Learn the opening principles. That way, when you do not know the opening, you will be able to rely on those principles and play good moves without knowing the theory. Actually, you will often end up playing some opening theory without even knowing it.

Play sound gambits, not unsound ones.

This is not true. As a beginner, playing anything is okay, Openings are irrelevant, only middlegame blunders matter. To get better, a beginner needs to reduce the number of ridiculous blunders. Thinking about openings is not fruitful.

Usually if you're learning a gambit you also have to learn more openings/variations so as to follow up their opening.
