Do catholic deacons receive holy orders?
Yes, deacons are ordained, you are a deacon once you are ordained. You are gradually elevated (if you are a transitional deacon).
If you are a deacon at church if you relocate to another church are you still a deacon?
Yes, if you stay within the same diocese. A deacon is at the service of a Bishop and is ordained into Holy Orders by the Bishop of the diocese of which the ordained deacon is a member. The Bishop may assign a deacon to any church or other position where he believes the deacon is most needed. Oft times the deacon is allowed to serve in his local parish, but he still remains at the service to the Bishop and not necessarily to his personal local parish or parish priest. If a deacon wishes to "relocate" or moves out of the diocese in which he was ordained he must make a formal request to his Bishop and to the Bishop of the diocese into which he will be transferring. Both must approve this move. Of course, in most cases, this permission is extended as there is always room for the service of a deacon or any other person who wishes to serve his new local parish. However, a deacon is an ordained minister of the Church therefore, much like a priest, he has a mark upon his soul that can never be removed, though again like a priest, he may be laitized. However, once having been ordained into the Holy Church of God, that mark on the soul can never be cancelled. Once a priest always a priest--once a deacon always a deacon. However, the permission to "practice" ones Holy Orders may be taken away or voluntarily given up under certain circumstances.

Is there an appropriate gift to give someone being ordained as a deacon?
Books on servanthood. A deacon is called to serve.
If one is an ordained deacon then becomes a minister do you have do be ordained again as a minister?
Deacon and minister are just titles within a church. Once you are ordained you technically hold all of these titles and can perform all of the duties, but can specialize in one at a time, often your church will appoint you to such positions sometimes in a hierarchy. This is really a question for your church on how they treat such titles, but I don't know of any religion that doesn't consider being ordained for life.
