Neopian Holiday Gift Guide


by neogirl67890682

--------

It’s that wonderful time of year again, when there’s a chill in the air, Christmas lights, snow on the ground, festive music everywhere, and of course, the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping that comes with it. For some, this can be the most stressful part of the season, as it can be quite difficult to determine the best gift to get for your Neofriends and family. Have no fear, though! This gift guide is here to help melt that stress away so that you can enjoy the holiday season… and the smile that you will put on your Neofriends faces with these great gifts!

     1. Collectables: Is your loved one an avid stamp collector? Maybe they have stacks and stacks of Neodeck cards displayed in their room and hoarded in boxes under the bed? Collectables such as these are ALWAYS a great gift that your Neofriends will be sure to appreciate and that will bring happiness to them each time they browse through their collection and see your gift placed there. Many people tend to assume that these kinds of gifts can be unaffordable, but that’s far from the truth! With just a little bit of searching, you’ll see that there are collectable items, such as stamps and Neodeck cards galore at all different price ranges.

     2. Clothing and wearables: Who doesn’t LOVE getting cute new clothes?! With a vast number of options to choose from, you’re sure to find the PERFECT item to complete your Neofriend’s new outfit they are planning for their pet. There is so much flexibility in this category, from background items at Mystical Surroundings, to cute clothing and accessories from Uni’s Clothing, to an endless amount of goodies from the Neocash Mall… need go on? Plus, you really can’t go wrong with a cute new item to dress up their pet in.

     3. Petpets or Petpetpets: Do you already know of a certain little furry or scaly little friend your Neo-bestie has been eyeing? People always love Petpets! Probably because they’re such adorable little critters that range in hundreds (maybe even thousands?!) of styles and colours to choose from that everyone can find the perfect match for their Neopet. Oh, did I forget to mention Petpetpets? These little critters can further expand upon finding a match for your Neopet and instead give you a matching trio! Not only will your Neo-bestie be super excited, but their Neopet (and Petpet) will be excited to have a new friend, too!

     4. Gallery Items: If your Neofriend is an avid collector of a certain kind of item, you can’t go wrong by gifting them some additions for their gallery. Whether they love food, plushies, space items, Valentine’s day, coffee, or a specific pet species, you’re sure to find something that your friend will be able to add to their collection, no matter what your budget is!

     5. Paint Brushes and Morphing Potions: Has your Neofriend mentioned lately that their pet is looking for a makeover? In that case, here is your chance to shine by getting them an awesome and truly memorable holiday gift. Items like paint brushes and morphing potions can sometimes be on the more expensive side, but if you want to shell out the Neopoints on a gift like this, it’s something that your friend and their pet won’t soon forget. I mean, how could they, considering it is literally changing up their Neopet’s physical appearance?

     6. Training Items: If your friend is a true Battledome brawler, then you really cannot go wrong here. Depending on the level of their pet, you will want to get your Neofriend either Dubloons (under level 40) or Codestones (tan ones if they are between level 40-249 or red ones if they are level 250 or higher) so that they can continue to build their pet’s stats up at one of Neopia’s fine training academies. If you don’t mind spending a little Neocash, Faerie Quest Cookies are often a Battledome aficionado’s dream! The faeries will often grant wonderful stat increases and can be used to obtain one quest daily for nine days straight before expiring, which is a wonderful training opportunity!

     7. Furniture for their Neohome: Help your Neofriend make their space cosier for the holidays! Perhaps some nice festive décor such as a Christmas tree or lawn decorations will brighten their day! Or maybe a nice new fireplace or comfy couch? If they are the gardening type, then some beautiful items to plant in their yard this spring could be a great option. Find these items and much more at shops such as the Furniture Store or the Neopian Garden Centre.

     8. Books: Is one of your Neofriend’s pets an avid reader? If that is the case, then you can never go wrong with a new book! Not to mention that book shopping can take you to some many fun places to find just the right text… venture to Faerieland to visit the Faerieland Bookshop, or take a trip to the desert and swing by Sutek’s Scrolls. If you’re feeling really adventurous, you can even blast off to Kreludor to browse the Bookstastic Books shop!

     9. Nerkmids, Neocola Tokens, and Scratchcards: These kinds of items are always fun, because you never know what the outcome might be or what you might win! Give your Neofriend a chance at discovering something exciting by gifting them with one of these items. These games of luck and chance could lead to some big wins in the form of paint brushes, morphing potions, hundreds of thousands of Neopoints… or possibly just some gross food. Either way, they’ll have fun playing!

     10. Something from the Gift Shop: Last, but not least, sometimes you just want to opt for the classic and simple route… and that’s okay, too! If that’s the case, swing by the Neopian Gift Shop, where you can find all kinds of cute and fun gift ideas that are sure to make your Neofriend get that warm fuzzy feeling inside when they open up your present. The Gift Shop offers a variety of seasonal items, wearables, and delicious treats to satisfy everyone’s tastes!

     Remember, no matter what you decide to gift your Neofriend, you will be making them happy and spreading the spirit of the season by just taking the time to pick out something special for them and showing that you care! Happy gifting!
