Difference between “faire plaisir” and “plaire”

If I say :

Ton cadeau me fait plaisir et il me plaît.

I’m not being redundant, I express two different ideas.

Ton cadeau me plaît :
I’m talking about the present, I like it, I think it’s nice, useful, etc.
Ton cadeau me fait plaisir :
I’m talking about the gesture involved and not about the nature of the present. I appreciate receiving a gift from you, I’m happy about it. Faire plaisir allows you to express an emotion, a feeling.
