There are a few possible reasons.  Here are four good ones to start .........

(1) People may be sending gifts to the wrong name.  Your name is lilarose92 Resident .  If they know you by a Display Name that you have chosen, the vendor will not recognize it.  That's like a nickname .... handy for sharing with friends but it's not your "Real" name -- the one you log in with.  A confused vendor will not send anything and might not even send your friend an error message.  Ask your friends to check their Transaction History to be sure that the sale actually went through.

(2)  Maybe you were not in world when people were sending you gifts.  Each of us has an "in box" that holds IMs, group messages, group invitations, notecards, purchases, and things that people give us when we are not in world to receive them (or when we are in busy mode).  If you receive more than 25 things, the "in box" gets jammed and refuses to accept any more. The extra thgings are not returned.  They are discarded ... lost forever.

(3) Maybe you DID receive them, but you refused delivery because you didn't know what they were, or you didn't recognize the person who was sending you stuff.  That's actually very smart.  If you accept gifts from strangers, you could be getting items that damage your avatar or prove embarrassing when you open them.  As a general rule, try to avoid accepting things unless you are sure that you at least know the person who is sending them.

(4) Maybe you did receive and accept them, but you don't know where they are in your inventory. It's really easy to misfile things.  Open your inventory and select the Recent tab.  Then click the gear symbol at the bottom and select "Show Filters".  A new window will open.  Change the Days indicator to show you everything that you have received for the past week or so.  You should be able to find misfiled gifts that way.
