What's the best gift bag you have gotten?

Just curious... I have gotten a rose (180 dollars), 250 dollars, and 500 Wildflowers (500 dollars) - all from the Flower farm. The best I've seen in the gourmet farm is 1 Sugar Beet (110 dollars). I honestly don't remember the best from the regular farm, but it wasn't much.

Is there anything better than these?

    I haven't yet bought either the gourmet farm or the flower farm, but I have gotten 5 apples ($220) and 20 milk ($500) several times on the regular farm. I once got 20 apples ($880), too. And of course the value of dung and leaves is incalculable, but pleasant, especially when it means you can start the silo or composter ahead of expectation. :)

    I see wild flowers, corn, cabbage, and dollars so often and in such varying amounts that I seldom notice how many anymore; the highest count I recall from when I still paid attention was 100 for the various produce and 250 dollars. I've never seen more than 5 wheat or cherries at a time, though; those seldom come more than one at a time. I've never gotten a rose, either.

    I admit that I have sometimes wondered whether the farm's happiness is calculated in whatever algorithm chooses the gifts our workers carry.

    I've got 5 goat cheese once ($900), don't really remember anything else significant.

    If I have a really good streak going, I tend to stay on my flower farm since the prizes are usually better there.

    i got the max

    5 sugar beat, that after 10 in a row. Before that its only 1.
    20 tomatoes, 20 milk, 5 apples, 5 wheat.

    To get max from the gift bag you need to collect more than 5 times in a row.

    I also got 20 dung in gourmet farm and 5 fallen leaves from the bag.

    If you stay in higher farm you get better from each bag.

    Wow, I never get multiples in my gourmet farm... I wonder if there is some other factor

    I wrote this up before realizing I had misread and misunderstood Dana67's last post in this thread, but since I spent so much time writing it up, I'm posting it anyway in case anyone's interested, or in case it answers anyone's un-asked questions.

    You don't get multiples if you don't manage to pick them off in a row without missing any. Since the gifts show up every 15-20 seconds, it takes a lot of attention to catch them continuously for any length of time. Since I actually run my farms shrunk down on the side while I'm reading news and social networks in another browser window, I seldom manage to keep my attention on them long enough to catch more than 10 or so in a row — especially since sometimes the workers go underneath the menu where I can't see or catch them — although I once managed got 170-odd in a row by doing nothing else at the time, and watching like a hawk.

    Here's what I've observed on my farm (your mileage may vary; if anyone has had a different experience, I'd like to hear details):
    The more of them in a row you get, the higher your chance of catching a big gift. You only get 1 item for the first catch. When you catch the second in a row, for low-value items (dollars, flowers, corn, cabbage, eggs, pigs), you will get 2 items; the third in a row will get you 3 items, up through five in a row. After that, the gifts level out at 5 items, with random lucky catches of 10, 20, or more. For high value items (wheat, cherries, leaves) you will still only get 1 most of the time, but sometimes (infrequently) 5 items after you've caught several in a row. I once got 20 leaves, but I've never gotten more than 5 wheat or cherries. For milk and dung, sometimes the number of items you get in the first five catches works like the low-value items, and sometimes you get just 1 item; after that, as far as I can tell, you're just as likely to get the random 10 or 20 or whatever. For apples, it works like the high-value items, except that you are more likely to get 5 of them after you've caught several, and sometimes you do score 10 or 20.

    Also, as I posted earlier, I suspect that the farm's happiness makes a difference in how often and how many you get with multiples. I used to get fewer of those when my happiness was in the 70-ish range than I do now that my happiness is above 90. Or, it may simply be that GG has changed the algorithms since the beginning.

    I've never noticed that you get increased rewards for consequtive items - I'll try to watch more closely in future. I have had a 5 leaf gift non-consequtive. I only normally get up to around 25, the max I've done for a stunt is 210 - I could have done more but stopped.

    Dunno if I misunderstood - in the above post I'd taken as read that you need to hit gift bags consequtively to get greater rewards and I assumed it meant consequtive rewards of the same reward type, eg leaves, leaves, leaves, leaves.

    Anyhoos I was stunned to get a rose ($180) for the first time earlier, from the flower farm within the first 5 consequtive gifts. I've been popping the gift bags since they started and generally hit them in addition to whatever else I happen to be doing in the game, tho occasionally, if I'm just short of some leaves or dung to start a production run, I concentrate on building up a consequtive run.

    Before I got a field on the gourmet farm, I noted the frequency of the food gifts -

    I have been lucky enough to get 3 roses from the flower farm. Not at the same time. I was in my flowerfarm just playing around with the decos and collecting from the bags, first was wildflower, then money then rose then money then wildflowers then rose then wildflowers and more wildflowers and then a rose. So a total of 3 roses in a very short amount of time.

    Just got two more roses in a single run, at 17 and 83 in - was swapping around the farms to see what the best offer was, but other then these, the only notable gifts where the not uncommon dung (20), goats milk & cherries. So perhaps roses are not uncommon on the flower farm because they're the only major gift available, as I haven't received anything else other than dollars and flowers.

    I do not sell the roses either - the rarer the item, I feel, the more likely it is to appear one day in one of the quests. Converting them to dollars, by selling them, loses that scarcity value.

    You're either very lucky ss0209, or the IN & WWW servers have a different payout ratio ! ;)

    G'night... perhaps speak tomorrow on a new Asian event thread :)

    I got my very first 250 of anything yesterday - $250, 12th bag. I also got 5 almonds from the 39th bag. I haven't been bursting the gift bags very much over the past few days, and I think it recognises this and tries to give better rewards. To update my earlier post, I am getting a rose at about the same frequency as almonds.
