Question about gifting?

As soon as the value goes back up you should have immediate access to contributor giveaways once you have the "required value", I believe. :o

As soon as your contributor value increases you can enter contributor value giveaways (for the amount you have).
It can take up to 15-20 minutes maximum for the site to increase your contributor value and it usually does it right away.

hmmm mine still says contributor only when I try to enter contributor giveaways :/

Remember there's a large range of contributor only giveaways. If you gave away $100 worth of stuff, and someone makes a giveaway with $101 value required, you still won't be able to enter... Good luck! :)
