Below is the nicely written post by Eike from the
MW LootLady Blog, and also one of the script writer from Team Spockholm. The post consists of a few Spocklets which can be used to send/accept gifts easier.
There is another tool, Massive Sender, which was written by dakam(writer of the FB MafiaWars Addon), have also been released.

Zynga broke the Facebook side of gifting exactly 2 weeks ago and it took
some time for us to figure out what they changed. We've tried a lot to
give you back the old, perfectly working gifting system where you could
just create your gift links, share them with your friends and select
those gifts that you want.
As far as we know now, these times are over. We figured out a way to
create working gift links, but they only work if that person actually
sent you a gift. Now that gift is in your ZMC anyway, so the giftlinks
are useless.
The ingame gift sending process is a disaster. Only 50 friends per
click, slow responses and annoying FB popups. Gift receiving is equally
annoying. The ZMC is a mess, always jumping up and down causing you to
click the wrong buttons and losing gifts and not sending them back.
That is why Team Spockholm created and modified Spocklets to help you
with the process of sending and receiving gifts from your friends.
The new tool for sending gifts is the Gift Blaster. You can get it on the
Spockholm Beta Page. You can also add it to the toolbar using this code:

Jen already wrote about it
here.
You can use it the following way. Start it up and wait until the "Select gift" part is loaded.
Now you can click on "Load Family", "Load Mafia" or add your own list of Facebook IDs.
You can select the gift you want to send from the drop down menu.
Now press the "Send to all" button and see it amazingly send the
selected gift to everybody. Please mind the warning, the gift sending is
really painfully slow from Zynga's side.
If the sending process stops, or you press the "Stop"-button, you can
always continue to send to the remaining receivers by just pressing
start again. This way you can even change the gift type you want to
send.
Now watch your mafia sending you gifts back, overflowing your ZMC with requests.
This is what I got yesterday in my ZMC:
Now, of course you want to accept your gifts, too. That is why we updated the ZMC agent, which can also be found on the
Spockholm Beta Page, to allow you to select which gifts to accept.
The ZMC Agent hangs into your Zynga Message Center and allows you to
drag and drop the gifts you want, and the gifts you want to ignore. Use
the top button to select if you want to use the "Accept Gift and Thank"
or the "Accept Gift"-only buttons.
The ZMC agent will then run and accept or ignore your gifts.
If you want to keep your gifts for later, there is a very experimental spocklet on the
Spockholm Experimental Page.
Run the "Get Gift Links" Spocklet, and you will get a list of all your
gifts links that you can copy for example to a word or google docs file.
This way you can accept them later, even if they were overwritten with
new ones in the ZMC.
If you click on a gift to accept it, don't be surprised to see only a
bunch of characters. The success message is at the end of the mess:
We hope these tools help you with your gifting, of course we would really like to have our gift links back.
