The Teddy Bear Gift Exchange!

The time has come for the Teddy Bear Gift Exchange! Crafting Teddy Bears in the Gift Exchange will earn you Tickets, which you can redeem for rewards and the exclusive baby Girgentana Goat! 

If you are level 12 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the “Start Building” button to get started.

   

Building the Teddy Bear Gift Exchange:

Your first step is collecting Building Materials. You will need the following items to start building your Teddy Bear Gift Exchange. 

• Crafting Baskets
• Green Cloths
• Red Wooden Planks

To collect Crafting Baskets, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your Friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.

Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Green Cloths and Red Wooden Planks to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

Note: You can send requests for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.       

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction Menu. 

  

Now that the Teddy Bear Gift Exchange is almost complete, you will need a little help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Teddy Bear Gift Exchange requires four additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Build Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish & Share” button.
