No, you cannot gift a skin from your Fortnite locker; you can only gift items that are currently available in the Item Shop, as Epic Games confirms, because gifting items from the locker would allow for trading and an unofficial marketplace, which Epic Games notes goes against their rules. To gift, you must purchase an item directly from the Item Shop and send it to a friend, ensuring you meet eligibility requirements like having Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled and being friends for at least two days.

Is it possible to transfer skins from one account to another in Fortnite?
No, you cannot directly transfer Fortnite skins between different Epic Games accounts; items are permanently tied to the account where they were acquired, as the account merging feature was discontinued, but you can access skins across different platforms (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch) by linking them to the same Epic account, making them available as long as you use that single account.
