Gifts

A special type of furniture, gifts allow VMK players to exchange holiday greetings. Spread some holiday cheer by trading the gift, leaving the gift in someone's guest room, or by using it as a quest kiosk reward. The Yeti teaches VMK players about this item here.

Giving Gifts

After purchasing a gift, you can double click the item in your inventory window. By doing so, you can either create a greeting to save or view an already saved message. Gifts appear separately in your inventory which makes it easier to tell them apart and determine whether a message has been saved on them yet:

Double clicking a gift that has not had a message saved opens up a window that allows a you to customize the gift.

Here you can choose your "Greeting Layout" and add a message.

Choosing a Layout

Currently there are four layouts to choose from:

Donald Card		Mickey Card
Holiday Card 1		Holiday Card 2

Write Your Greeting

Add your own personal message to the gift by highlighting either the bold title text or the smaller message body text.

This is the greeting that will be viewed by all who click the present.

You can still change your Greeting Layout once you have written your message and the text will remain the same.

There is a different title text color depending on which layout you choose. These colors are as follows:

Greeting Layout	Title Text Color
Donald Card	Yellow
Mickey Card	Red
Holiday Card 1	Green
Holiday Card 2	Light Blue

Saving Your Greeting

Once you have chosen your desired background and greeting, click the "OK" button to save. Keep in mind that the greeting cannot be changed once it has been saved. VMK warns you about this and the following message box appears:

Delivery

Now the only thing left to do is to deliver the gift. When giving multiple gifts, to tell your gifts apart, just double click on them from the inventory screen. For gifts with saved messages, the message will appear. Gifts that do not have a saved message will open the "Write Your Greeting" window.

The gift can be traded, left in a guest room, or rewarded via quest kiosk. For gifts with messages saved the name of the sender and the date the message was saved is included along with the personal message you created, so the recipient knows who the gift is from.

Be sure to note that gifts can be traded, placed into another room both in their "unsaved" and "saved" states. Make sure you double check to make sure you are giving the correct gift.

Receiving Gifts

If you receive a gift from someone, double click it to read the greeting inside.

A window will pop up with a message from the sender:

At the top of the greeting, the sender information is displayed:

Along with a window displaying the message, the surprise gifts "open" revealing the surprise as can be seen in the Red Surprise Gift:

Trading

Gifts can be traded in both in their "unsaved" and "saved" states.
