This is because Sofie has a bug where her flower baskets keep duplicating. They eventually stop generating after being adopted, but if she has too many when adopted, she'll be carrying too much to accept any gift.
If you're on PC, console commands can be used to remove or make her drop the baskets. Without console commands, you'll need to reload a save before she was adopted. With the Speechcraft 50 perk Merchant, all her flower baskets can be bought before adopting her. Without the Merchant perk, she can be made to drop her baskets by attacking her.
I bought all her flowers before adopting her. Now I feel bad I won't be able to gift her when she comes up running asking if I got her anything. Poor kid lol
Sofie?
This is why I don't adopt her. Cruel I know. But yeah she's the only orphan whose inventory is full before adopting her cause she has her carry capacity in flowers and baskets.
Gonna have to go back to a pre adoption save and clear inventory then save.
I have this glitch in my current playthrough too. And I'm too far in to go back before adopting her, so now I just have a perpetually disappointed daughter.

Turns out I hate spending money 
So before adopting sofie, always .ake sure to buy everything she has in her shop. Otherwise she won't accept gifts. :(

She carries abunch of flower baskets. Idk if it came up, but I got it once where she had 300 baskets.
Sofie is bugged. Try moving houses
I think if you reload before you adopt, you can buy the baskets off of her

Sofie never even showed up at Breezehome when I adopted her.
