How Do You Invest Monetary Gifts?

If you receive a monetary gift, which doesn't count as income and which you pay no taxes on, how would you invest it for best access during early retirement?

For most people brokerage account and/or tIRA/rIRA account. No different than any taxable income you have. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Regular taxable brokerage, assuming all tax deferred accounts are full.  If you're not already maxing out 401k, HSA, and IRA, then you should increase contributions to those, and spend down the gift money on regular expenses.
