I believe the answer is:

talents

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'special gifts' is the definition.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for talents that I've seen before include "Last ten (anag.)" , "Skills" , "endowments" , "Gifts, abilities" , "Special aptitudes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
