The Festive Shopping Strategy Thread

Thank you all who helped with the numbers

I'm in

 

Whew! Too many events, takes toooo much time. I think I'll join those skipping this one, in favor of RL! Lol!

Hoping for Success to those going for it!!

 

A mod answered my question. Posting it here for all to know:

Hello habalala

Each general reward is given for each gift wrapped. For each animal, that is 3 gifts wrapped, 3 general rewards given.
Just for clarification, though there are 4 choices shown between wrapping paper and gifts, you will only make 3 gifts for each character.

Knowing this, I think I'm in..

 

Thanks Moraine, pnp & illy for the numbers and strategy!
Any shopping spree I'm up for!!!! I am definitely in!!!
Thank you habalala for the clarification on animals and gifts!!! Makes a big difference! 4 hour crop fits perfectly in with my schedule!!!

I sincerely hope that all of my dear friends here have come to their senses regarding this event.
If not, maybe you will feel better soon.

 

YAY! Illy won something - is it 7 Wilsons? Let's go see!

Back to topic - who am I kidding? Of course, I'm in with this junking event!

 

Oh puppies, IMHO you have to choose
1. Go back to skool
2. Get a caffeine drip
3. All of the above. (Imagine, school on caffeine!) (I did it wronged)
Thanks, Moraine, for getting us started.
Junks, junks and more ..... *yawn*... zzzzz

The line between bravery and stupidity is very thin and at times blurred. Think I was on the wrong side of the line this time.

 

I respectfully disagree Moraine. You most definitely (IMO) were not on the wrong side. It does take courage to take the lead and I appreciate all who do. I don't always have time, and as you see, I make mistakes too. Please don't be embarrassed or discouraged from starting an event thread again in the future. It is always nice to have a place to gather to talk about the event, ask questions, get muddled thinking clear, learn new farming tricks we didn't know (or have forgotten) and just have some camaraderie.

Just my two puppy CC

 

I do not have the Hit Singles Shop. Do I need it to complete this event? It says we only have to complete 3 packages does this mean we can skip ones we don't have? Does anyone know? I'm a bit confused.

 

Ditto!! It took me a long time to get up the courage to post anything other than a neighbor request. I take heart in seeing so many farmers venturing into the comradery of any forum.

Yes stacymaya, you can skip the Hit Singles.

 

7 wilsons

Oh no, you were not Moraine.

I fully agree with you Pups.

I think we can skip. Please read the following:

Thanks Habalala.

Me too, Illy.

Wow, Cassie.

 

285 gift boxes from forget-me-nots, with miscellaneous trees, a menagerie, and 1 guinea pig. Will do this event here and on bear, but mini me is sitting this one out in favor of growing anaconda food. Good luck everyone, have fun!

 

That's the bliss of stupidity, knows no boundaries

Sounds like the boxes are dropping all over the place Mine should stack up to a nice cc and EP bonus.

May the drops & luck be with us all. Go farmers!

 

well it's easier than I thought - 3 out of 4 choices and you can repeat choices if you want to!

 

Thanks for the superb info!

 

In my market I tried to investigate what is the price for "fir cones", didn't find any but instead "pine cones" but together with a drawn fir. Does really BP mean that fir and pine is the same or is it only a badly drawn tree ..... and what am I supposed to deliver in the event, pine or fir or perhaps ice fir?????

 

The event window shows pine cones are needed
