There's four types of free gifts - Samanayrs, pets, accessories, and item bundles! Each type is being given out differently, so make sure you read everything in this post to get ready for gifting.
Each person can receive one free Samanayr, pet, accessory,
and item bundle. There's no limit to how many you can gift, if you can catch them!
Samanayrs
There are 16 - count 'em, 16! - Samanayrs that will be looking for homes through the gift-o-rama! Their giftbox is green with a red ribbon.
All of the Samanayr gifts will be given away through a random draw. Each person who wants to gift can include up to three different recipients with their Samanayr preferences for each person. 16 gifters will be randomly drawn, and the first person on their list will receive a gift Samanayr! If the first person listed has already received a free Samanayr gift, I'll go on to the next person in the gifter's entry. If the same happens with the next person, I'll go on to their third person. If all three have recived a gift, I'll go on to the next randomly drawn entry.
Rules!
- Each person can send in one gifting PM.
- Please send me a PM on PI or the Sam forum, not both places.
The Samanayrs won't be revealed until the gifts open, but here's a sneak peek at them! I can say that there's not a single regular Samanayr in the bunch, they're all other species XD
If you'd like to gift a free Samanayr to someone, please send a PM to this account with the subject "Gifting - free Samanayr" and the following filled out:

This will be open until
December 18, 22:00 PI time (2pm PST)!
Pets
There are 7 different types of pets, and there will be 4 available of each type. Their giftbox is white with a red ribbon.
All of these pets are minor pets, which means that they can't breed and don't come with a cert. There will also be multiple pets with the same image. However, they can still be added to your Samanayr's image if you want to equip the pet to them, and if a Sam with a pet is equipped there's always a chance their offspring will have a similar pet!
Pets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and will be available at random times before
December 18. When a pet type becomes available, you'll be asked to send a PM to this account with the name of the person you'd like to gift. More details will be available when pet slots are actually open!
Availability announcements will be posted to either the Sam forum and PI,
or just the Sam forum, so keep an eye out!
Here's the different pet types that will be available! They're all avians and based on real birds - a field swallow, a snowy owl, two chickadees, a cedar waxwing, and two doves!
Accessories
There will be three kinds of accessory available - a Jingle Bell Cuff, Holly Hair Clip, and Jingle Bell Harness! There will be a total of 15 accessories available, but you can decide which type your recipient will receive
Like the pets, accessories will be available at random times before
December 18 and will be first-come, first-served. When they're available, please send me a PM with the following:
Gift recipient:
Accessory:
Good luck!
Item bundles
There are 20 item bundles available, each with 1-3 randomly determined tradeable items. Their giftbox is red with a gold ribbon.
Like the pets and accessories, item bundles will be available at random times before
December 18 and will be first-come, first-served. I'll be releasing them in batches of 5. Good luck
