Pre-Purchase as a Gift retain Pre-Order bonuses ?

I was under the impression than a game that was purchased before it's release and kept as a Gift in the inventory was identified as a Pre-Order copy and retaining the Bonuses that would come with it. In the case of Witcher 3 there is no mention at all of Pre-Order or Pre-Purchase or anything of the kind on the Gift description.. is there a chance that the gift doesn't get the Bonuses for whoever activates it after the release?

Was there a previous occurence of a game with Pre-Purchase Bonuses but that the gift would not get those if it was claimed after the release date?

Please no opinions.. I'd like to know on facts.
