Information/Feedback about the Gift Wrapping Station 2022

I had the feeling that the snowflakes were the ones mostly requested on my main, but when I loaded my GWS with those I got the other gifts now several times. Luckily all my babyfarms need those, so it’s still easy to keep up. Already have all the permits, deco and puzzle pieces available for week one, collected. Besides that I am close to 2000 holy again for the second week. I guess that’s already enough for the chick vouchers and permits. I skip the blueprints.

Don’t have to focus on derby anymore. Started Friday and completed in a hour placing 2nd. Valley nice on track also with tokens.

Currently 3 of my babyfarms are involved in helping the main. The baby’s don’t collect holly 😉

Yikes!  Sorry GG.  I’ve been getting a fairly level mix of the gift requests on my main farm. On all of them really.

I flag those on my baby farms for me and any others who want them and then just let the game take the boats away when the time expires.  The two smallest generate blue and green; the biggest, all the gifts.

Of course the next boat wants long ducktown2021. 😆

I have only 4 slots open so keeping up with four boats ain’t happening.😄

You never got the ice skate gnome???  what a disappointment!  Don’t blame you for being low on in-game Christmas spirit.  

It is my hope, that Santa's cane was just slow and the delivery will be there next time, I open the game. Fingers crossed. 

I already have 2450 hollies in storage with no difficulty.  I'm keeping them until the chick vouchers open up.  

Yeah, my skating princess has finally arrived. 👍

Has anyone else noticed how new decos are being added to the holly catalog? First there were two now there's four. 

I have 1.935 holly for the next week.

However, I had to change my strategy again. Previously I wanted to concentrate on flagged boat crates in the DD, but this succeeded only for one time. After that I had no luck, either there were gifts flagged I didn't owned or there were no boats at the dock at all.

I decided to involve primary my babyfarms for this issue. And that's working. If it happens that a boat is too greedy I send it away. Due to this I manage a good flow. Hope this will stay.

The holly does carry over, though, right?  The piggy bank that cost as much to open as the rewards we earn (so I’ve never been able to use it) has made me forever wonder about these things, lol. 

Remember that excess holly at the end will be converted to coins... no idea what the conversion rate will be. but at least it's not a total waste. I do wish it would be converted to diamonds since we had to spend so much for opening slots and such.

It’s a lot of labor going through RSS, but there are enough boats that I find that have crates flagged. I foresee a challenge next week when we have the global help event, lasts four days. I am close to 2600 holly now, need 1250 for second week. The rest I gather is already for week 3.

Hmm, I already thought the first maintenance after the start of the event changed quantity of green gifts when three boxes boats come, from 2 to 1, as only my very first boat on main farm had 3x2 (level 240) and after that, before today, I had only 3x1 on two farms (level 165 for the second one)(5 of 3x boats on main farm and 3 of them on baby farm). Today both farms had one 3x2 and one 3x1 boats (level 241 and 165). There's a stability with quantity of stacked gifts at this moment, 3x2 on level 240-241 (2 of 3x boats) and 3x1 on level 165 (2 of 3x boats). I know this has been mentioned here before, changing of quantity, with 4x boats including. I hadn't 4x2 of green gifts at all. Strange behavior.





I like this new addition, something completely new for a long time. Makes holiday mood in the game, looks beautiful and bring good rewards.

A little stressful for me because I was able to afford only one additional spare slot a few days ago on my main farm because of lack of diamonds. Was trying to deal with two slots because of deco offers and not knowing if gift station returns next year. When diamond stocks depleted to very low value to buy any decorations further there's nothing left how to buy third slot.
But all the calculations are done, looks like I can take all chick vouchers, puzzles, decorations and some other things if I continue with this pace I have and with first star of station in the future. The game doesn't give me permits, all is expanded and since I reached 22 I can't take them from anywhere.
Don't know maybe it'll be more convenient if last pages with usual Alfred's parcels were at the beginning of the catalog, it bores a little to flip through all catalog to look changed fourth parcel or ask for several parcels in a row.

Thank you, Frog , for the guide and I'm grateful to people in this thread, it helped to think, discussions of the event, strategies.
By the way event ends on the 31st of December at 10 a.m. if counted according to event board. I hope I counted right because it's late  But it seems I saw someone on the forum said that station will disappear on 2nd of January, from youtuber's information probably, I'm not sure, not following information so hard as it was earlier. Spare time beetween these dates. Was someone counting the ending? I don't understand. 

Thank you, lynnk2021
I was doing my calculations and remembered that it seems to be this date, the guide has 2nd January too. I know it's not so important on the last week, just noticed this mismatch if I counted right according to the event board.

Yes, it's logical. Seems to be the way it should be. I agree with this guess.
What I'm trying to say is that the event board timer is confusing me. Event board shows that holiday event will end and boats with hollies will stop come before 2nd of January, there's about 2 days between event board ending and this date. Seems to be logical too if Alfred takes away the station and boats stop come and holiday catalog disappears at the same time. At this moment it doesn't look like I can count on these days to collect hollies. Was doing math calculations to understand better which extra rewards I can afford before last week of the event will be going, according to the pace I have.


By the way today I had 3x1 of stacked gifts on level 241 although before that I had two 3x2 boats.
