The Magi brought him precious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. (Matthew 2:11) The context show that the Magi were paying tribute to the future King of the Jews. (Matthew 2:1,2) However, apart from that, The Bible does not appear to attach any additional or special meaning to those particular gifts of the Magi.

Another perspective:

The greatest significance of the gifts was their value. Immediately after the visit by the wise men, Joseph and Mary (who were not well-to-do) were told to flee to Egypt with Jesus and remain there for some time (Matthew 2:13). The costly gifts would have provided the financial means for them to do so.
