I do not buy gems but here is my opinion of some of the items that might be "WORTH THE GEMS" if you're someone that buys them:
Attractions: cotton candy delivers the most gold per hour per square/space... but you can get gold other ways that do not cost gems... not worth the gems
all other attractions... not worth the gems
Buy attractions because you like how they look. If you just want the gold, use ICE CREAM STANDS.
Animals
a) Cross-Breed Parents... buying 1 of these to allow cross-breeding a baby that costs only gold... Silverback Gorilla... breed minotaur
Red Shanked Duac... breed golden lion tamarin
b) Cross-Breed Babies... buying 1 of these to allow cross breeding of a baby that costs a relatively low amount of gems...
Scarlet Macaw (8 gems) + Puffin = Toucan, 13 gems
c) Collections... buying 4 of these finishes a collection
Silverback Gorilla, 13x4=52 gem + Red Shanked Duac, 7x4=28 gem... unlocks CHIMPANZEE
Peacock , 7x4=28gem... unlocks IRISH ELK
Scarlet Macaw, 8x4=32 gem... unlocks COBRA... which by the way ranks very high in "gold generation"
d) Low Cost... buying these just gets you that animal... these are the ones that cost "only" 21 or less gems, ranked in order of their "gold generation" stat. I used the cut off of 21 because a lot of people get the Lunar Dragon and it ranks pretty high in gold generation... so I wanted that one on the list.
Arctic Fox, 10 gem
Owl, 21 gem
Lunar Dragon, 21 gem (first one is awarded for completing a goal)
Flamingo, 7 gem (also is parent of PLATYPUS, along with SEA OTTER = 4 gems, but the duck-billed mammal costs 37 gems!)
Wombat = Kangaroo+Bear, 9 gem
Scarlet Macaw, 8 gem (parent, see above)
Dingo, 9 gem
White-Tailed Deer, 13 gem
Silverback Gorilla, 13 gem (also parent, see above)
Red Shanked Duac, 7 gem (also parent, see above)
Peregrin Falcon, 4 gem
Jaguar, 4 gem
Snow Leopard, 21 gems (also is parent of Cheetah which costs a whopping 53 gems)
Sea Otter, 4 gem (also is parent of platypus, see above)
Toucan (Puffin+Scarlet Macaw), 13 gem
Liger (Lion+Tiger), 7 gem
California Condor (Bald Eagle+Ostrich), 9 gem
e) GOALS
Rarest of the Rare - - a GORILLA allows you to breed a MINOTAUR, which allows you to finish this for a reward of 2,000 gold and 100 XP
Ape Enforcers - - buying 2 GORILLAS and breeding 1 more, allows completing this goal for a reward of the MANDRILL animal
Give me a Roar - - cross breeding 1 LIGER allows completing this goal for a reward of 3 gems and 3 XP... not worth the gems
The Big Cats - - I do not know all the requirements of this multiple-stage goal, but I have read on this forum that it requires "cats" that cost a lot of gems... not worth the gems
...
If you see an animal listed in more than one place then that should bump it up in the ranking of whether it might be worth the gems.... for example the Gorilla, the Scarlet Macaw and the Red Shanked Duac.
