A "Random" gift is a thank-you from a friend to whom you sent a gift. Here is how this wiki describes them:

''Thank you Gifts - these gifts are automatically generated by the game when a player presses 'Thank' after accepting either a Free Gift or an Inventory Gift. Thank you gifts do not come out of your Inventory when you send them to your Friends. You cannot control what the actual gift will be when you send a Thank you Gift, the item is chosen at random by the game from the pool of Fixers (combining elements) in the game. Thank you gifts always have the image of a Gift Box when you receive them in the 'Mine' tab (the gift inside will not be revealed until you exit the Gifting Window after accepting the Thank you gift).''

I'll add this:  If you hit "Accept all and say thanks" you will be sending a random gift to all the friends who gifted you, BUT you will not know which friend gave you which gift -- random or otherwise. You can sort gifts by using the text box on the lower left. For instance, if you type "gold thread" in the box, all the friends who gave you Gold Thread will be grouped there. If you type "Random," all the thank-you gifts will be grouped.
