Are you dropping gift bags?

Dude, you have some crummy neighbours! I give out my gift bags out every day but i never have enough to give too all my neighbours :roll:

I give out all of my gift bags every day, but I am not receiving very many to give out. I save my precious few gift bags to drop in the towns of my neighbors who have been the most neighborly the last few months, and I try to focus THOSE on neighbors with the lowest gift card counts to help my neighbors that look like they need them most.

I wish I could afford to buy a bunch to give them to ALL my favorite neighbors, despite whether they need them or not. I LOVE dropping gift bags, I love hiding them, I love having a way to "gift" to my neighbors besides just tapping their buildings. Maybe Santa will bring me some Google Play cards and I can splurge on some gift bags.

I've been getting a fair amount , I always run out so I give to people who give to me. Seems that we're not getting mnay because they want us to spend donuts to give the bags.. Sorry but i'm not spending donuts on girft bags.

I'm trying but I'm just not getting that many a day. Whoever leaves me some is who I prioritize first, then ppl I know are active but just don't have that many giftcards are next.

I drop them when I finish collecting cards. I never have enough to drop more than one per neighbor, but I do drop one in each town. If EA weren't so stingy with them, I'd drop more.

You have terrible neighbors, or not enough that play regularly or at all.

I earn 30-40 gift bags a day and leave all of them in my neighbors town. Not enough for everyone every day but I'm spreading them out that everyone get some.

I do my best to give gifts to all my neighbors, although it seems to mean only 1 gift per person and I have to do half my friends one day and half the next. Would be nicer if we could find more gifts when we open our. The way it's looking the community prizes are going to be super tough to reach this time

That ^, yup

I wish I had enough gift bags to gift all my friends, but i don't :oops:

So I'm focussing on those neighbours who have dropped bags on mine - returning the favour - and those who particularly helped in the past.

I save up my gifts until I have enough to drop to each of my neighbor at the same time. And as I've learned of the upcoming double gifts period, I would rather make sure to have enough for everybody then.

I give all my neighbours one every day!

As much as I can, it's only fair to be nice to my neighbours.

THIS. From the weekend, I've gotten 42 different neighbors drop me gift bags (and that doesn't include some of my great neighbors who have given me gift cards even though I have told them not to waste them on me I reciprocate with them in other ways.). I'd been hoarding some of my gift bags till I could give them out so this morning I doled out 100 gift bags to those 42 neighbors. AND some of them have left me more than 5 so I owe them another visit when i have the cards.

I get tonnes dropped in my town, but sadly, I hardly get enough to be overly generous to everyone..
I save up a decent amount, and then distribute fairly.

My plan in the beginning was to keep track of most of the neighbours dropping to me, but that was to much to keep track on. Now, I drop one or two to the neighbours I visit that is not loaded with gift bags from others. Some have not anyone waiting for them to tap. Today I have almost not given anyone, I am at 58 bags now, and was planning to save up to 100 so I can give every neighbour 1 each

THERE ARE WAY TO LITTLE GIFTBAGS!!!! :thumbdown:

fizzbin71825

I am dropping them off, but I'm a day and a half behind repaying my neighbors because I get so few.

frimar21

like many others, I have just few gift bags every day... between elves and others I can collect not more than 30 every day, that splitted for 100 friends... hugs, not even 1 bag every 3 friends... :-(

this is the only reason why it seems that you didn't receive them... there are just few of them!
but in any case, spread them away, don't keep them for you, make someone happy :-)

nifty idea and good point. i'll start doing that

jfcal2005

I'm getting about 20 to 30 a day to give only.
I do visit my 100 neighbours daily, which takes quite a long time.
So to be honest I tend to drop my gifts to the neighbours easing me the task.. (brown houses around the landing zone).. If i have to scroll the entire town to find a KEM and the Simpson house, I won't give any.

I'm only getting between 45-50 a day just by opening gifts. I drop one per town I visit each day until I run out.

jckober

I was buying them and giving 3-4 daily to every neighbor, now I am going to do the best I can.maybe alternate days.

There doesn't seem to be a point in keeping them. You can't open them and take the prize and I enjoy trying to hide them in my neighbors Springfield. Like everyone else I never have enough for everyone so I choose neighbors that always play, not just the Christmas event people that I never see any other time of the year. I still have two neighbors that either haven't updated their game or they haven't bothered to try to visit and therefore don't even know the Christmas event is happening.

The gift bags don't have a lot of gift cards though. It's just 2 or 3. By tapping on your neighbors buildings you get 10 cards per tap. That's 30 per town, with 100 friends it's 3000 cards a day. That's where the big boost in your gift card total comes from.
