isnt the giver the person getting the item stolen?

What he meant is that the clause you quoted applies to giving, but not thieving. In other words:

• When giving, the giver gets to choose what card to give you.
• When thieving, the victim does not get to choose what card is taken, the Thief does. There is no giver in this case.
