There is evidence in the Bible that:

1) It is possible for someone in Christ to give a spiritual gift to someone else.

2) Even if this is possible, there are still conditions for someone to eventually be given a spiritual gift (as for example it needs to be in accordance with the will of the Spirit of God).

1) Someone in Christ can give a spiritual gift to someone else:

It is possible for someone in Christ to give a spiritual gift to someone else.

Paul wrote: "I-am-yearning to-see you in-order-that I-MAY-GIVE-WITH (my hands a) certain SPIRITUAL GIFT (TO) YOU" (Romans 1:11). Here Paul described how HE may GIVE a SPIRITUAL GIFT TO the believers in Rome. 

Paul said specifically: "I-MAY-GIVE-WITH [metadidómi 3330 in Greek] (my hands a) certain spiritual GIFT (to) you" (Romans 1:11). 

The Greek word used in Romans 1:11 for "TO-GIVE-WITH" [metadidómi 3330 in Greek] comes from "WITH" [meta 3326 in Greek], and "TO-GIVE" [didómi 1325 in Greek]. 

These words used are similar to when Paul wrote to Timothy about "the GIFT in you, which WAS-GIVEN [edothē 1325 in Greek] (to) you through (a) prophecy WITH [meta 3326 in Greek] (the) laying-on (of) the hands" (1 Timothy 4:14). 

Here the gift in Timothy was given specifically "WITH [meta 3326 in Greek] (the) laying-on (of) the hands" (1 Timothy 4:14), that is, with laying hands on Timothy for Timothy to be given the gift. 

And again in 2 Timothy, Paul wrote to Timothy about: "the GIFT (of) God WHICH IS IN YOU THROUGH the laying-on (of) my hands" (2 Timothy 1:6). 

2) There can be conditions for spiritual gifts to be given:

Even if this is possible, there are still conditions for someone to eventually be given a spiritual gift (as for example it needs to be in accordance with the will of the Spirit of God). 

Indeed, there can be conditions for spiritual gifts to be given.
