The "who can carry them" clause in the rules implies that you cannot give a Big item to someone who has no legal way of carrying it, so no, it does not go into their hand.
In general, an item in play remains in play unless you have a card that specifically says it can be taken in to someone's hand.

I would consider allowing someone to receive a Big item they could not carry IF they had a Cheat! card in hand and could play it IMMEDIATELY, but I would like to hear official opinion on that.
