Perhaps it's a weird time but it may give an insight about Team Hay Day's preference to address bug reports for a new feature. 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-converterNot a great time for us in Australia though, it will be 9pm here. The normal derby time of 7pmAU would be better Yes. Assuming Alfred arrives here in Oz about 9pm AU, I’ll be sending the current boat away soon after and see what’s wanted - hopefully tells me what gifts will be required. Then perhaps make gifts and goods overnight. |

Does anyone know if Tom will bring the gifts? According to Gizmo...no, Tom will not be able to get gifts. Correct. Per Gizmo Spike's video, we can't sell the gifts also which means we can't buy them. The only sure way to get them is to make them with the Gift Wrapping Station. |

Does anyone know if Tom will bring the gifts? No, Tom will not bring gifts, and we can't buy/Sell them or donate to neighbors... according to the videos. You can flag them on your boats or fill boats for others. |

...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. 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. I thought I read somewhere that ALL boats will have some crates asking for gifts. So unless they aren’t doing puzzle/(whatever other kinds of) boats, I think they should be combined? ? Unless I misunderstood something. |

I’m wondering if, before the boat comes, tapping on the dock will show what type of gift will be asked for (as it now shows the 3 items that will be asked for). Does anyone know?

Unless I misunderstood something. I was wondering the same. There is a PP boat event scheduled for next Sunday so I presume there will still be PP boats🤔 I’m wondering if, before the boat comes, tapping on the dock will show what type of gift will be asked for (as it now shows the 3 items that will be asked for). Does anyone know? Maybe it is like boat events and only boats coming after the event has started will have them🤔. there wasn’t anything about that on the video I don’t think……or I missed it. |

Thanks, 🌼GymGirl🌺! I was unclear, but I wasn’t asking about the first boat of the event—just wondering if we’ll get advance notice of what specific type of gift ALL event boats will call for (vs. just seeing a generic gift on the dock). Of course this will be revealed soon, but curious minds… |

Curious minds indeed. All this stuff starts in the middle of the night for me, lol.
(What does it cost to move to Australia?)

Ok it is here, I think it is a bit unfair that the amount of diamonds to open more slots in the machine is way in excess of normal.

Yay! No glitches!
I noticed in the catalog there are 2 g8fts available in 13d 21 hrs (2 weeks)... I thought it was only 1 per week, or maybe the time will be adjusted. Having the whole catalog available to browse through is very nice for planning.
Thank you Hay Day for a wonderful addition!

Mine is a PP boat too and requires the green gifts.
I decided to open two more slots but that is it.

As some may have already discovered, the answer is yes. But, it has to be a new boat coming AFTER the event started, so even if you had a boat an hour out after the start of event, it won't be a present boat, the next one should be though. I don't usually do boats anymore and don't really want/need most of what's being offered in the catalog personally, but I'm going to give it a go for the tree market and the curling rink decos! |

Curiosity.... Has anyone used a booster? If you use a 2 or 3 crate booster, will it flag gift crates as well as regular? If it does, will they be counted for holly or just a case of losing out?
It would be nice if boosters only did regular crates lol

It would be nice if boosters only did regular crates lol It's my understanding that the boosters can apply to any crate- present crate or not. And I would think, but don't know yet, that if you used your booster and it filled a present crate, that you would get the holly for that. Edit- I've been informed that you won't get the rewards from boosters according to Gizmo's vid. |

Does anyone know if Tom will bring the gifts? No, I already checked… I guess it was worth a try. My first boat demanding gifts has arrived… it’s asking 3 x 2 green gifts. I filled one crate it gave 50 hollies. |

Post by emailkathy on Dec 5, 2022 12:47:45 GMT
I did call 2 boats to play with and rushed gifts to test...
Each wanted 4 gift crates, and both wanted 4 crates of 4 white sweaters... and something else I can't remember.
Thankfully it appears that each gift crate does only ask for 1 gift each.
Several on my friends list have flagged gifts, I did fill a few and did get the holly. Looks like getting the needed holly will be easier than I thought. 🧑🎄😘
Edit- some crates are now asking for 2 gifts

I am / was excited for this event. It’s new and fresh and I like the concept a lot! However I have to say there are 2 things which are a big disappointment in my book. 1. The extra slots in a temporary machine are ridiculously expensive. 2. The hours needed for each mastery star are way too much. It takes over 8 days of non stop production to gain 1 single star. 25 days of constant production to get all 3. By that time the event is just about over.  |

Looks like I’ll be using some of my many free Tom boosters to keep the gift machine base products in stock, I.e. purple dresses, mayo, etc. Crops won’t be a problem.

Tom will NOT bring the gifts, 😞 and cannot be requested at the bird house. Of course, if you have already activated Tom, he can bring the products necessary to produce the gift. EDIT: I can’t read this morning. So just a reminder to those about Tom. 😂 |

Just using him for cookies, mayo, etc… the necessary stuff to make the gifts. So I don’t need to tie up those machines keeping up on that stuff. |

I am thinking this machine could get a new " skin" for different holidays... maybe pastel colors and make baskets for Easter with colored eggs for currency... shade of dead/gray for Halloween... maybe crow currency. HD color choice with little cakes for birthday goodies...
3 or 4 times a year... could repurpose the machine to make this original cost outlay more palatable. Better than truck or boat events for the major deco events...
