How do you add a message to a gift for a friend
Not long ago, someone made a post asking for us to be able to add a message to the announcement that's sentwhen we give someone a gift. This is something I've often wished we could do.
I heard that it had recently been implemented and I've actually received a gift that included a message, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it myself. When I go to buy a gift for a friend, I don't see an option to add a message, and I don't know where else to look. Please tell me how to do this..

You can only do this if you send multiple gifts to your friends at once.

Yes, thank you Samantha, I found that out and I think it's a horrible decision..
I buy gifts for friends multiple times every day, but I can't even think of a reason or time when I would use the multiple send gifts to all/selected friends online thing.. I'm sure it's way too much trouble to bring it up in order to send a note with a gift to one or two people, since you have to take the time to remove all those you don't want to send to first.
The times I normally give gifts are 1) when I'm at a party and see friends are there, 2) when someone has sent me a special Inbox message or a gift, or 3) when I go to a friend's profile and see that there's a reason to send a gift. The multiple send gift option doesn't work for any of those times. Did anyone at CW ever stop to think that those are the most likely scenarios for people to send gifts? I guess not :-(
Very disappointed and also wondering why such a nonsensical decision was made to have the message/gift option only for the multiple gifts feature and not for single gift giving. Doesn't seem like it would make people more likely to use the multiple gift option. If we had it, it actually might encourage more single gift giving, because it's easier since you don't have to send a message along with your gift to tell the recipient something about why you're sending it.
Just my $.02 on this.. You didn't ask, but I"m giving it to you anyway.

The reason this feature was added to our games is because players requested it. What I can do is pass along your suggestion to add a message to sending one gift.

Just an update - I checked with our teams, and they are already working on the ability to add a message to sending a single gift. I don't have a date on when we'll expect this to be released, but it's definitely in the works.

Samantha It would be awesome if you can add the feature to send gifts to everyone in the same room instead of all friends online. I send hugs to a lot of people in my parties and it's taking too much time. Quite often I have issues responding to chats in the party room because sending gifts to every party attendees takes too long.

I've passed along your suggestion to our teams as well.

We can now add a message when sending a gift to one person.
Thank you LuckIs A Lady and CW!!
