You can't set up a personal hotspot, on an iPhone, with the giffgaff sim in the phone. giffgaff is not recognised as a carrier by Apple so it is blocked.

Giffgaff only supply tethering on certain goody bags.

You would need to check the terms of your chosen one.

Possibly log into their own customer forum to speak to that networks users.

Giffgaff uses the O2 network but is not part of this community.

If the user goes into the giff gaff community forum their is a write up there on how to achieve tethering on an iPhone.

It cannot be discussed here unfortunately.
