Hello 👋
I am brand new to bonsai and got one gifted to me as a house warming gift.
I was hoping someone could help me ID what type of tree this is so I can take care of it!

After reading some threads here I will definitely be moving it outdoors.
Thank you

It’s a juniper, but beyond I can’t say. It needs to live outside, or it will die a slow death.
 
Mallsai juniper which means watch the soil and watering. Typically mass produced junipers like this are potted in as soil that stays too wet. Junipers like a free draining soil mix. You might want to consider repotting this next spring
 
It looks like a pretty young tree with mostly juvenile foliage, with some of the new growth becoming mature scale foliage. I'm not knowledgeable enough to identify the species.
