What are gifts?

Gifts are items you can send to your Friends on Sumdog. When your friend receives the gift it will be added to their inventory for them to use on their Avatar or in their House or Garden.

Some things to note about gifts:

  • You can only send gifts to your Friends. For instructions on adding Friends, click here.
  • There is a daily limit of one gift per Friend. When you send a Friend a gift, you won't be able to send that same Friend a gift until the following day (though you'll still be able to send gifts to other Friends)
  • As with buying an item for yourself, you'll need to have enough coins to purchase a gift for your Friend
