How do you distribute gifts?
answer 1: i distribute once a day. i try to give 1 or 2 to each neighbor. when i run out i try to remember the neighbor that would be next so i can start there the next day. the exception is with the few dead towns, they dont get any obviously. the other exception is with forum friends/neighbors, they get more. also if i notice someone giving me 4 or 5, i try to hook them up. with 100 neighbors its kind of tough.RyderMike319 wrote:2 part question:
1) Do you distribute as soon as you get them or do you wait until you get 100 and give one each, or wait till 500 and give 5 each or other?
2) Do you drop them by the landing zone, or do you have a particular spot to drop them you prefer?
Me personally, I wait until 100 gifts and drop by the third house I tap
answer 2: i drop on SP. it makes it much easier to read who there from. i want to know which neighbors are dropping and i would like them to know that i am dropping.

5 daily for my wife
Gift bags for people I noticed giving me a lot of bags.
Gift bags for people who have less than 10000 cards, and don't have a metal tree surrounded by gift bags
Gift bags for people who have less than 15000 cards, and don't have a metal tree surrounded by gift bags

I recently promised one of my friends my next 5 bags though.
When I was stuck with the "PT1 done but you aint going no where". I did receive gifts so I like to give an extra bag to those neighbors/
I don't care about those who started visiting me during this event. They can give me as many gifts as they want, I won't return the favor.
2) I drop them in a open space, or near something I find awesome in their town.
I drop them off wherever I land, and try to leave them in plain sight
I try to drop it on one of their character moving around. I tried to drop it in the river; but it always ends up short and lands on shore.
What a great way of distributing, I'm going to copy that. I've just posted on another thread apologising for only managing to send some of my neighbours only 1 present a day. Your so right I have quite a few loyal neighbours who have continued with daily visits. Cheers for that.
I have room for a few new neighbours too.
2 - Usually at the landing zone with the metal tree, but I may nudge the view a bit in hopes of getting the gift bags to land in an "open" space, so as not to be obscured by the tree or surrounding buildings/decor. My aim is not so great sometimes though.
I wish we had enough that I could give to all neighbors, even ones who haven't gifted me, but that's an impossibility.
I do try to leave most everything untapped though, so that I can at least have my visitors make a quick in-and-out stop, rather than having to hunt for buildings to collect their gift cards.
Honestly, I would rather that once we reached 30k gift cards, we'd be able to earn extra gift bags rather than coins. I would prefer to be able to gift my neighbors more than anything I could win from the wheel. Too bad that's not an option.
As for dropping, I usually do the landing zone/metal tree area. Unless, they have a big bunch there already. I know that people like to keep track of gifters, so I'll try and keep them nearby, but not make everything a giant mix/mess for them to get through. At times, I have to pick up and move boxes in my landing zone, so I can make sure to tap one at a time so I can keep track of my gifters.
I may get mocked for this, lol, but I actually keep a "notepad" list on my computer for when I tap gifts, and I only tap them from home. That way I can "write down" who gifted what, so I can try to pay them back as best as I can.
I drop a bag off near the landing-tree and then tap 3 buildings.
as the 24h period progresses if I have managed tl put a bag on all my neighbours, I give an extra one to forum regs.......
I dont seem to get as many bags as others.....
The longer that I have know the neighbor and the more that they've helped me out I try and give more
gift baskets, but I try to give some baskets to the new people I added on just for the christmas event as
well. Its hard to see who's given me some in return because its all white text. :-(
I always drop them near the metal tree, I try to drop it in a visible spot but it's not always the case, but I make them find-able
For those dropping gifts in random places, in my case, if they are not in the metal tree I will most likely miss them. I'm not even collecting from my buildings to give people plenty of tapping options, so I don't go around my town all the time and they will most likely be picked up by the elves so I don't notice if/who dropped one which translates to I won't reciprocate unless randomly. Thought you might want to keep that in mind.
Because I bought a few elves houses I get around 70-80 bags a day so almost all my neighbors get at least one bag a day.
