There's four types of free gifts - Samanayrs, pets, accessories, and item bundles! Each type is being given out differently, so make sure you read everything in this post to get ready for gifting.
Each person can receive one free Samanayr, pet, accessory,
and item bundle. There's no limit to how many you can gift, if you can catch them!
There's also been some changes to the gifting process this year. Instead of the accessory, item, and pet slots being first-come, first-served, I'll be holding short random draws at various times. Each draw will last an hour from the time it starts, then the winning PMs will be randomly selected and the new gifts added to the pile. Fun!
Availability announcements will be posted to either the Sam forum and PI,
or just the Sam forum, so keep an eye out!
Samanayrs
This year 14 Samanayrs will be finding homes through the gift-o-rama! Their giftbox is green with a red ribbon.
All of the Samanayr gifts will be given away through a random draw. Each person who wants to gift can include up to three different recipients with their Samanayr preferences for each person. 16 gifters will be randomly drawn, and the first person on their list will receive a gift Samanayr! If the first person listed has already received a free Samanayr gift, I'll go on to the next person in the gifter's entry. If the same happens with the next person, I'll go on to their third person. If all three have recived a gift, I'll go on to the next randomly drawn entry.
Rules!
- Each person can send in one Samanayr gifting PM.
- Please send me a PM on PI or the Sam forum, not both places.
The Samanayrs won't be revealed until the gifts open, but here's a sneak peek at them!
