Gold and Frankincense have both been proposed by other answerers on this website. However, having considered the evidence, it is hard to say exaqctly which gifts were given by any of the Wise Men.

The Wise Men are not given a number in the Scriptures. Taken from the passage in which the wise men are referred to: "In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, "Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage."" (Matthew 2:1-).

By tradition in Western Christianity, we hold that there were 3 wise men from the east. This tradition dates back to the earliest centuries. Even in Eastern Christianity, it is traditional that three wise men visited the Messiah.

Traditionally the naming of these three kings has been "Caspar/Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar." Traditions, however, are not widely considered to state which king brought which gift to the Holy Child.
