Question on Gifting miles

If FF plan number 1 gifts to FF plan number 2
Are both accounts extended by 18 months?

The way I read this gifting thing is that the gifter will get this account counted as "activity" thereby extending the 18 month window for $27.50 [for the 1000 mile minimum gift]

I'm not certain that the receiver of the gift gets the same activity?

If so, then am I correct in assuming that I can extend two accounts for the one $27.50 fee?

thanks
