my guess.

on line 6 you wrote:

     amount_of_time-=1

you didn't define "amount_of_time" as a start.

therefor you can't take of it's value by one.

If you look at the error message, you'll see what's wrong:

NameError: name 'amount_of_time' is not defined

And another error message, if you'd fix the above one:

NameError: name 'gift' is not defined

Both of these variables exist only within the timer() function, so trying to access them in the birthday() function is not going to work.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve in your code. Maybe you can tell in a few sentences what it's supposed to do and then it would be easier to find a proper fix for your code.

One more thing- I see you import time and use the sleep function, but you need to write it like that: time.sleep(1)
Otherwise it doesn't recognize it as a function..
As Peter said, give us some more context so we can help..

Possibly globalizing the variables will help:

import time

global amount_of_time

global gift
Sam=dict(age=10, birthday="March 23rd", real_name="Samuel", nickname="Sam")
def timer (amount_of_time,gift):
    while amount_of_time!=0 and gift!="":
        sleep (1)
        amount_of_time-=1
    return amount_of_time
def birthday ():
    Sam["age"]+=1
    print (f"It's your birthday Sam! You are now {Sam['age']} years old! I got you {gift} for a present" if amount_of_time!=0 else "oh no you ran out of time")
birthday()
