The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, in the words of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, bestowed upon Christians are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. CCC 1845 

The gifts are “permanent dispositions which make man docile in following the promptings of the Holy Spirit” (CCC 1830). They are received in the soul along with sanctifying grace and remain in us as permanent dispositions to help us follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit. We lose them only when we lose the state of grace through mortal sin. Each of us may have different gifts.The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: “charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity.” (Gal 5:22-23 ) CCC 1832 

The fruits of the Holy Spirit are very different from the gifts. The fruits are the effects in us of living a life according to the spirit, according to the will of God, a life of holiness. The fruits of the Holy Spirit are available to everyone who lives in the Spirit, and not in the flesh (Gal 5:19-21).
