This doesn't parse, more than one cu in one sentence/jufra without abstractions
doesn't work out.

.a'o lo se dunda noi mi zbasu cu se gleki do

Is probably a _more_ correct version of what you tried to say.
However, {lo se gleki} is an event, no object, so this is wrong as well.

What do you want to say?
Should _receiving the gift_ make him/her happy? That would be something along
the lines {.a'o do gleki lonu do te dunda le se zbasu be mi}.

If you mean something nonspecific involving the object,
you can also use {.a'o do gleki tu'a le se zbasu be mi}.
