sharp kick in the stomach or what.. i know my family don't support me and they don't like me being part of events- christmas, birthdays, easter, what ever else... but to be told that at 6 in the morning... i feel really hurt.
That's very unpleasant.

What caused such behaviour?

Turning the other cheek is probably best. Maybe send her the gift with a note saying you hope your relation will change, improve, and though she isn't receptive to your love, you'll continue to give it. Just a short note.

As long as you do what you can. Then don't invest more time into it: it's her, not you. You can be happy without their love, even on days like these.

Be the loving, kind Stoic. If it's meant to get to you, show them/her it doesn't. Be undeterred.
