Gift bag frustration :(

I feel bad too but I do NOT want you to feel bad about me in that equation. In fact, I insist you use any gift bag you were going to give me to give to one of your friends with a lesser card count. Barring times when I cannot play because the game keeps crashing, I've been visiting all 100 friends every single day, so I have lots of gift cards.

In general, that has been my way to deal with the gift card shortage. I am directing my gift cards to friends that have been active, and of those, I am focusing my cards towards my neighbors that have the lowest card counts because I want to help those who need it most. I can't afford to buy gift bags, I don't have the real life money to do so, so that is the way I'm making my gift bags do the most good.

If I end up with any Google play cards for Christmas I'm going to buy gift bags to give out to my neighbors, because despite the fact that there aren't enough and that makes me feel bad, I absolutely love leaving gift bags. I think it is a ton of fun and it makes me happy.

The lack of gift bags I am able to give out is ridiculous... I have already had to purchase them a few times now just to be able to give one to each of my neighbors.

I am so sorry to all my neighbors...I really am trying to make sure everyone gets a gift from me, but this is getting crazy.
I'm not a big fan of a game that makes me feel bad, so I'm not sure if I should just try to save them up so I can then drop 5 in every town, which at this rate will take at least a week and I dont want my neighbors to delete me for it...or should I just keep going with what I get and try to purchase more? Any advice or suggestions?

Ugh...
Sorry for the venting...I'm just really frustrated and feel horrible when I have nothing to give. :(

What? With donuts? Insane. Utterly insane.

Yep... Completely!! :(

I kinda feel bad about not being able to give more. I too give first to neighbors with low card count. It doesn't bother me if I get very few to open myself.

I am giving them out in turn. I started at the beginning then made a note of where I got to when I ran out then start there when I get more. It's taking me at least three days to get around to everyone. I tap all my neighbours every day though.

yes I leave my brown houses for people to tap. I got rid of a couple of neighbours as there was never anything to tap and I got fed up with keep having to going back.

I am one of your neighbors Ditsy and I can sympathize with lack of bags to give. I usually can only give one or two and not to everyone daily. I usually give back to those that have given to me, and to neighbors I have had for awhile. I haven't deleted anyone for not gifting bags, only for not visiting after requesting neighbor request for this event and then never visiting.

I am always happy with a visit, and if visitor only leaves me one bag great, more than one even better!

I graffiti a building in towns I have no gift for. For me, it's a message:"sorry, but I got nuthin' today."

I'm trying to PM my friends who don't already know me, (in any other situation that would be an oxymoron...) to let them know this is why they might see a graffiti. It won't always work, but I figure it's what makes me feel better, plus those are few and far between. Most on my list are old comrades who know I have a history of good intentions. It is VERY frustrating that in my main town, I continue together so few bags to distribute. Today, I FINALLY topped 20 ... For 62 friends. So one-per friend ain't gonna happen.

I'm fine with cards! Waaaay ahead. Already have my raccoon, so if someone is in my spot, I HOPE they don't waste a bag on me. It won't make a whit of difference to my score, since all I need for my prizes is CARDS. It's like giving a gift certificate to Bill Gates. I'm not being magnanimous. I'm already over what I'll need.

;)

Ditsy, I'm very touched by how you're spending donuts to get giftbags for your neighbours (such as me). No need to drop them in my town as I have other frequent gift baggers. :)

I'll make it my personal resolve to drop 5 bags in your town everyday so that you have more to pass around. I still have enough to return the favour for those who drop bags.

Some of my neighbours are here..... :D

I also try hard to do 1 bag per day...... but this still requires me to "buy" some!


I believe thrre is a "double gifts" period coming...... its only a rumour as far as I am concerned but I will be topping everyone up if it comes good :wink:

I'm with Rick and Ditsy. I would love to give more, but just can't generate enough bags to hand out. Lately, it's been one per town with a few generous friends getting 2.

Soon I'll start only handing out bags to only those with low numbers who I know are actively playing. I hope all my friends with high gift numbers will understand.
