🎁 How does gifting work?
Many of the items available on The Hive Store can be gifted to other players.
To gift any item except costumes, you will need to purchase Gift Tokens.
To gift a costume, you will need to purchase a costume gift.
🪙 What are Gift Tokens?
Gift Tokens are an in-game currency that is used to purchase gifts.
You can purchase Gift Tokens from the gift menu, accessed by typing /gift or interacting with one of the red gift mailboxes in the hub. Once in the menu, click 'Buy Gifts'.
Gift Tokens are for sale in two quantities: a single token, or ten (10) tokens. The price of the 10-token bundle is cheaper than buying 10 tokens individually.
The number of Gift Tokens required to gift a particular item is determined by its price in Minecoins.
Due to Marketplace restrictions, there is no perfect correlation between the Minecoin and Gift Token prices; certain items are slightly cheaper than the Minecoin price, and others are slightly more expensive. However, if you make use of the Gift Token discount bundle, the difference will always be in your favor.
🤔 How do I gift an item?
Once you have purchased Gift Tokens, you can select which gift you wish to send with the gift menu, which can be accessed by typing /gift or interacting with one of the red gift mailboxes in the hub.
When you have selected the gift you want to redeem, you can then select who you want to give it to with the following options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Gift to a Friend | Allows you to send the gift to someone on your friend list. |
| Gift to a Username | Allows you to type in the username of the player you'd like to send your gift to; make sure you type their username correctly! |
| Place gift in the Hub | The gift will be placed where you are standing, in the hub. If you choose this option, you will NOT be able to redeem the gift yourself. The gift will be placed in all hubs on your region and it could be redeemed by somebody who's in another hub. |
| Gift to Self | Allows you to redeem gift yourself. |
