She received a gift relevant to the number of the day in the Twelve Days of Christmas so the answer is
1 + 2 +3 +4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 +10 + 11 + 12 = 78
However if you count the partridge and the pear tree as two gifts you get 79.

The gifts are: 12 Partridges in pear trees 22 Calling birds 30 French hens 36 Turtle doves 40 Gold rings 42 Geese a-laying 42 Swans a-swimming 40 Maids a-milking 36 Ladies dancing 30 Lords a-leaping 22 Pipers piping 12 Drummers drumming Before folks say I'm wrong, stop and think about it For twelve days the singer got something from their true love, each day brought something new. But it also brought each of the gifts from the previous days. So what was new each day was: 1st day A Partridges in a pear tree 2nd day 2 Calling birds 3rd day 3 French hens 4th day 4 Turtle doves 5th day 5Gold rings 6th day 6 Geese a-laying 7th day 7 Swans a-swimming 8th day 8 Maids a-milking 9th day 9 Ladies dancing 10th day 10 Lords a-leaping 11th day 11 Pipers piping 12th day 12 Drummers drumming Now if you look at it you can start doing the math. Each day for twelve days the singer got a partridge in a pear tree for a total of twelve partridges in pair trees. For eleven days they got two calling birds for twenty-two calling birds. And so on. As for who sings it exactly, can't answer that. I was taught in elementary school that it may actually have dated back to the middle ages and may have been a prince or king giving the gifts to a princess or queen. So the singer was the princess or queen and they were singing about the prince or king.
