Why do neighbors gift chickens and apple trees?

[cakeandpie]

Why would my neighbors gift chickens and apple trees (or any other item besides dog bowls or parts)? These are not beginners. They are on high enough levels that thy have been playing for some time. And I've even requested dog bowls only because they are worth 400 coins and apple trees and brown chickens are worth only 10. To still keep sending them feels like an insult to me. What reason could anyone have for sending me apple trees multiple times even after I have explained?? Why would you send a neighbor a gift worth one FORTIETH of what the best gift is worth?

Soon I think I am going to post to these people that I will be deleting neighbors who keep sending the least valuable gifts.

Yeah I have a neighbor who always send me apple trees

I got the brown chicken today from a high level player, so I sent one right back over. lol

I guess some people are just bored with sending the same thing over and over and over. *shrug* I prefer tool shed parts to anything else, but I don't really mind
These are virtual coins, there isn't really any 'value' - and it is just a game.

lol... I think I may start seriously requesting brown chickens. I do not need dog bowls. I do not want tool shed parts. Most of my neighbors know that I don't care what they send me since I just accept it all and leave it in inventory -- and the only reason to gift me is to get rid of me on the gifting section of the news feed since I do almost always gift back.

So, looking through my inventory, of all the giftable items available, brown chickens are what I have the least of. Not that I need or want them either, but it would be a nice change and could annoy people in a most satisfying way. heh. Yes, sometimes I'm just... bad.

Honestly, I don't care what people send to me. At least they are sending something. It's a gift!

If you don't want something, just reject it and move on.

Just send them back wooden crates.

What, if anything, are wooden crates used for?

actually, they're good for creating 3-D designs, kind of like benches but not as versatile as hay bales.

Decoration, and for sending to people who gift chickens
