The first sentence is great, but the second one has a problem.
You can say either {jIHvaD De' lI' yInob} or {De' lI' HInob}.
We know from examples that the verb prefix on {nob} can refer
either to the gift or the recipient, but none of the examples
with the prefix pointing to the recipient also explicitly state
that recipient. You are combining the two ways of indicating
who receives the gift, and it makes even less sense to me than
the "normal" unusual verb prefix usage. It might turn out that
this sort of construction is merely redundant, but it doesn't
look right.
You're actually *in* Philadelphia, and you plan to "show up only
one or two days" at the qep'a'?? bISaghbe'ba'!

Ick. It's grammatical, but why be so wordy and noun-centric?
