Wrapping up your gifts inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis a cute and fun way to show your friends you really care about surprising them, and it’s well worth taking the time - and Bells - to do it.New Horizonslets players send gifts to each other either through the mail, or through meeting together via online play. Adding wrapping paper to your presentsdoesn’t really change anything gameplay-wise, but it does help with roleplay, and can be used to add a little excitement to minigames or just gifting in general.
If you have friends over to play someAnimal Crossingminigames, having wrapped presents as prizes adds a little mystery and excitement. Or, for the festive season, you could even send wrapped gifts in the mail each day of December to create a mailed advent calendar. For those who’ve ever used Nookazon,you might have also seen wrapped presents as mystery bags, where players don’t know what they’ve purchased from the seller until they’ve opened each one.
