I had the same problem with the party boat as FosseyL.
What I did was go to December 31st, even though my extra 2 days would put me into 2014.
Open the app and go into the party boat without collecting the gift.
Double click the home button and click the settings, set the date back to normal time.
Go back into the game to collect the party boat bonus.
Then I double clicked the home button to totally close the game.
When I opened the game again it was reset.
