Late additions to the Farm Town Gift page
You have probably noticed the 4 new holiday gift items available to give as gifts to your neighbors. There is the Holiday Pig and Dog and 2 tress with lights which are the Pine and Palm tree.
Something else I noticed this early morning is that when you visit the Christmas tab in the Farm Town Store there is a gift icon beside three of the items. Clicking on that icon highlighted in the illustration below will prompt the “Request as Gift” feature allowing you to post the item to your wall on Facebook as a wish list of sorts.
Notice the Small House with Lights
Do you see what I see? There is a “Small House with Lights” which one can buy for only 30,000 regular Farm Town coins, but it also has the gift box icon allowing you to request it as a gift. I don’t see this house on the regular Farm Town gift page so I wonder if it was an error that they placed it there along with the new items.
I will say, if I notice someone post this house in a Request as Gift post today I will buy it for them because I want to see if this is an error or a sign of things to come as there have been times when I wanted to send Store Items as gifts but that is not a feature I have seen before today.
I think it would be great if we could buy things from the Farm Store for our neighbors and would also like to be able to transfer Farm Cash to them as well. I have had occasion when a neighbor was just a couple farm dollars away from buying an item she wanted and I would have been happy to transfer a couple of mine to her because I didn’t really have enough to buy anything I wanted anyway so why not. Anyway, looks like Slashkey is still tinkering in their holiday workshop.

LEFT Taken near to the football stadium here next to where I work. Corn fields to the left and homes to the right.
CENTER This is taken on my way to work, Labruge Portugal. Mist and a church bell tower way down at the end.
RIGHT This one is more towards the coast, in the background you can see the ocean (Atlantic ocean) A mixture of houses and corn fields. This day the sun was shining.
Hey Jethro,
Got a couple pics for ya. I always see things that remind me of FT, so now, I take me camera with me everywhere. This is some tree in the front yard that I thought looked simular to the orange trees. Note the weeds in the background that kinda look like cotton fields.
And, I appologize for the Goober and his stupid face. But I saw the bench and I thought of Farmtown. I wanted to get the corn fields along the way into town, but didn’t think I could get a shot without the power lines in the way. I’ll send ‘em when I get ‘em.
Yours kindly,

I was thinking it would would be cool if oak and or maple trees could be added.
We should have a basket on the end of a stick as a tool to hire people to pick trees, other wise they can’t. Sometime I want to leave them and it seems unless you remember to tell your employees not to harvest a tree, they always do.
