I’ll try to give you some hints:

Why is var myObj in your function?
What’s the value of obj and checkProp inside the function checkObj? (use console.log() )
What do you pass to the function with checkObj("gift") ?

It looks like you don’t really understand the use of functions, so I would recommend to read more about them.

use

console.log(obj);
console.log(checkProp);

inside the function checkObj to see the value in the console window.

The way it is called now

checkObj("gift");

the parameter obj is “gift” and the parameter checkProp is empty.
obj should be an object on which you perform the .hasOwnPropertry(checkProp)

You should remove your object

var myObj = {
gift: 'pony',
pet: "kitten",
bed: 'sleigh',
city: "Seattle"
};

and where you used myObj change it to obj
