Unable to activate, but don't have access to previous owner's apple id - help?

I have an iPod that I am trying to get loaded for a Christmas gift, but it won't let me activate the iPod. It's saying it's unable to activate and when I plug the iPod into my computer, iTunes is saying that I need the previous owner's Apple ID, but I do not have that nor do I have access to the previous owner. Please help!

iPod Touch (6th Gen)

You will not be able to use this iPod with the original ID and Password. Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that cannot be bypassed. See: Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
