Properties
On February 18, 2010, Chop Shop gifts became available. Each player had two distinctive items available to him/her as a free gift to others.
With the introduction of the Weapons Depot on April 8, 2010, the number of spaces for Chop Shop gifts decreased to 1 and players were able to send 1 Weapons Depot building material.
On July 1, 2010, 2 slots for Vegas Casino Items were added to the Free Gifts list. The four slots for Las Vegas, Weapons Depot, and Chop Shop items were also moved to the last row of Free Gifts.
The gifts available are chosen at random every few days, depending on the player.
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.
