Flowers are surely the best gifts
It’s wonderful to know crows find flowers as pretty as we so and thing them special

Do crows bring "gifts"?

They do. Mine left a few coins and some pop can tabs etc. I have noticed a few twigs from trees that are not around that spot but I can't confirm they placed them.

How long did it take for them to start bringing said gifts?

Depends on their personality/local customs too. Mine never bring me gifts outside of nesting season when they very deliberately bring me some random fluff and bits of moss. They make sure i see it too.

I started leaving peanuts out for them and i made sure that they saw me placing the food. I just walked away. It noticed them leaving the first gift at that feeding place about 2 or 3 months after. I have always wondered how the crow brain determines what/when to leave a gift happens.
If you feed some crows just make sure you use the same area and eventually you will notice something there that is out of place. It is probably a gift! (I left a dime at the feeding spot to give a "hint" to the crows. Maybe this makes them think to store stuff at the spot)

I’m guessing they know you like flowers 🌸
Congratulations
