I can't believe I blew my gems on boxes, stupid, stupid. Was remodeling about to buy all the Christmas decor when I check the forum and saw pepper's post. Anyways glad to see this sale.

12-18-14, 03:57 PM
So glad I didn't keep trying for the Baker's Square after I got the two 2nd place prizes. And finally, I can have my coffee bean display - the one and only LTO I regret not buying!!!! Sooooooooo excited!!!!!!

Thx TL but I wish u wouldn't decide to put mystery box items on sale for less than 24 gems. It really frustrates me when i c items that I got for 24 gems now being sold for 18 gems.

filochick1982
12-18-14, 04:25 PM
I think it's balanced out by the fact that first place prizes are 49 gems. Or what about the Haunted House out of an old Halloween box for 70 gems? Coincidentally it's the only first place prize I've ever received from opening a box, and this was AFTER I already bought it for 70 gems so looks like I will have two houses to display next Halloween.

On RS they released the Petal Pond for 13 gems. I have opened that box so many times trying for that one specific item. I have gotten almost everything from it, some twice. But I FINALLY get to just buy it! So I understand the frustration but it's also extremely generous for them to release out of box items! Almost everything in this sale are times people have been begging for. Thank you so much TL! I have a feeling you guys will be raking in the cash. I know you will from me. On all my games!

I'm so glad to see the items but why so much at one time? I have some gems but I'm low on coins believe it or not. I've been trying to build them back up. I have loads of coins on restaurant story. I'm not sure how this happened. I guess I just buy more stuff on Bakery Story.

I have a neighbor with EIGHT of those. Also three of the bakers square. I think they will be highly peeved to see it out of the box. But I love it. I opened the box many times but got all fourth place items. I wanted the Ferris wheel. It doesn't say winter totally even though they are dressed for cold weather. But I refused to touch it again, for fear Id attempt to bite my ipad in lieu of those ridiculous elves.

12-18-14, 04:58 PM
I've tabulated all I want to get and the gems I'll need and I seriously hope they don't give me a 20 percent off sale. I need the 580 gem package and need it to be 30%. Or I could wait to see if we get another 40 percent off sale but me thinks the prices may be tampered with. And I don't want that. Now I'm off to change what I want for Xmas!

Guys! My 30% gem sale disappeared. In Bakery only! I logged off to call my card to see if I had to wait until tomorrow or not to buy gems and when I logged back in my gem sale was gone! I hope it comes back tomorrow. I don't want to wait for the items incase the price starts going up like on BF or the sale ends early or something.

12-18-14, 05:05 PM
I got the Baker's Square, Coffee Bean Display, Sampler Cart, and Pie Rack. Nice sale. I already have some of the other ones from last year's sale. I bought gems and was more than happy to do so since there were things I wanted. Thanks TL! Now I just need to redecorate at some point.

I agree! Haha. We may get one for Xmas. I just don't want to wait for one. If they give me a 30 percent off sale I'll get some and still get some later if we have the better one. I'll just save those gems, not opening Valentine boxes for a rainy day.

You have that many coins? o.O

Though I agree id love more expansions in fashion too especially. I'll happily throw gems at it. I used gems for bakery most of the time anyways. I just noticed the snow ball chairs that I just adore. However they are expensive and with just 600,000 coins I can't afford as many as Id like.

chewytwix
12-18-14, 06:07 PM
Oh I don't. I saved up coins for every expansion, and I'm saving more coins in case they ever give us more expansions. Lol. Nothing else left to do in the games..

12-18-14, 06:11 PM

Are the gem sales totally random? I get them fairly often but always just assumed it meant all players got the gem sale at the same time? Need a gem sale. Need s gem sale. Need a gem sale now. I want the 580 gem package!

filochick1982
12-18-14, 06:23 PM
I agree. We need more expansions and I'd be happy to pay gems for them. My bakery is the largest size and now it's too small when I have so much decor to display :( My bakery is cramped as it is and I haven't even bought the gem items from this week's update! I would love to display most of my stuff but there just isn't enough room for it all.

Lotus fountain! Can't believe it. Thank you so much TL. Wonder how many gems I'll have left after this sale...so many things to get Sampler cart, coffee pods, barista counter, garden tea party, baker's square along with the lotus fountain for sure. We should get a 40% gem sale day after Christmas, if they do what they have in the past. And for a change there's actually stuff worth buying!

Compare BFS and today's Christmas Sale, I am more than happy to see today' sale. One thing don't understand is, TL put out certain tables for sale during BFS and as for chairs, there are avaiable on this Christmas Sale. Why can't they put them together for sale.

So do I. They're random. I have a sale for fashion and restaurant on main account but none on the others. I've been waiting for a bakery sale for two days now. They're usually 2-3 days apart for me. Some broke days I get two days in a row but those are to tease me and are very rare.

Anyone know where the Santa Sleigh is from? It's not too expensive, but I have a feeling if I buy it, I'll later regret it, but then I feel like if I don't I'll regret it. Lol. I only grabbed the lotus fountain and baker's square so far. The Pastry Hub I passed on before and didn't really miss it, so I'm not shelling out gems for it this time, but I hope others grab everything they've been wishing for! Thanks!

Lokichan13
12-18-14, 07:15 PM
I am pretty sure its from one of the 2012 boxes sls0991...but I might be wrong, so you might want to double check the master box list.
Soooo excited about this, I already have quite a few of the big items but they have some of my favorites that I wanted from my black Friday list :D
Also I am really happy its going for 18 days, because I have christmas and bday money coming my way...and I am spending some of it on this :D
...Especially since I already spent my black friday gems lol...

I highly recommend people don't wait til the last week to buy these items. TL are notorious for hiking up the price or taking the sale away within hours of the supposed sale ending. Do not wait too long people! I'm buying everything I want as soon as I get a gem sale. No way would I risk missing out on anything.

You can preview any item by dragging it from the menu to a space that's already occupied and you'll be able to see the entire item in your own bakery without the buy sign cluttering the graphic (and it prevents you from accidentally buying it as you might in a clear space).

I second this. I'll go as far to say not to wait any longer than today or getting a gem sale so you can purchase everything you want. The 18 day counter seems really strange to me... I feel like TL could pull it any minute, especially since they've done it many times before and I NEVER remember having a sale like this for 2 weeks. o.O

But I'm still grateful for the sale anyway, and I hope there are more like it in the near future!

Thank you Lokichan13 and Natasha_07. I may purchase it yet!

Wow I just started playing BS and RS after taking a few years off! Boy have I missed out! This sale is amazing compared to the flop of a Black Friday sale. I pray for a gem sale before they up the prices. Because I think we all know it's gonna happen before the supposed 18 days are up. Anyways, at least they listened to our requests, thanks TL!

Right now there was a bug. i got my fairy grotto for only 20 gems instead of 28. The Barista counter was up for 25 for a tiny while.😊
But now it is back to the higher prices.I bought the garden party but it said my bakery was out of sync so it was gone...weird things happens!!

Finally got a gem sale and bought:

1 x Polar bear
1 x Lotus fountain
1 x Coffee bean display
1 x North Pole express
1 x Date night
An extra Waffle Cone Bench
1 x Baker's Square

Then from this week's update:
4 x Christmas doors
1 x Christmas wreath
6 x candy tables
6 x Christmas tables
A few candy heart tiles
1 x Winter Proposal
1 x Candy Cane Fountain
1 x Fireplace Stockings

Everything I didn't buy was stuff I already had or didn't want.

Not much left from 580 gems! LOL

Now I just need a gem sale in Fashion Story!

There was a sale the day of or the day after Christmas. Some of the same items and a few new ones smd the gem sale again. I'm still waiting for a sale. Had one in fashion and got a bunch of goodies. Especially two winter weddings. I calculated how many gems I need and what I want on here. I even woke up due to a bakery related dream to see if I had s gem sale. Nothing yet. Now I will have these games on my brain all day as I wait for the reset yet again.

12-19-14, 06:58 AM
I think TL will release 40% off a day after xmas/on xmas since they have done that every since I played four years ago. They definitely do mean days and not hours since the offer will expire sometime after new years.

The only question is if they might release NEW items sometime now and New Years hrm...now that one I'm not too sure.

I can't figure out what I want. I like the lotus fountain, but how many fountains do I need? I like the bakers square but I seriously don't have space in my bakery even fully expanded. I'll probably buy the coffee bean display. The rest I have or am not interested in.

Hrmmm

You can also drag it into the green unused expansion space - that's what I usually do then I know it's nowhere near my bakery to accidentally purchase!

THANK YOU TL now THIS is what I call a GREAT sale!!!!!

I can't figure out what I want. I like the lotus fountain, but how many fountains do I need? I like the bakers square but I seriously don't have space in my bakery even fully expanded. I'll probably buy the coffee bean display. The rest I have or am not interested in.

Hrmmm

So if i understood it right, you mean that after christmas the gem items ( Barista counter, e.t.c) will be a little bit cheaper? Sorry english is not my first language.😊Was it always like that??Someone please help.

By the way does anyone know for sure that it is not a mistake the 18 days??? I'm afraid it's a bug and it's only 18 hours...Can a stuff member confirm it???

I'm NOT a staff member, but... the sale started a little over 18 hours ago. So, it's not an 18 hour sale.

But, like others have said, .... TL is known for changing prices AND adding/removing items from sales. Some people have mentioned concern about the prices going UP. I'm concerned that prices may go DOWN (have they ever done that before?) I already bought everything I want, I feel I got a 'fair' price on the items; but who doesn't want to save more, right?

40% off buying gems. It would make sense as a selling tactic. Offer the items for a small or no discount to get people to buy gems or use gems that have been saved (now). Then slash prices after the holidays to get people to buy more or tempt the people who didn't buy any the first time.

However, this is teamlava. So I don't understand them and their decisions half the time..

The gem sale will go down to 40% off, as opposed to the usual 20-30%. The decor price may change or may stay the same. We never got something like this a week before xmas before so we are just guessing as to how prices changed after Black Friday. They usually increased slightly. I hope that doesn't happen now. 580 gems will fit all I want perfectly. If they mess with the prices before next week, before I get a gem sale it won't be cool.

So please give me a darn gem sale tonight! I wanna redecorate. Matter of fact Im about to rip everything out of my shop and go on a cooking spree.

I spent my entire afternoon redecorating, so now I'm one happy baker.

Where did you find that? Did it pop up in your game? I'm on android too, but I didn't see it when I downloaded my game, and my recipes are locked. No timer at all. But I would love for them to unlock these recipes, I wanted to bake that holiday cupcake since I started playing this game.

Right now there was a bug. i got my fairy grotto for only 20 gems instead of 28. The Barista counter was up for 25 for a tiny while.😊
But now it is back to the higher prices.I bought the garden party but it said my bakery was out of sync so it was gone...weird things happens!!

When did this happen the bug?

Compare BFS and today's Christmas Sale, I am more than happy to see today' sale. One thing don't understand is, TL put out certain tables for sale during BFS and as for chairs, there are avaiable on this Christmas Sale. Why can't they put them together for sale.

Hey I was wondering about the tables and chairs too. Yes, they should have put them together. I'm wondering why they have new candy cane tables and chairs. The old ones were nice and they just offered them. These look virtually the same. I don't like the high price on the chairs either. I'm so low on coins. Anyway, I was just visiting someone's shop and noticed they had snowglobe chairs. I'm wondering why I don't have any. Did I just miss them when I bought the tables or were they gem only items and I didn't have any gems? I hope they bring both back for the winter theme.

The snow globe tables and chairs are from Christmas 2012, with the tables a hefty 8 gems. I passed on those.

As for the gingerbread and candy cane chairs in Wednesday's update they're priced the same as when I bought them long ago.

I do like the Christmas table they gave us this week, at 1 gem it's rather cheap considering the cheapest gem tables are +4 gems.

Oh you are right that is a deal. I didn't really notice and only bought two. I was too distracted by the limited time items. 30,000 for the chairs last year? Maybe that is why I only bought 2 then. I bought some more but I have to build up my coins to finish my set.

Thanks for the info.

It happens. What annoys me is seeing them still there to mess with me. I want those love muffins so bad I can taste them. And those cute xmas cupcakes. I saw a shop with those speciality ovens where the food doesn't go bad and she has all those old items cooked and sitting on the stoves. The grinch knows so many want to make those and she has it there as dedoration. Yep, I'm jealous.

I finally got my gem sale and was thinking if I should wait to see if we will get a 40% off sale. But after going back and forth I went ahead and bought my items. I'm however coin poor yet again and don't know if it's worth Decorating for xmas or if I should go for a winter theme. Or lastly what I thouht Id do on the last week of the money. Get started on Valentine's!

After getting my silver dragon on DS and 580 gems here Im broke. I'll feel bad when that sale comes and I can't get anything.

I'm delighted to say that I've joined the ranks of the happy players who own the Barista Counter! I'd desperately hoped to get it on Black Friday so to finally get my hands on it now is fantastic! The Baker's Square was also very high on my wishlist so that was bought straight away too! I'm now frantically trying to earn some gems to grab another item or two which will fit really nicely in the revamped bakery I'm planning early next year.

Thanks so much TeamLava for offering a sale everyone loves! The items available seem to be skewed towards those which have been most requested (Barista Counter, Lotus Fountain etc.) and the longer time limit makes for a much less stressful experience! Great work!

Team Lava really needs to implement a gem transfer/gift feature. I have 500 gems in game leftover from Black Friday and after buying a few things from this sale. I don't have any cash to buy anymore or gift anyone an itunes card, etc, but if there was a way I would happily gift you some gems. I'm sorry for anyone who is missing out on this sale. :(

That would be great...however, creating a virtual economy where people exchange gems for items of other players etc, encourages hacking, especially foreign hacking. I have been in too many mmos that were ruined by a virtual economy... Exchanging items would be nice :) but that also requires a lot of additional recoding of the game. Due to the simplicity of the code, I doubt the staff will want to go back and recode the game in order to facilitate trading...

I bought it since it would go great with a coffee house theme with the Barista Counter. It was 20 gems....so why not. If you have it, may as well, unless you are actually near the end of your supply and may not get anymore soon. If you can spare the gems, I say it go for it. But if not, you don't NEED it to go with anything else, so you can be just fine without it. :)

The Coffee Bean display was the only LTO I regretted not getting and kicked myself every time I saw it in another bakery next to the barista counter. I often wondered whether I would ever get another opportunity to buy it again, and what a pleasant surprise it was brought back so thanks a million times over, TL! I'm planning a whole coffee shop theme in the near future, so this will be absolutely perfect. Now, I have no idea if the the coffee pod display was from an old box or an LTO, but if it ever came back, I'd snap it up in a nanosecond too!

I just seem to have the worst luck with sales in Bakery. First, with the premature timer on Black Friday, and now, with the Christmas sale, some of the items I bought appear to have cost more than they were listed for. If it weren't so sad, I'd laugh at myself. Maybe I should just stay away from the game when a sale comes on :p

Defs barista counter !!! It was a limited offer in 2012 and it was 49 gems (cmiiw) :) It is not from a box so you might never have another chance to buy it. Along with coffee bean display for 28 gems in 2012.

The fairy kitchen is also from a limited time offer fyi.

I love the coffee bean display. It's really cool. Like the barista counter it's pretty realistic and I like that. Not much into the crazy fairy grotto type stuff that's not anything remotely realistic. Anyway, I bought the coffee bean display and had the barista counter already. With the coffee shop items from the goals earlier this year I can make a full-fledged coffee shop. I ought to rename my place Panera. Anyway it's really cool. I bought three things from the coffee box but dang it, I got the coffee cup tree twice. Grrrr. Would've loved the worker or study session but I did get the first date so that's nice. Anyway good stuff all around

sls0991
12-22-14, 05:32 PM
I really recommend the Lotus Fountain and the Barista Counter, because they are such rare items, especially the Lotus Fountain. And the prices are really unbeatable, 35 gems each, that's like opening a box 1 1/2 times. Great deals. I'd also recommend any of the first prize box items for two reasons. 1, people are really starting to complain about TL releasing them out of the box for such low prices, so they might stop doing that in the future. And 2, the first prize items are very difficult to get, so grabbing them now would be wise if you really want them. So that is the Fairy Grotto, Baker's Square, Pastry Hub, Garden Tea Party and Mother's Gazebo. Santa's Sleigh and North Pole Express are also from retired boxes, no longer available (unless you have an old version on the game and an Android phone, so if you have the gems and like the items, grab them as you might not be able to get them again in the future.

I think I might grab an extra Mother's Gazebo. Got my first one from a previous Black Friday Sale. So cheap at the moment. Also really considering another Coffee Bean display...

I have both, and they work well together. If you only can afford to get one of those items, then I would get the barista counter. You can create a nice little coffee section in your bakery using the coffee items from the coffee goals we had back in September.

The Barista Counter has to be hands down the most popular display in this game's history. It was the first ever gem purchase I had made with real money. I wonder how many players have it now? It's been offered in 2012, 2013 and now 2014...honestly if was considering buying one I would definitely snap it up now. There's a high probability that it won't be offered for the 4th time in 2015.

LOL I've always had OCD with symmetry but couldn't decorate that way previously as I didn't have two of the same displays until recently!

My place is decked out in full Christmas decor at the moment so not planning to display these items til next year. The mothers gazebo may need to wait til Mother's Day or Spring, and the coffee stuff maybe in April, not sure yet. Planning a whole winter theme in Jan, Valentine's in Feb, St Patrick's Day in Mar, Easter in Apr, etc. I don't think I have enough content to fill up my whole bakery with these theme so I could squeeze in a coffee section somewhere I guess.

My favorite theme has been the library/coffee. I had the library one for months until the coffee goals which was something I rarely do as I like to change it up often.

I had the book store, bookclub meeting & barista counter together with the coffee stuff. It works so good together.
I'm thinking whether I should get the coffee bean display, as I'm not sure if I'll see again on sale.

Get the coffee bean display. You'll be happy you have it, because it may not show up again once the sale is over.

So I'm just curious of anyone who has the bookclub meeting and bookstore displays. I have the bookstore and am contemplating the bookclub meeting to match, but it looks very strange in comparison to me. The size is off, it's so much bigger than the bookstore/library. And the colors and weird shelf in the middle is very odd to me. I just can't justify spending the gems atm, even though I could. I'd just rather save them so I don't have to spend money on this game until maybe this time next year, lol, if at all honestly. I'm just hoping for some amazing spring stuff this year since we didn't get much last year. So over winter tbh.

I have the bookstore and am contemplating the bookclub meeting to match, but it looks very strange in comparison to me. The size is off, it's so much bigger than the bookstore/library. And the colors and weird shelf in the middle is very odd to me. I just can't justify spending the gems atm, even though I could. I'd just rather save them so I don't have to spend money on this game until maybe this time next year, lol, if at all honestly. I'm just hoping for some amazing spring stuff this year since we didn't get much last year. So over winter tbh.

Here is how I have it set up in my bakery. I do not know how to make my photo bigger

The coffee bean display is a nice choice. :)

Hey I need some advice! Is it worth spending real money on this sale since there are so many rare items? I usually never buy gems but I really want to buy some. Also, I have 2 bakeries, would it be weird to buy gems on both? Ahh I need help!!

Others have said day after Christmas there is a 40% off gem sale but I'm not certain but since the sale goes into the new year I'm waiting and not weird at all to buy for both bakeries:)

So excited for these items! I spent actual money (which is rare) and went a little nuts. I bought the Baker's Square, Sampler Cart, Pastry Hub, and Coffee Bean Display. Also used some leftover gems to open the donut box and got the condiment counter. Quite the happy camper over here. I actually can't wait for Christmas to be over so I can do a coffee shop/pretty pink bakery with my new stuff.

Still 11 days to buy a few of these wonderful things. Is the pastry hub worth buying it? I'm thinking about getting it.

I think it's worth it. If I had to prioritise what displays to buy, I would buy bakery related items over other decor. The Pastry Hub definitely belongs in a bakery.

I didn't get the pastry hub last year and regretted it...so it was the second Item I bought this time around! :D

Isn't it from a box? But it's a little bit expensive,compared to the Barista counter. Love these great Items and we have enough time!😁

Yes it's a first place prize from the Cake and Tea box which means your chances of getting it from the box is 1%. Unless you are that lucky 1% of players, it will take a lot more than 49 gems to get it from the box! I highly recommend you buy it now out of the box or any other first place prizes. They are extremely rare. The Barista Counter was an LTO - it was never from a box.

I'm still going crazy ordering, baking and cooking for three shops. Trying to collect gems to buy at least 3 main pieces. It's insane! Worst part is I have my Mom playing again to get gems from all these versions of games to download, collect gems, buy the goodies and let me dedorate her shop! I'm so happy they have us so many days to save, decide and buy.

I don't recall ever seeing a 'Christmas sale' before in the last 2 years, the only times I've seen LTO's & box items on sale is during BF. Maybe they did before 2012 as I wasn't playing before that.

There were definitely Christmas sales because I got these box items during those sales:

Trevi fountain
Art stand
Surfboard display
Sandcastle

I have screenshots of the last 3 Black Friday sales and the above items aren't in that so that's why I know they're from old Christmas sales.

Were those items around 40 gems ?

I'm pretty sure that sale was December 2012. The beach hut, barista & gelato were like 50 gems back then.

This all I found in google images on any previous holiday sale, as I don't find anything on the forums.

I did a quick scan at the forum and found a talk about LTO sales in Christmas 2012 but people didn't post screenshots. Found a blog post somewhere but I am not allowed to post outside links here... so I'm just going to post her screencaps instead. :) If you google her blogspot you'll be able to see the whole post! ;)

Thanks PepperWoo! That's definitely the sale I bought those items from! So it looks like there was no Christmas sale in 2013? I honestly can't remember...

Yeah.. I have searched the forum for the Christmas sale 2013 but only found regular weekly updates, no great sale or anything except Black Friday.

Ahh! I'm so excited, I finally got a gem sale! I bought soo much, more than I should have....:p I got the sampler cart, pastry hub, lotus fountain, fairy grotto, fairy kitchen, coffee bean display, barista counter, pie rack, and the bakers square. I'm so happy these items were released again! Thanks TL! Now I just need to expand my bakery to fit all of this stuff!

P.s. I went a little overboard, I bought almost as much on my second bakery :rolleyes:

Woohoo! I love reading about folks who went all out and filled their shops. I'm going to buy a tiny bit of gems to get one main piece for my 2nd and 3rd shops. Don't want them all to look the same so deciding between the bakers square and barista counter. I tell myself of how hard it was to get the pastry hub on main account, then another part of me says not everything can be pink. I know...crazy right?! But I have just a few more days to decide and am done cooking to save gems. My fingers just can't take anymore. So 50 gems and I'll make do and dedorate as best I can.

Have fun with your stuff!

I'm so upset! My Debit Card #?was scammed on Christmas Day and I've not been able 2 make anymore gem purchases since then bcuz they had 2 close out the card. Believe me I'm so ticked off. my credit union told me it would take 7-9 business day for me 2 receive me new card so I've got my fingers crossed.

Then on top of things, I got caught in a gem trap and lost 100 gems when I accidentally bought 1,000,000 coins when my stylus slipped and hit that button at the top of my screen where ur able to purchase coins for either 10'or 100 gems and since they'd already refunded 10 gems for me last yr when I'd accidentally hit that button and they'd tood me that they'd not do it a 2nd time, I knew that they wouldn't do it a 2nd time.

There's a few more items that I really want but not being able 2 purchase gems right now I'm just hoping..... I'm maxed on all the recipes and all the appliances so keep ur fingers crossed 4 me plz. At 1st I wasn't really gonna purchase a whole lot but after visiting various bakeries and thinking about it ive decided what the heck, let's go 4 it and then diseaster strikes. I hope things will work out and I get my card in the mail tomorrow.

That sucks big time! I always keep my fingers from touching the top of my tab screen. Happened to me before, learned the hard way. Hope it goes well for you!

I would get it if only so you don't regret not getting it later. The colors go really well with the majority of the other items from the sale. I think it would look nice next to the Lotus Fountain and the Pastry Hub and even the Barista Counter. It reminds me of a bakery I went to that had a little garden section out back.

Yeah it says 20 hours left... so it should end at 10pm UK time I guess? But I would advise you to buy the things that you want much earlier, right now if possible, cause there have been many cases in the past where people would buy things close to the remaining time left, only to find out that their purchases didn't sync properly so they ended up with none of the items they bought in their storage.

I didn't get all the things I wanted on my 2nd and 3rd bakery but came out good overall. I was supposed to get the barista counter but I just couldn't handle all the tip, top, tapping anymore. Oh well! This was a great event and my shops will look great.

I'm very pleased with all my sale purchases. I was able to get a few items in my Wishlist so I'm a happy camper. Also feel very lucky I was around for all the previous sales from 2012 onwards as those sales were very good too. There are only a handful of displays in boxes now that I still want.
