Parting Gift is an Exotic Powercard in Bloons Card Storm. It causes the selected Monkey on the player's side to deal damage to all Bloons on the opponent's side based on its Attack Power, ignoring Ammo costs and On Attack effects, then removes the selected Monkey from play.

Not many Monkeys have enough base Attack Power for Parting Gift to be worth it as a last ditch board clear, in exchange for removing one of your friendly Monkeys. However, if placed on a high-damage Monkey, such as a Super Monkey, it could save yourself for a few more turns.
For comparison, Thunder Druid's On Play effect does 80 damage for 7 Gold. Besides damage-ramping Monkeys, few Monkeys have 80 or more base damage.
A Spike-o-Pult or Wizard Monkey with lots of buffs can be used as a last resort, but their high stats are generally better for sustained defense.
Like Favored Trade, Parting Gift will open up a Monkey slot for Expert Negotiator. However, this combo is quite expensive, costing 11 Gold in a single turn.
With an empty Monkey slot, combining Expert Negotiator into Parting Gift on the stolen Monkey allows the player to defend against the opponent's high-HP swarms in a single turn while preventing the opponent from stealing back that stolen Monkey.
If the player uses other powerful monkeys, the freed slots can let the opponent steal one of those monkeys.
