today (10th September) and it does fix the gift crash problem, so update as soon as you can to get back to normal gifting and playing.

When updating, I'd recommend that you first backup your game to be safe. Then quit (not just minimise) the game on your device. Do this by double tapping the home button (circle button under screen) to bring up the list of open apps - on ios7 or above swipe up on the picture of the game to quit it, on ios6 or below hold down on the icon of the picture in the baner that appears at the bottom of your screen until it starts to wobble and the press the red dash in the corner to quit the game. Quit all the open apps not just SS if you can. Then download the update. Don't be tempted to open the game straight away after the download is complete. Restart your device first to allow the changes to take effect. Hold the lock button down until "swipe to turn off" appears and swipe. Leave the device off for 2-3 minutes at least. Then turn it on and open the game and enjoy the new content.
