What's the significance of the title?
Does anyone know what the title means? What it's in reference to?

There isn't one; like 'Man on the Flying Trapeze' and 'So's Your Old Man,' the title was chosen by the studio. The phrase is usually a response to a question like "How are you able to do that so well?" "It's a gift." 'Gift,' in the sense of an innate talent.

As drunkbear has already stated the "gift" means an innate talent.
I'm fairly certain that the title refers to the fact that he negotiates a great price for his orange farm. Basically the title states that Harold Bissonette has an economic talent or flair for negotiations which of course is a joke in itself.
