A friend recently gave me this plant as a present. So far I have no experience with potted plants, but for now it is doing quite well with plenty of daylight and multiple small doses of water throughout the day. If I knew what kind of plant it was, I could take even better care of it.

Could this be it?

Looks like a perfect match, thank you so much! : )

No problem!

It is a poisonous cottage garden favourite because it flowers in the depths of winter.

If it is that, warning if you have small children/ pets:

Yeah, I just read about that, but it's no issue. There are no children nor pets around my place.
