I want my gift

Sorry to hear that, but, it was probably something really cheap that wouldn't sell for more than 5 gold in the marketplace anyways. So, don't feel too worried:) Everytime I get a free gift on Gaia I usually give it away to a new person or I try selling it in the marketplace. If I can't sell it I go to the newbie forum and just give it away. Also, I make contests for funniest joke or best movie and give it away along with gold.

Okay, I actually think that I may have an answer for this now, even though I told you that I was not sure why it was doing this while we were on Gaia.

A few days ago, they took down trades and stuff because of some sort of fish glitch. Apparently millions of fish were coming from nowhere, into the trading system. It is likely that they shut down gifting with that. Also, when they shut Gaia down for Item Normalization, they trades and gifting was affected by it. So, contact a moderator, because I think that it is supposed to be fixed by now.
