Gifts

Giving gifts in FarmVille is one of the key elements of having fun during gameplay. You can even say that items acquired this way are the essence of your farm while in most cases you can't get them any other way. It is also the best method for a beginners to own a small chicken hen house or a fence, without spending any money on it.

Before choosing a gift it is good to contact with a friend or trace his entries. He may need something specific.

To send a gift to a friend simply click his portrait on the neighbors bar and choose the Send gift to option. You can also go to the Free Gifts bookmark in left upper corner of the game screen. The gift screen will pop up then. Notice that not all of them can be selected. Some are locked because of your experience level or there must be some extra conditions fulfilled. A number of gifts can also be unlocked by connecting to the official game site - http://www.farmville.com/ - though even then you have to be logged in to you Facebook account.

Take a closer look at items in colored borders and marked with captions. These items are for sure not only decorative. For example Nursery means that this item is needed to build a nursery for foals or calves. Collectible means item which is part of some collection (can't be used in the farm) and those with helmet picture on them are construction materials useful for all sorts of buildings.

Maybe it is time to repay?

The gifts range changes regularly every few days, so if one of your friends needs some boards do not postpone sending them. After selecting a gift you have to choose a person(s) who will receive it and accept sending. When you get a gift, first you have to accept it, of course if you're interested in it. There will be a note about this in the game, by mail or on Facebook board. If you accept a gift (Accept Now), you can give a gift in return (Send a thank you gift) or check other gifts you may have (click Yes below Do you have more pending gifts do accept?).

Officially you may send a gift to particular person only once a day, but in fact this possibility arises every few hours.

To unpack the surprise just go to your Gift Storage and click Use. Colorful lights will appear around you and then the information about the reward will pop up. This may be a special tree, extra experience points, unique decorations - there are plenty of possibilities.
