Sent figs with the first presents (5)
I believe the answer is:
gifts
'presents' is the definition.
('gift' can be a synonym of 'present')
'sent figs with the first' is the wordplay.
'sent' is an anagram indicator (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'first' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'the' is 't'.
'figs' is an anagram of 'gifs'.
'gifs' enclosing 't' is 'GIFTS'.
(Other definitions for gifts that I've seen before include "Attributes" , "Offerings" , "Presents or natural talents" , "Donations" .)
