Antoninus, your new tagline has subject-verb disagreement. LOL...what's he supposed to do? The greatest gift ARE siblings? You have a singular subject and a plural "object" connected by "be". You can avoid the problem by pluralizing "gifts" but let's suppose you want to keep it singular.

I wrote “object” but predicate nominative was the phrase I was trying to think of.

Wrong! My new tagline had a subject-verb disagreement.
You're on a role today!
