These bundles are pretty disappointing. No burning embers, no alicorn parts, nothing really rare that people work hard for months to get and still come up empty handed. Considering the Pile of Gifts doesn't give you anything special, and it only works for a limited time (10 collections at best), I can't honestly say it's worth 400 gems. It's not even worth half that in my humble opinion.
K, I'm a nerd but......
Pick a random 8 of the bundles listed, then calculate the combined cost.
Then, go back and add up all the steps to complete the whole questline pt. 1 & 2
I wont list it all here, but I was ASTOUNDED!
It was shocking, and massively wasteful
On a more important note.... I want to thank EVErYONE !a billion times over! for gemming thru and posting. The real value of this season is gratitude for community...and the whole community here super values what the speedy gem-ers do<3

No you're not a nerd b/c I was doing the same thing just in my head (well out loud cuz that's how I think) but anyway. I also find it EXTREMELY and CRUELLY ironic that (stick w/me here) we need gold nuggets in order to get through Mission 5 Golden Rings, to get to/through the next 4 missions all to get a GRAND PRIZE that gives out bundles that INCLUDE GOLD NUGGETS. Trying really hard not to have a conniption fit right now, b/c having a brain aneurysm right now would just ruin everything.
And again TYSVM to all those who were either really lucky or really well stocked, or used a whole lot of gems (or any combo of the above) and then acted like total rock stars by walking the rest of us through it JUST B/C YOU COULD and therefore wanted to.

This all sounds great but with limited time on availability, one would think collections would be 24 hour not 48. Just saying.
I like it very much the only thing I miss is a christmas tree but all the decirationd are marvelous
BTW...Just wanted to let you all know that the collection time is a total of 44 hours--not 48! I bought my pile of presents right when it became available just after the update came out (3:00 Eastern for me). Today I made my first collection at 11:00 a.m. -- 44 hours later. Must be the TL "day" of 22 + 22 to get to the 44 hours.
I got the golden gift -- 1 golden nugget, 1 golden apple, 15 coins (because I'm maxed on golden eggs), and 5 trade tickets. I am happy with the trade tickets!

I finally got my pile of prezzies. I hope to get some items that I'd not pay gems for (lamp post, etc)
overall, I feel it's better than the rubbish the trees gave last year.
