Hello everyone, Toy Day is almost here and that means the gift exchange is also going to happen soon. A feature grossly overlooked, the gift exchange is one of my favorite activities of a special event on NH and Zucker and I'd like to know if you all are ready?
These weeks have been a bit chaotic irl, so I'm only starting to prepare now- which means I can order exactly 10 items from the Nook Shopping app if necessary. I still don't know what kind of items I'm giving to the residents of Mirage, but I'm planning to give them brand new items from the 2.0 update. With over 700 items to choose from (well, much less as I'm nowhere near a complete catalog), the task to choose the perfect gift is not easy, and like Boots, I'm running into some trouble.
The recent updates have made gifting easier than ever, thanks to the ability to remove an unwanted clothing item from their wardrobes and being able to redesign their homes (if you have the DLC). By the time the first Toy Day rolled around, I didn't care about ugly houses or ugly clothing anymore, but I still make an effort to think of something that will actually suit the taste of the residents or will look great on them/their homes. Chadder and Mathilda have kindly put the pressure on me, as their expectatives are quite high... (of course these little rascals will love any kind of wrapped fruit, but I love the lifesim aspect too much)
Here's what I'm thinking about:
Boots - Something farm related, maybe the tractor? He'll get swole driving that, I guess.
Renée - So many houseplants to choose from, the potted starter plants with actual flowers blooming is my current favorite.
Melba - Either the strapped books or the scrapbook.
Bianca - I want to give her something castle related but the items won't go well inside her house, so I'll probably go with something from the moss/vine set.
Zucker - Just the tastiest food recipe I can find. He'll be happy.
Chadder - One of the items from the Cool set, maybe the chair so he can finally sit on something other than his toilets.
Antonio - I'd love to gift him the baseball set or the inflatable bird ring!
Angus - I'm probably gonna cheat on the 2.0 items and craft him a bonsai shelf.
Mathilda - The not-Barbie doll is probably my go-to gift for her, will choose a nice variant.
Julia - Maybe the afternoon-tea set, is the kind of fancy thing she could have.
So, what are you gifting? Do you have everything ready or are you making some last-minute shopping/crafting? What do you think about the gift exchange overall?Feel free to roast my gift choices or suggest something better I hope all of you enjoy Toy Day (and your equivalent irl festivities).
