An indirect object indicates the aim of the subject's action. It represents the person or thing that is receiving the action. Most of the time it is accompanied by a preposition -para (for), a (to)- and it answers the questions to whom?, or for whom?

María va a comprar un regalo para mí.
- María is going to buy a present for me.

What is the direct object? - un regalo
Who will receive the present? - yo (mí)
What is the indirect object? - mí

"mí" is the indirect object because it tells us who the present will be given to.

Another example:

Fue mi novio quien me dio esta pulsera.
It was my boyfriend who gave me this bracelet.

What is the direct object? - esta pulsera
Who received the report? - me
What is the indirect object? - me

"me" is the indirect object because it tells us who the "pulsera" was given to.

Los libros son para nosotros.
