In English, we say "I need her" and "I gave her a gift". We use the same pronoun "her" even though in the first case it is a DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUN, the object of my need, and an INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUN in the second case -- a clarification of who received the gift (I gave a gift TO HER).

La necesito. Le di un regalo.

The first, direct form specifies gender. The indirect form has no gender, but we must use LES when talking about multiple things.

We can clarify what the pronoun stands for:

Mi amiga, la necesito. A mi amiga, le di un regalo.

In the indirect case, an A is required.
