Welcome back to SL.

There are many possible answers.

1. If someone gave you a shirt, it ought to end up in your system Clothing folder, but maybe you have been looking in Objects.  Check different system folders.

2. If someone gave you several items in a folder, it will have its own name instead of going into one of the system folders.

For either of those two first possibilities, try using filters in the Recent tab of your inventory. Just click the little gear icon in its lower left corner and select Show Filters.  Then change the number of days or hours to have it display things you have received recently.  See >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Using-your-inventory/ta-p/1370823

3. Someone may have given you something, but you didn't accept it.  You do need to click the "Accept" button on your screen or in an IM, or else the object won't go into your inventory.

4.  Someone said he was going to send you something, but he either forgot to do it or he screwed up.

Also, if you are in Busy mode, anything sent to you will automatically be rejected.
