How to change the placeholder format in Checkout for the Gift sending date?

You can change the date format in the Gift Components template where you would replace the variable {{dateFormat}} and also the placeholder variable {{datePlaceholder}} as follows from:

<input type="date" class="gift-send-date" ng-model="form.sendTime" ng-disabled="inputDisabled()" date-format="{{dateFormat}}" placeholder="{{datePlaceholder}}"/>

To:

<input type="date" class="gift-send-date" ng-model="form.sendTime" ng-disabled="inputDisabled()" date-format="d. MMM. yyyy" placeholder="d. MMM. yyyy"/>

Here is how the format would look after the template change:

In case you'd like to use another format, a list of attributes that can be used in the date formats is available here.
