Should be D

Me is an object pronoun, which means that it refers to the person that the action of a verb is being done to, or to which a preposition refers. So it is more appropriate here than I because sentence says that they gave presents to ... so action was done on the object..

also between me and myself, me is used more often.. myself is rarely used.. Myself is a reflexive or stressed pronoun, which means that, generally speaking, it should be used in conjunction with the subject pronoun I, not instead of the object pronoun me.
One love, one blood, one life. You got to do what you should.
