Good ideas emailkathy! But I would sure hope if this were ever a ‘thing’ that you could keep the extra production slots. Boy are they pricey! |

Anyone know how many hollies we can collect and store for a future prize? In a couple weeks are 3 decorations available with 2 of them 1k hollies each. And did you notice, the prizes get more expensive with each week? To not give us an advantage by reaching the stars, I guess. And one more question, since I have my 21 extra permits, can I collect more permits by claiming them with hollies? I don't think any of us wants to test this, right? Lol hopefully management can find an answer  |

My strategy for Holly collecting :
I’ll look at the number of per gift and time needed to produced missing gifts/products to fill my boat order.
Also at my level 160+ , boat requires up to 8 snow gifts that I would happily send away. I could make green gift for the same amount of time that gives more holly per gift. A few snow gift I made will be used to fill other’s crate if flagged.
As a neighborhood, people could team up to share the gift production workload to fill each other crates. This could help fill boat in a minimal time depending on level.
There are other ways to get holly (I’ll let you find that out yourself) so a few holly less won’t be much an issue.

Next boat is asking for longest time producing gifts, and again products that take up to 3hrs to produce…..
Gift catalog is nice.

I wouldn’t worry about the benefits of the 3rd mastery star. it takes 25 days of 24*7 production to get that last star. The event lasts only 25 days and 18 hours at this very moment so you certainly won’t benefit all that much from that 3rd star if you manage to get it.  oops I meant to quote Eturtle’s post |

You won’t get holly using fill crate booster! It will fill crates, no holly.
you will get holly by filling other gift crates flagged for help.

Then it will be shared in Community Guide threads. The amount of coin and holly is per gift, times the number of gift per crate and already verified, data shared in that same thread. Since every single boat will ask for gifts, won't take many days to find out an approximate range.  |

A quick jaunt through some farms and it seems the amounts per crate and the holly awarded are universal
(until you achieve mastery of the machine of course!)
At base rate:
•1 stacked gift per crate = 25 holly
•2 snowflake gifts per crate = 40 holly
•1 long gift per crate = 30 holly
•1 Green gift per crate = 25 holly

I adjusted my game tactics with relation to the wrapping machine a bit. I produce the green ones, only takes 45 min. Reason, I see a lot people flag their boat for help with gift crates. I get the holly for filling, I don’t have to use much own resources on my crates.
I think this tactic works as long as people think they will get the holly if someone else fills them. 😉

If another crop generates holly please share here. |

...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 can now confirm that we can do both puzzle boats and present boats. When I logged in a few minutes ago, the boat was at the docks with no gift requests. Since I didn't fill any crates yet, I sent the boat away and the next boat will ask for green gifts, so I'm making them now. Right under my next order for green gifts, passion fruits, and mushrooms are the words "extra rewards" with the puzzle icon. |

A quick comparison of time vs reward for filling boat crates, based on the base production speed and pay rate of the wrapping machine
☆Green gift☆
(0:45 hours, 25 holly per crate)
3:00 hours, 100 holly for 4 crates
☆Stacked gift☆
(1:00 hours, 25 holly per crate)
4:00 hours, 100 holly for 4 crates
☆Long gift☆
(1:30 hours, 30 holly per crate)
6:00 hours, 120 holly for 4 crates
☆Snowflake gift☆ (TWO per crate)
(1:30 hours, 40 holly per crate)
6:00 hours, 160 holly for 4 crates
(Fairly certain, based on what I can see so far, will adjust as necessary!)

This is a missed opportunity for supercell.
Releasing a diamond deco pack alongside the gift wrap machine might have encouraged those of us with a small diamond supply to purchase more in order to expand the machines capacity!

Hubby lvl 204 just had a boat with green gifts. 3 crates, 2 green gifts per crate, 50 holly per crate. I am guessing that you will often see 1 gift in a crate when the boat needs 4 crates of each item and 2 a crate when there’s only 3 crates to fill. |

Good to know there is some variation I had 4 crates with 2 snowflake gifts in each to kick things off so its possible its just random as to the amount being 1 or 2 in each crate Set me up with 160 holly to start and makes me think 7 ish boats a week should be more than enough for me personally to get all the expansion scrolls I'm eyeing up 😅 |

If you have 3 crates of 2, then it will always be 3 crates of 2. Same for 4 crates, either 4 crates of 1 or 4 crates of 2. You cannot have 4 crates of 1 today then 4 crates of 2 another day. So be prepared! |

So be prepared! Are you sure? A farm 10 levels higher than me has 4 crates with 1 to fill in each of stacked gifts So do stacked gifts only come in sets of 1? |

This is a missed opportunity for supercell. Releasing a diamond deco pack alongside the gift wrap machine might have encouraged those of us with a small diamond supply to purchase more in order to expand the machines capacity! Fascinating. Another possibility I'm speculating is many high level players are hoarding diamonds won in game or bought from game and Team Hay Day is always thinking about ways for us to spend them so we may buy more. IIRC, many years ago, a frustrated poster asked on the now defunct, official Supercell forums why fences don't have a fixed price and why it increases as we buy more fences. Introducing herself as the Hay Day Game Designer, Camilla Avellar explained the concept of inflation. As players advance higher in the game, they will gain more currency such as coins and game developers must address the inflation by thinking of ways "to remove significant amounts of currency from the game." I later realize coins is not the only currency in the game. Vouchers and diamonds are another type of currency! Every time Team Hay Day introduces a new feature, I speculate which game currency they'd like to remove significant amounts from the game. Is removing many of our diamonds one of the goals of the Gift Wrapping Station? Good luck Team Hay Day. |

My next boat, just arrived, had 4 crates each asking for 1 stacked gift per crate Perhaps 2 stacked per crate is not a thing? |

A farm 10 levels higher than me has 4 crates with 1 to fill in each of stacked gifts So do stacked gifts only come in sets of 1? There are a few variables at work here. your farm level and the type of gift. in this case you’re comparing the blue snowflake gift to the purple stacked gift. it’s quite possible some kinds of gifts only come as 1 a crate for a certain level while a different gift comes as 2. its probably a bit early to tell just yet but I’m sure in a few days we will all have an idea of what to expect for our level. |
