What Your Neofriends Really Want For Valentine’s Day



Valentine's Day is here, and you know what that means - it's time to spoil your Neofriends! I mean, they're your Neofriends, of course, you want to get them something special. But before you start tossing heart-shaped plushies and overpriced flowers at them, let's talk about what they really want. Sure, those gifts are cute, but let's be honest, most of them wind up in a shop for resale. This year, why not go the extra mile? We're talking wishlist items, stamp album additions, or something they can actually use. Because at the end of the day, it's the thought that counts, but it's the consumable that really seals the deal! Without further ado, let's dive into five items you should avoid and five perfect picks your Neofriends will actually love! What Not To Buy Let’s start with a quick, definitive list of things you need to avoid. #1 - Flowers Okay, okay. Flowers are cute, flowers are pretty. Flowers eventually die, my friend! Flowers don’t raise your avatar count! We don’t press flowers into an album! I don’t care how cute the Among Flowers Background is or how pretty the Flowers of Inner Healing are. Eventually, these items will phase out and end up in their permanent home: the Rubbish Dump. Next! #2 - Food We have a few caveats here - some food is cool, but only the fancy stuff. We’ll get into the details in a sec (see #1 in the “What to Buy” section). But if you’re sitting there thinking, “Hm, I think I’ll grab some ransom snacks for my Neofriends, food is food, right?” THINK AGAIN! We all know everyone’s got their pets checked into the Neolodge like they’re on an all-inclusive vacation. And one poor, starving pet they left behind? That’s not neglect, that’s strategy, my friend. That pet is on a gourmet feeding mission or they’re making sure they don’t miss their daily Quest Log tasks. So unless it’s gourmet, or they have a food-themed gallery, seriously, think. Again.
