    These two plants were a gift and I would love to know there name (obviously indoor plants are not my forte). Can anyone tell me what there names are so I can take proper care of them?

    What you have there are a "snake plant" (Sansevieria trifasciata), and an orchid cactus (Epiphyllum).

    Looks more like an Epiphyllum to me - Cereus have upright cylindrical stems.
