Depends on the age group. Lord of the Rings is a bit more advanced, like age 12+ These are really age 7 or 8+. Fantastic book for kids maybe 3rd or 4th grade and older. They really are good books for any age, honestly, but Lord of the Rings is a more challenging read for elementary age kids.

Actually, these books are adult oriented children's books. Read Prince Caspian where God is described in an amazing way in such a way that only mature adult can appreciate.

Never read Prince Caspian but is God a woman in the book ("God is described in an amazing way in such a way that only mature adult can appreciate")

I love both but if I had to choose I'd say LOTR, J.R.R Tolkien is essentially the father of fantasy world building down to creating languages for his epic. But….both series are amazing and have been loved for decades so it's not really an either or, read both. If deciding between the two as a gift it depends on the reader: reading level/ability, interest.
Fun fact: CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien were close friends for a couple decades.

Lord of the Rings is a great series. Required reading really. However, it can be challenging for any age group. Some of that poetry, I'm a voracious reader yet when I re-read it in my late 20s, Bombadil - yikes Let alone the length of the books and size of the cast.
On the other hand, the Chronicles of Narnia are fantastic for reading to any age kid, my 4th grader really enjoyed reading them for herself. According to a review on Costco this set does include the author's original drawings, which is great for kids.
Still, both series have some pretty profound allegories and symbolism emphasizing Christian Themes. Narnia is quite a bit more blatant at it, but the depth of symbolism makes them worth re-reading as an adult if you are interested in that. Still, it's very readable for any kid, I don't think it would be bad even for an agnostic family. The Christian aspects can easily be dismissed as fantasy as well. (I doubt militant anti-Christian parents would be happy if you gave it to their kids as gift of course!)

If you can read, this is a no-brainer.
