How do you buy gifts for yourself???

I thought there was a button which said 'Shop' but I can't find it

Go to the VbPlaza menu and go to Give Gifts - Then in the username just put yourself and pick a gift and then that gift will go to you!

I wanted to buy something so I brought a frog cause their so cute


There was one out in my garden a few years ago and I put it in a bowl of water out in the garden and it stayed in there. I used to pick it up too
Even though your not suppose to pick frogs up. lol
I was really young so I wasn't to know.

I just tried that and it said I did not have enough points to buy anything. Since you were so nice and answered the previous question perhaps you can tell me where there is a list of what is available to be bought and how much it would cost had I enough points? Actually, for some reason I cannot find a centralized posting explaining this whole process.
Am I the only one?

You can not buy anything despite having enough points because all your money is in the bank rather than in your pocket (the TCS shop is not with the times and doesn't take debit/credit cards).

You need 212 points, I think, (it is 200 plus tax) to buy gifts and I think ribbons are slightly different (1-2 points more).

You have to go to your bank and 'withdraw' enough points for a gift and then you can go buy the gift.

Wah I'm trying to buy a gift and it wont even let me go to the gifts page, it just says 'the item you are trying to buy is out of stock'. Are the gifts all gone?

Probably so. There's a limited stock but I think it gets replenished several times a day.
