I've tested this a while back, and it seems like the key is to not accept/decline gifts too fast. I would always count 5-10 seconds in between accepting/declining parts, that way it feels like my action was registered in the server. Many times that I didn't accept any gift until about 4 hours before the next reset and I'd still receive the full 20 parts so I think it doesn't matter how many gifts you declined, but the intervals of your accept/decline action. Of course, all of that is just my theory but it has worked for me ever since.
Also, don't wait too long to accept/decline parts. I think that if your pending gifts list is too long, the system goes kaput and the older gifts (the ones sent right after reset) just magically disappear, taking one slot off of your 20-gift-limit without giving you the part. So whenever it's goal day Wednesday, I try to log-in at least every 4 hours to decline gifts until the goals are up and I know exactly what I want.
