What is your favorite thing about Holibombs? To be honest, it's a feeling you get deep down inside when you gift someone. I get warm n fuzzy feeling giving someone something off their wl.

Oh right! Finished my responses a while ago and forgot to post it! But these are my responses, I loveee seeing all the reactions <3


Giving

A tiny blue hampter scampers towards you. "Holibomb attack!!" It squeaks out of the blue.
It quickly skuttles back to the direction it came from.
"Wait!! Who are you??" You ask with a mixture of confusion and awe.
The hampter gets on its little blue shell and says its final words before flying away on its shell.
"i amn just... a litle creacher"

Receiving

You sneak up on the tiny rodent and hand it your gift. "Happy Holidays!"
Surprised, the hampter scurries away and hides in its shell. It seems wary, maybe it'll come out once you leave.
As soon as you turn around, you hear a little squeak.
"Thank you!" A tiny voice says. Turns out, it really is just a little guy.

Omg these are so cute! Just a little guy!

I have two different dressups, an adult dog for giving and a pup for receiving. Both have edited lines that fit really well! My gifting dog got allll the present items, I literally filled the whole canvas!

This is her! I also wrote a little story to go with her.

What is your favorite thing about Holibombs? My favorite thing about Holibombs, is gifting people and making them happy. I always try to do little things in everyday life, to brighten someone's day and make people happy, and do things to help them, such as helping some of my homeless friends that come by my work with some food or clothes or other necessities, or simply by smiling, being friendly, or giving someone a compliment etc. When I gift a holibomb, I always aim to gift someone something on their wishlist first, but if none available, offer something not on wishlist so they could have extra to trade away or something. I hope that by gifting someone something they have been wanting, is a little something to bring a smile to their face and make them happy, even a little. Making people happy feels good to me, so that's what I love about this game every year. Happy holidays everyone!! Omg I just saw I got carried away with my explanation...I always do this when explaining something I'm excited or passionate about..whoops!!

Thought I'd share as I've seen a few other people do this:

Did something different this year. Usually I'll have a cute dress-up and a custom message for each person, but I felt like doing something a little more silly instead.


Last few years (above) ⇡ & This year (below) ⇣


❝𝓜𝓮𝔀𝔀𝔂 𝓒𝓱𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓶𝓪𝓼❞
Awkwardly says the fluffy creature disguised as a snow bunny.

❝Here's to a better year ahead and more smiles to come❞
They continue, as they point at you in particular,
o indicate who they're talking to. Though he did so with his tongue
for he has no apposable thumbs, nor hands, or anything of the sort.

After all, it wouldn't have been fair to the snow bunnies
on his scarf if he hadn't made it clear who he was talking to.
Snow bunny confusion is a terrible thing and often results in snowball hoarding.

I’m planning on getting to 50 gifted today!
My gifts are small but occasionally I’ll give out something big. Like this one that is pending trades/viewtrade.php?id=108875692&userid=948125&signature=3p_6EZc-fq4WbD-R5HmNzg

I hope everyone is having fun with this holibomb season.
