The Curse of the Wishlist


We've all had it happen: You make a wish for something in FarmVille, and you go to collect the gifts your friends have sent you, only to get the 'Gift not found' error. It happens consistently when you use the wishlist (above) to make a request for badly needed parts.




Did you know that posts such as this one are also 'wishlist' posts?  Same mechanism that drives the regular wishlist also drives posts asking for bottles to feed your lamb.

How do you avoid disappointing your friends when sending an item from the wishlist?  While this doesn't work 100% of the time, your chances for a successful gift send increase exponentially when you let your farm load, completely, after sending the gift.


That's 100%.  Not halfway.  Not 'almost'.  100%.

If you click out of it before your farm loads all the way, odds are the recipient will NOT get what you wanted them to have...and subsequently they probably won't send one back.
