I'm hoping for goals, but I doubt if we will get any.

I hope we get some cute Christmas stuff.

It's been so long ago, I can't even remember the last time we had goals. Don't understand why because I've lost almost everyone of the nbrs I started out with over a year & a half ago because there aren't goals.

Yea I know I gave up on boxes though will have to think about it after I see like you. Might just save my GEMS for Christmas still holding out all hope for some good releases of past items. Like Pucker up display which I know both of us want and is what ****ed our box opening.

Not impressed of the box items I've seen in shops so far.
Three tables, a small tree and an ice tree sculpture. Maybe 2nd prize is an ice skater display with a bench. A bit bare, but okay. Lower prizes not to my liking, so will not gamble with this box, since I always end up with 15 4th and 3rd prizes... Rarely 2nds and never 1sts.
Hope for some LTO sales and out-of-box for Xmas instead....
We can always dream Jojo.....

Ok,I must be the only one,but that's ok,cause I LOVE it!!!! Bought that gingerbread house right away,even re designed (which I never do cause it's too much work) my store to fit that puppy in! Only caveat is that there coulda been gingerbread man counters to match.

The gingerbread display is cute. But for me not worth spending the gems on this late in the game ONE week before Christmas to use something very holiday that's not useable anytime elese during the year. But happy for those that like it. I do like those blue trees in the back ground but not opening box for them. Any way I sound like Mrs. Scrooge.. sorry LOL Also funny is that one could swear that the gingerbread house is left over design from last yr. We had a catalog last year with the same clothes in it.. LOL

I agree..specially with the nutcracker that is big and cute...I also bought the abstract tree because is something you actually can see in a store (made with boxes). The gingerbread display...I dont know..as some say is probably too late but I could save it for next year. But I expected it to be for less than 30 gems. I really want a display with sparkly glam dresses to use it at January too.

The counters the most horrific thing...

The catalogue is nice I like it

I agree on the suggestion that the counters could have matched the gingerbread ... that would have been cute. And I agree that the gingerbread house is adorable but I am not going to buy it right away just in case we get one more Christmas release before the actual holiday. Why? Well, I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas decor. The selection in this most recent update was a bit too modern for me (not counting the gingerbread release). The block tree and minimalist tree offered are not my idea of Christmas but someone else might absolutely love them so to each their own and enjoy!

One thing for sure though ... I am scratching my head regarding the tables ... they seem out of place. Heavy wood with little Christmas or winter flair. Is it just me or are the tables (counters) lacking some holiday love?

All in all, the catalog is cute and I am happy it is a short order to fill. I was hoping to snag a fun holiday outfit for Christmas but the gem exchange on this one makes me take pause. Still holding out for last-chance goodies right before Christmas!

It's a cute update, I like the gingerbread display although its a a lot of gems. Not that keen on the Christmas trees but nice that there is a coin option as well as gems.

The catalogue is ok, and only 3 hours. Probably will only buy the nutracker as its a nice decoration and only 6 gems. The neon Christmas tree wall decoration looks good too.

I just feel this Christmas is under par from TL than what they could've done for us this yr. Our updates were GREAT last yr. And we had 2 very nice goal prizes as well. I feel like we got "re gifted". Or coal in our stockings or something just kinda blah all together.

460 gems spent on that new box and the only thing I like is the Chandelier Ice trees. So disappointing. I thought it would be great but come on.

mergirl96
12-17-13, 05:32 PM
I like the outfit it's cute and fun, but everything else is just meh. The gingerbread display is sweet and those trees in the box are awesome. Also, maybe it's just me, but the prices for some of the stuff these last two updates are ridiculous. Why in the world is that hat over 100,000 coins!? Anyway I think this update could have been a lot better if there was more holly, jolly, christmasy stuff rather than boring items.

andromedablack
12-17-13, 06:26 PM
I'm very dissapointed with this week's update. One week before Christmas and no goal, not a Christmas LTO, not a traditional Christmas tree.I was waiting for something really better.
The gingerbread village is cute but not good enough to spend gems on it as it can't be used when Xmas are over, the counters are just so ugly and I can't understand what they have to do with Christmas, they're not holiday-ish at all. The nutcrackers are ugly anyway and the abstract tree and the minimalist tree are not my taste. I just wanted a warm traditional Christmas tree in an affordable price or a small cute pink tree.
The catalogue looks like clown, I think there was a Santa helper catalogue in the past years so why Santa helper again? I'd prefer a Santa costume or a Christmas ball catalogue or at least a cute winter catalogue with leggings, boots and scarf.
And I don't even think of opening a box.
Not a good update for me,this year my shop won't have a Christmas tree.:(

This is a tough crowd for this update.

I like this update. The Gingerbread house is great. I like the racks. I don't care for the counters, though. They aren't Christmas counters. The catalog is cute. I've only been playing for a year, so it's new to me. I got all the Christmas trees. I like the Minimalist tree. The abstract tree is kooky, but I did get one.

Good work TL.

CuteTali
12-17-13, 08:17 PM
I think TL got really creative with the Asbtract (aka Legos) tree and the minimalist tree, totally unexpected and way out-of-the-box kind of thinking, so that's nice. The counter really are nothing special, we just had something very very similar to this not too long ago, I think maybe called managony counters? I also don't like the racks at all, so I'm using racks I have from last year with the big bows. The catalogue I think is cute and fitting for the season, also perfect for mixing/matching with an elf catalogue we had in previous years. I was pretty disappointed with no LTO, but then I saw the gingerbread village, which I think of as the LTO item, but letting us have more time to think of buying rather than pull it out within a couple of days, but still the price is much too high for an item you can only use a limited time of the year. I don't personally like the nutcracker, but I know other people would like it, because they had a display with matching theme last year, so I imagine some people would want that for their nutcracker display. The neon christmas tree is really cute, but coin items recently have been up the roof, I'm actually getting low on coins and I haven't expanded my shop in a really long time either, just from buying regular items. The box once again has bad 4th place items, which means it will be a waste of money trying to play with it. Really I just wish they brought back the Ice Skating Display for direct sale soon, I really want it for my shop, gotta keep fingers crossed for the xmas sale I suppose.

12-17-13, 08:36 PM
I love the gingerbread village, think I'm gonna buy that and some nutcrackers. Nowhere to place it in my tiny store though, I never seem to make enough money in Fashion, no matter what I do. I'd love to buy some of the coin items but don't have the funds right now, hopefully will be able to buy some before they get pulled in the new year. I love the neon tree for the wall. I think the catalog is very cute. I like this update.

creolepraline
12-17-13, 08:41 PM
The LTO is very cute, but I'm not going to buy gems now just to save something for later. The nutcrackers are cute and would go well with my LTO from last year. I'm getting rid of my Xmas decor and with as little coins as I have, i can't find a way to use all my money now when I need to save for valentines later. I'll just wait for the Xmas sale and HOPE we get some goodies, better than what was offered for thanksgiving.

An alright updates. The Gingerbread Village display should have come out last year to match with the same catalog we got. Although I do really like it, but I think it's kinda pricey and a little too late. Beaded nutcracker looks kinda cute and the size is just right for the price. At least it's better than gambling on boxes and end up with something so tiny. The abstract tree and the counter are a miss for me. I'm okay with the catalog, but it seem like we are running short on time to master these Christmas catalogs. Hopefully they will give us more time this time round.

Still hoping to see more Christmas goodie and some pretty LTO. Not forgetting a Christmas sales with past LTO, decoration and a nice gem sales! XD

I wish the boxes weren't full of tables, how many tables a boutique needs anyway.

newmoonfashion
12-18-13, 12:14 PM
Can't take pictures since it's not my shop.
It's size 4 x4 and in ice blue colors.
Only a bride wearing what looks like the snowflake ice blue dress.
She's walking down the aisle. Behind her empty! benches and frosted branches.
Very pretty, but would have loved some people on the benches too.
Many of the latest displays only have one person... Like two or three better.
Agree, too many tables in boxes.

I really like the gingerbread display, but agree with others that I will not get it, and will wait to see if we get something next week. I like the nutcracker and the catalogue too. The rach is kind of cute. Not fab, but not ugly. Overall an ok update. I am really crossing my fingers that next week will blow me away. I will be happy to buy an awesome Christmas LTO even just before, and leave it up until mid Jan. Keep it around for next year too.

About the super high coin prices lately, I do not mind so much. Gem items have been priced much lower lately,and I appreciate the heck out of that!!
Yes, it is taking me forever to save up for the next expansion, but I prefer that to LTOs and avatar dresses that are 50 gems! So keep up the hogh coin prices if that is in exchange for continued low gem prices. :-)

I agree about appreciating low gem spending vs. high coin spending only because a lot of the gem items are things I would like to have but don't want to fork over 50 to 70 gems to get them if you know what I mean! I'd rather wait longer to expand (which is what I am doing) so I can use gems for goodies I would not otherwise be able to purchase. And like you, jewelfang, I am hoping for one last pre-Christmas release filled with absolutely darling additions to the holiday collection. If TL offers more along the lines of what I am hoping for, I will buy up a bunch and leave my store decorated for a while longer and save them for next year.

Can't believe there are still no goals for this game sick of it I have had it uninstalled for months now went in and down loaded it was a big disappointment still no goals. What is going on are they just going to get rid of it like they did monster story. To bad it was a fun game now its just boring tired of not having anything to work for.

I don't mind the lack of goals too much, I have my own, mastering the **** out of catalogs that might be gone next month, I'm biting my nails here! Other than that, I'm not super impressed but I'm not disappointed with this update. I'm picky, but I'm surprised you guys don't like the abstract tree, I think it's cute having different trees (I hate the minimalist one though, it's sad & expensive). Anyhow I'm buying it for my "modern" decorated area. Have fun! Christmas is next week! *Woot*woot*

Nope.. I got it too. It's cute and I'm glad to get something that's a day catalog.
Almost all my day ones are mastered to level 4 and I like to use the last 6-8 slots for one day catalogs. Place them each morning when they're ready and helps prevent accidentally buying that extra slot during the day when ordering.

The early update is very welcome :-) Love the catalog! Not a fan of the LTO but some other nice stuff in here. Thanks TL! :-)

I do the same with the 1 day catalogue..is just that this dress is too close to christmas.
