What is the best gift for beginners and Dark Souls?

The Master Key is really the only good one because its value is diminished the further you get in the game, so having it up front maximizes its potential. If you rolled Thief, and thereby already have the Master Key, you're left with effectively two options, the Old Witch's Ring and the Black Firebombs.
