Alana has it right.
Day 1 = 1
Day 2 = 2 + 1= 3
Day 3 = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6
Day 4 = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 =10
Day 5 = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Day 6 = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21
Day 7 = 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 28
Day 8 = 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 36
Day 9 = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45
Day 10 = 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 55
Day 11 = 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 66
Day 12 = 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 =78
1 + 3 + 6 + 10 + 15 + 21 + 28 + 36 + 45 + 55 + 66 + 78 = 364

Day 1 = 1 gift
Day 2 = 2 gifts
Day 3 = 3 gifts
Day 4 = 4 gifts
Day 5 = 5 gifts
Day 6 = 6 gifts
Day 7 = 7 gifts
Day 8 = 8 gifts
Day 9 = 9 gifts
Day 10 = 10 gifts
Day 11 = 11 gifts
Day 12 = 12 gifts
So 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12 = 78

a lot
1+2+3+2+1+4+3+2+1+5+4+3+2+1+6+5+4+3+2+1+7+6+5+4+3+2+1+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=363
(it's fun typing it out on the comp. then copying and pasting on the calculator)
or 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12=78
