Free Gifts



Players are able to send free gifts, from a select group of items, to their friends. There are three groups to choose from (consumables, collection items and boosts). When you visit the page, it randomly chooses what list to show. Often, there are Limited Edition items available to send and these show regardless of what list comes up. You can only send free gifts every 24 hours.

=Other Means= Another discovered means of gifting is through the Wishlist. A player who added the Baccarat Shoe to their Wishlist (Or left a blank space on their Wishlist) gave their mafia the option of sending him/her free gifts by finding them on the My Mafia toolbar on the Mafia Wars main page. The mafia member could then click the link on the wishlist to privately send gifts. The effect is not known to work for other Daily Chance Collection pieces.
