lynnk2021 Thank you very much for sharing this. I just read about the special machine and found it exciting. The few infos we got earlier weren't extensive so this information is very appreciated.

oh no, I am worried this will be a thing for just the lucky players once again. first, it says ' Different types of gifts will be generated on this machine (each gift will have to be filled with items). Long, round, green or snowflake gifts', so this may be randomized? second, the gifts will have to be added to the boats. So random, again? some boats will want gifts? we will have to do a lot of boats it looks like  and lastly, it says : Where you can find beautiful decorations such as skating gnomes, Christmas trees, gifts from Santa and Christmas towers. But if you feel that decorations are not for you, don't worry because in this category you will find more things to use, such as: color voucher, chick voucher, permit or improvement materials, blue print, boosters, coins, and more. so again, a random toss of luck who gets a decoration and who ends up with coins, saws and axes? and of course the gift wrapping machine should be upgraded to work faster.  Sadly, I am not so much looking forward to this event as I had hoped! |

But it will last a month I guess. 😉 starting 5th December. The main issue I see is that the gifts will change every week. You have to be lvl 17 at least.
i took a look at the link provided and started making the products and crops I see. Maybe I am producing the wrong items, but I can always sell them, lol.

Just watched Gizmo Spike's video about the Gift Wrapping Station. My takeaways are it will appear on Monday, 5th of December at 10AM UTC if you're level 17 or higher. The first two slots are free, but we'll need to spend 392 diamonds to unlock all 9 slots.

I just watched the Gizmo video too…I am not sure how this is going to go….I will definitely not expand slots, I’ll just make do with the two slots it comes with. I have a feeling the number of holly currency needed to buy things is going to be high. Have to wait and see how this all works out.

I was also wondering about the boats... will all of the boats starting Monday ask for gifts? And if it happens to be a regular weekly type boat event, for examplee- XP, extra coin, puzzle, extra expansion etc, will they also ask for gifts and then you get the holly AND the extra whatever. Or will it be like only 1 boat a day,?
I am hoping for a chill derby this week to not stress my poor old brain! Lol

If I understood her video correctly, the gifts will be used to fill 3 to 4 crates per boat. For every crate we fill on our boat or someone else's boat, we get hollies, the temporary game currency required in the catalog which will be refreshed every Monday. If we don't like the rewards, the hollies will carry over for next week. Since the Gift Wrapping Station will disappear on January 2, 2023, we must spend the hollies before the deadline.
GizmoSpike mentioned something very interesting. We won't get hollies if our crates asking for gifts are filled automatically by a boat booster. I won't make gifts nonstop because they'll take up space in my barn and we can't sell the gifts so plan accordingly.

Or will it be like only 1 boat a day,? I'm speculating the following. Every boat arriving from December 5th to January 1st will ask for gifts because Team Hay Day would like boat enthusiasts to use diamonds to call boats. I'm pacing myself because I can see myself getting boat burnout after completing many boats in a row. ;-) I think game developers call the above "feature fatigue" if we're too enthusiastic about the month long event. |

I think you are right about boat fatigue!  ... MAYBE ... just maybe I will remind myself what it is like to actually have barn space and not fret over having to sell 10 of something so I can buy 10 of something else! Oftentimes I do boats just for the clearing of barn and silo. I rewatched the videos and Gizmo did say that every boat would ask for Holly. Like lynnk2021 said 3 to 4 crates, and according to the picture each crate will only ask for 1 gift. I was worried that it would be 3 crates of 6 gifts or some unholy such. She alo clarified that the blue gift would give 20 holly, the stacked and green gifts would be 25 holly and the long would give 30 |

She alo clarified that the blue gift would give 20 holly, the stacked and green gifts would be 25 holly and the long would give 30 Yes, and you better start hoarding the products and crops that you need for producing the gifts. You have to be.level 70 and above if you want to be able to make all four different gifts. It’s level based and each gift requires some crops and products to make. gift catalog for spending the holy works the same like valley gifts. Each week some gifts to choose from, once bought you can’t buy it again. Gifts in week 1 will not be available in the second week and so on. if 2 permits will cost us 800 holies, that’s a lot of gifts to make, and thus a lot of products needed. And boat crates to fill. I am wondering if people are willing to fill flagged crates on boats and who will get the holies. Do you get them or the persons that helps. |

Gizmo said that person helping will get the Hollys as happens when you fill crates now and you get the xp and coin.

From what I understand, you get the holly from crates you fill if it is your own or someone else's but not for any that your boat booster may fill.
Holly payout is- Blue snow gift 20 holly, Stacked and green gifts are 25 and long is 30 each. My math tells me the most you can get from 1of your own boats would be 120.
Keeping in mind that there will be normal crates on boats as well, IF you aren't calling boats early and IF you have extra gifts it might be worth filling others. Kind of another balancing act... or example, if my boat came in asking for 4 long gifts, 60 milk and 12 jam....I would get 120 holly. If someone had flagged 4 long gifts I would get the same 120 holly, but not have to give up the milk or jam. Depending on if it was something like a puzzle piece boat or something else I needed/wanted, 🤔
Please... 😆, correct my thinking if I am not thinking correctly!
I do love the anticipation!

Per Gizmo Spike, whoever fills the crates asking for the presents will get the hollys. Should be interesting dynamic if I filled all my crates with presents and then flagged crates which don't ask for presents. I hope Team Hay Day had anticipated this scenario. I can't wait to see how many players will flag present crates for help. ;-) |

Funny, since the content creators released their vids I can hardly find indigo, 🍎 and 🍓 in the RSS. Looks like people also started hoarding these. 😂

Dear member,
I have a question regarding the crates which require a gift. If I am not mistaken, EVERY boat in the upcoming event will offer some crates for the gift. What is with the other crates? Am I supposed to fill them as well, or would it be sufficient only to serve the gift crates? (Time!)
I'm asking because the boat won't leave if not every crate will be filled. Due to that I have 2 possibilities:
1) Only filling the gift crates without asking for help or filling them by myself for the remaining crates. As a result being forced to wait until the boat will leave when the time has passed
2) Filling ALL crates in order to shorten the time and for max rewards. Accepting that this behaviour (filling every boat and every crate) will inevitably shorten and eat up your amount of supplies.
Finally it's a sort of prioritization, isn't it?

I am gonna cast boats away if I have to ask for help with crates that I would normally not fill myself. I think that I will try to fill all crates myself with some help from Tom and friends. Since the one that fills the crates will get the holies I don’t think filling those will be an issue.
I will wait till the first week gift catalog is there and see if it’s worth making all the gifts. I don’t intent to upgrade the station with diamonds since the machine will be gone early 2023.
Most of the items we can get in game, so if I like the decos I will go for them and the chick vouchers. Anyway, I will see tomorrow when the event starts what tactic I am going to use. Also depends on type of derby that we might get, mystery would be a nightmare.
Later this week also puzzle boat event, and global truck. So barn will be empty at the end if you don’t plan and execute this correctly to the max extent.

Finland is in Eastern Europe Timezone aka EET and is 2 hours ahead of UTC. 10AM UTC converts to 12PM EET in Finland. www.utctime.net/utc-to-eet-converter |

Kudos to the player who do both the boat and truck events and manage their inventory well . I'm only doing the present boats and wonder if they will be combined with the puzzle boats. |
