Based on the traditional nativity story, three wise men bring three gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh as a symbol of Jesus's ministries

Gold is represent Jesus as a King.
Frankincense is represent Jesus as a Priest.
Myrrh is represent Jesus as a Prophet.

There is another version that has been told. The three gifts are represent the life of Jesus from the royalty symbolized by the gold, to the bitterness of His death symbolized by the myrrh, a traditional Jewish burial spice.
