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.

Frankincense was an incense intimately connected with the priesthood and temple sacrifices, foreshadowing the fact that Jesus Christ would serve as our High Priest and give Himself as the perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for the sins of all mankind (Hebrews:4:14-15; 9:11-14; 1 Peter:1:18-19).
Myrrh had a much more sobering symbolism. When a person died, this perfuming agent was wrapped with the body to help cover up the stench of death. Jesus' own body would be wrapped in linen with myrrh and aloes (John:19:39-40).
The three gifts brought to Jesus were gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These were presented to him by the Three Wise Men or Magi according to the Bible.
