hrtbrk Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Popular holiday events such as the Gift of NC and Stocking Stufftacular are back! Purchase certain amounts of Neocash over the next month and get NC back! Users who participated last year also get a nice 50 NC back in return! You can also head to the NC Mall to buy your Stocking Stufftacular tickets! ~Xandria and Mouseykins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hmm, this sounds really interesting. BUT, I can't help but wonder how much neocash you'd have to buy in order to get the free neocash. It'd also be a shame if you had to buy a $25 neocash card only to be awarded 50 NC in return. Are the users from last year just now getting there free neocash? LOL. I kidd, I'm assuming it's a bonus. :P It's tempting to know what's in that 25-pack, but it's rather pricey so I'll probably hold off. If anyone decides to participate in the Gift of NC could you please let me know how it all works, because I have no idea. :tired: EDIT: I couldn't find the details anywhere on neopets but I found this on a message board from a few years back. If it's anything like this I don't think it's really worth it unless you buy a lot of NC anyways. I think only 50 NC free for 1,000 spent is not really something to get too excited about. Just my opinion though. 50NC when you spend 1,000 - 2,499 NC 125NC when you spend 2,500 - 4,999 NC 275NC when you spend 5,000 - 9,999 NC 600NC when you spend over 10,000 NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Me too! This will be my first SS! I'm all ready to hang my stockings. So excited!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataluna Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 if you do purchase a 25 pack there is luckily an easy way to hang all your stockings *if you intend to hang one every day* activate your pack, then go and hang one stocking, it will ask you if you want to apply your pack to the whole event, click yes, it then tells you: this will hang a stocking on every day for you *actually the wording is not really clear..* then click yes again. voila! all hung ready for you. the wording i think should have been a bit clearer, since it seemed to me like you were hanging all 25 on one day xD instead of hanging one to be opened each day :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Will you be able to claim items retroactively? I expect that a lot of it will be christmas themed, but there might be some good stuff in between that I could be interested it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean - Christmas themed is nice but I wouldn't be interested in buying it if it was all holiday/winter themed and no "regular" wearables.

Dec 12's stocking latest by 23:59 Dec 11 NST. The prizes for 12th will be distributed at 5 am NST. It's sort of like opening a present, not knowing what you'll get :D @Xandria, if you search around the TDN site, there is a list of prizes for each year :) I'm on my phone so I can't fish out all the links for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Ugh, that sucks. This is a gamble I will not take :( Thanks for the info, Zephyr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haliaetus Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I've always wanted to participate in this, but I could never bring myself to spend the money on it because it's never really been "in my budget". :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillytheGrundo Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 So exciting!!! I will not be participating though. When I spend NC I like to know exactly what I'm getting. Neopoints is one thing. Real money is quite another. Happy Month of Celebrating!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejokerlaughsatyou Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Agreed. It would be nice if they at least listed some sample gifts, and then we'd know whether it was a chance we'd like to take. As it is, that's too much money to blow on ambiguity.

Sakeru_Kyori Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think it's retarded they are only available for a week :/ that seems to short for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missjustina Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think its pretty cool, not sure if I'll buy it though. I want all the Key Quest tokens that have been coming out too much. /: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else hung their stockings or am I the only one who couldn't wait.. :questionmark: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 A 5 pack looks really really really tempting... But... I'm so unsure. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 *is all excited* Okay, I really hope the prizes this year are better than last years! :woot: *bounces off the walls* I love the NC Mall during the Month of Celebrating, the Gift of NC is a nice little prize. This is a gamble as you'll never know what you're going to get (the SS), but I find it hard to resist, AND if I skip it this year I'll probably regret it. Can't wait to start!

Zephyr Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Ugh, that sucks. This is a gamble I will not take :( Thanks for the info, Zephyr. No problem :)If you like a particular day's item, maybe you can trade with other users? If you're looking for the prizes from past years in Stocking Stufftackular we archive everything on the Regular NC Events page and you just need to scroll down until you find the event and date you're looking for. Oooh nifty!I usually Googled each event individually & that's how I landed on each separate year's page. Thanks, I've already bookmarked that page <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 *facepalm* I should have made it clear I was excited about the Advent Calendar thing and not the Stufftacular. Hahaha! XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyfish Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Yay~ I think I'll be getting the extra 50NC for participating last year. Probably going to take part in the Stufftacular but I'm not going out of my way to spend just to get the Gift... Love Christmas time ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
