My sister gifted me this plant from her work 2 months ago and now she has a beautiful new leaf. 2 lower leaves are getting a little bit of yellow tips though 😞

Beautiful! With new leaves the older ones will wilt or die to encourage new growth. If that makes sense.

It's normal for lower older leaves to die off. If you're noticing a significant loss/yellowing of lower leaves, it can often mean it's root bound, and may need a repot. And you'll want to check the roots are firm and not mushy
