Yes, this is what I meant. Thank you.

I meant "Nobody will make a present for him, instead they would buy something". While using futur antérieur.

Merci beaucoup !

Even in English, I'm not getting the sentence: if they buy something, by definition, they make a present, no?

The literal translation of this with a futur antérieur would be « Personne ne lui aura fait de cadeau, ils lui auront acheté quelque chose à la place » (this sounds very weird because this sentence anticipates a moment in the future when the action will be achieved and both parts mean the same thing, like "it won't be cold, there will be no light instead")

I guess I just wrote a badly thought out sentence. Yes, buying something is still a gift. I was just writing it with the context that handmade gifts are better since they're typically more thoughtful and whatnot, when purchased gifts are usually the opposite.

I see, yeah, that does sound weird. Looks like I'll have to review the rules for that tense.

Again, thank you so much for the help.

Aaaah this is a handmade vs purchased gift opposition, alright, it's "making" a gift in the sense of "crafting" it, not "giving a present". I get it now!
In French it would be: « ils ne lui auront fait aucun cadeau qu'ils auront fait/fabriqué/conçu eux-mêmes, ils l'auront acheté »
This is the same sort of tricky verb in French, because "faire un cadeau" just means "giving it". If you want to insist of the fact you craft/conceive it yourself, it is "fabriquer/concevoir un cadeau" or "faire un cadeau qu'on a fait/fabriqué soi-même".

Again, thank you so much, and I'm glad we cleared up the confusion. 🙂
