Gingerbread items are in holiday gift box on sale!!!

So the holiday box is what was called the Gingerbread 2011 box in the retired gift box section of the gift box thread? I bought 1 box and got the gingerbread boy greeter (4th prize).

the ferris wheel was in the box released last week. christmas present 2012 in master box list, released last week as holiday present, because they're being inclusive. (they're also being confusing, but whatever.)

Thanks for the box info twospoons! :)

I'm really surprised to see Winter Frost Chairs on that list :eek: They weren't even a Christmas item; they were added in January with the winter frost goals! Could a mod confirm whether they're supposed to be on that list?

Ah, I was hoping for the snow globe counter since they brought the table and chair last week. But alas no! >_< Only one more week left.

Thinking any winter/Christmas items that have not been offered yet will be next week. It seems they are getting rid of all of it.

yep, that's right. they retire all these beautiful things kinda forever:
i've checked old versions downloaded for android, and everything meant in current sales, is gone from old versions too, unfortunatelly...

I've tried so many times for gingerbread tree and house and have 3 of each of all the other items except those 2 i feel like maybe it's not random and there are items you cannot get, ohh well I guess I'll just hope they get released again.

I got the Gingerbread House, first try LOL. So excited!! Now I wish I had bought some gingerbread tables and chairs but they were so expensive AHH.

Omg don't feel bad. I have tried so hard to get that Marionette show in the Fairytale box and the Tea House in the Tea Chest or whatever it's called. It really is completely random, because I just opened the gingerbread box for the first time ever and got the most unexpected prize. When that happens, I don't dare open it again. I'm not a fan of boxes at all. They should cut the price in half and maybe then it would be a little more fair and worth it.

I saw that donut tree in so many shops last year. Took me a few times of asking around before I was told where it came from. It was my first time seeing it and I wanted some. But im tired of winter and xmas in bakery and rs. I have more than enough items between them both and wont bother buying gems to get anything else. Even though id really love to try for the tree.

Now fashion is another story. SO many things they can release to make me break my finger buying gems to buy!

Not that I need more Christmas decor but had another go at the Santa's Gift Bag box becuase I didn't get all the items I wanted the first time this box came out, and TL were very quick to remove it straight after Christmas 2013. I got everything except 1st place which I'm not too fussed about as its not Christmasy at all being an ice skating rink. To me it just looks like generic winter decor which I also already have too much of already. I normally am not keen on pianos but Im so happy to get the piano in this one because it's pretty, and now I have two snowmen workshops as well, plus a million donut trees, and other the other 3rd and 4th place items. I think I might use my donut trees with my items from the Donut box.

This was my thinking as well. I didn't buy the christmas tables when they released them around christmas time (not even sure when it was exactly) because they didn't include the chairs. They did this time so I spend too many gems on them and still didn't get as many as I wanted and had to sacrifice the gingerbread table. I've been hoarding gems for so long that I don't want to spend them all as I am waiting for some nice spring items (I barely have anything for spring). I'm glad we are getting the chance to buy these items again, but I wish it was around October/November and not March.. lol.

Anyone keeping count of when this latest one expires? I am waiting for a gem sale but thinking if I don't get one tomorrow at reset (Saturday) I need to go ahead of I want anything but not clear when it expires. Thanks!

It says "2" days right now, but knowing how the counter works, it's probably closer to 1 day. I was able to get the gingerbread house on three of my accounts, I think. Possibly all four, I forgot! But anyway...I finally got it! So adorable!

So if you haven't reached the level the retired item was at then you can't get it?

Thanks I got gem sales in both my bakeries and got the gingerbread house for both I'm sooooo glad! Now do I keep trying for the reindeer or give it up!

deekathleen what level are you at? I think it might have been level 45 or higher to get some of the coin or gem items but I don't recall - but I know it is a bummer when you can't try for things due to level. The boxes should not be level specific.

03-14-15, 11:53 AM

I'm at level 40 I think.

Welcome, I promise from Saudi Arabia, the truth is very wonderful game

But prices are very expensive land
We want to reduce the hours of eating
We also want to be eating currencies between 10/20 penny
We want to tile Black and Black wall tiles dark purple various forms of wall and golden color
We also want when you visit our neighbors instead of i 15 pennies penny for it too expensive land

Thanks so much for the Christmas items! I was unable to get the Gingerbread Baker* from Santa's Gift although it's not on the master thread list. I hope I can get it when it comes around next time!! I'm also hoping for a rerelease of the Gingerbread Stool! Thankfully I snagged the Gingerbread Sconse and the Gingerbread Counter.
I would be so excited for the Reindeer to be released again, they are the coolest and my bakery is kind of dedicated to them!

(*Not to be confused with the Holiday 2011 1st Prize Gingerbread Baker, these apparently came in Santa's Gift Bag.)

And now we have a Gem sale! Goodness, I have to buy gems on my android tablet because I can only use ******. (Must resist!!) I hate that an i-product doesn't give you that option.

Just an FYI at Target they frequently have iTunes gift cards for 15% off I use those to buy my gems double sale! If you use Targets cartwheel they often have the coupon on there too.

argh! how did I get all the bad/boring stuff from the winter box? all I wanted was the snow couple or the gingerbread snowmen, but I got ANOTHER ugly fireplace, and two 2nd place cakes! (also shelves, tree and branches, but those are okay)

it is way too easy to tell yourself "just one more...the next one's gonna be good, I just know it."

I am about coin broke...lol. My bakery is pretty small so I don't have a lot of room for the larger decor items. Therefore I try to do some sort of design with the walls and floors. And at prices of 10k or 12k coin per panel or tile....ughhh. Gem wise I am ok though...did grab some v of those gingerbread sconces and a few tables for gems (I think). Actually close to mastering a few more recipes so think I will grab a couple more sconces in these waning sale hours.

*sad face* Didn't manage to get the adorable house! I got everything, except the house and the obviously 1st prize item. I was kinda surprised when I got the tree. Years of playing bs and this is my first time winning a 2nd prize item. Ha! I'm usually doom with the 4th prize item or slightly better 3rd prize item only. >__<

I swear I feel like biting the darn gingerbread greeter's head off when I got him twice! I wish they can do something about the freaking pathetic tiny size. It's only 1/4 of one floor tile for goodness sake! I wouldn't be so mad if the size is one floor tile, but not 1/4 of it.

So I was tempted into opening the Holiday Gift Box 3 times...in order...House...Table...House. The table is just so-so. It could have been worse of course, but I was really hoping to catch the couch, or the reindeer, or the tree, or the lamp post. Oh well, dang boxes, sigh.
