Widget is standalone (mostly UI) component (see Web Components). Gadget is nothing in HTML5.

It really depends who you ask. In the context of wordpress, a widget is a line of repeatable HTML. So for your header, sidebar or footer, you can use a widget to make that item show up on every page of your website without having to type the same thing out on every page. A gadget is nothing as far as i know, but could be part of the terminology for yahoo or google or some other site that produces widgets that you can post on your website.
