  Sorry for being daft here but what do people mean by "gift apparel"?  It's not like I could say "I need lots of go further hats" and someone could buy them for me, unless they happened to be one of the three things seen and sold in the apparel store at that particular time that is. 

  Gifting unwanted apparel would be great but isn't going to happen.

  I can see a couple beneficial scenarios:

  1. A tournament or club contest where the prize is a particular apparel item (eg. Santa Hoodie) or X number of credits worth of apparel
  2. A friend says "Hey, I really like that <shirt, skirt, shoes, whatever>" and you gift it to them to celebrate a HIO, great round, birthday, CC anniversary, etc.

  Apparel items (actually Flash avatars) used to be giftable in the Pro Shop.  No reason why WGT can't make them giftable again.  I have a feeling they might be looking into doing that.

  They are talking about being able to gift outfits not abilities. Like

  Apologies I thought this was to be like the secret santa's where you and others helped people with better equipment, and I'm not looking to argue against this, If people want stuff that they think makes an avatar "look good" and you want to buy them it then that's obviously up to the folk involved.

  As a workaround why not 1. make the tournament for credits and not only could those that won them buy apparel, if they wanted to, but they would also have other options.  2. Gift them something like balls and they could spend the saved money on a pretty shirt, trousers, shoes or whatever (or not).

  As a workaround why not...

  As someone who has gifted hundreds of $$$ worth of stuff this year alone, I would love the ability to gift (non ability) apparel. Your suggestions are nice, and we all know those things can be done, but it isn't the same as gifting what you want to give.

  Just this morning I was playing a newbie in a coin room that commented on my Santa hoodie. Had I been able to do so, he would have had one waiting for him at the end of the round.

  Gifting apparel is something most know I have been begging for for a long time.

  Is there a way to gift apparel? If not, this would be a fun feature to add to the game. Last month and again now, there is holiday apparel available. It would be fun to be able to offer this as a prize in country club competitions. It would be a unique prize that players might not get for themselves otherwise.

  I know some may think what a waste. 😂 I just think it would add a little fun.

  Exactly….not gifting anything with bonuses attached, but some stuff that used to be part of avatar outfits…..or the new LPGA or Santa Hoodie.  Or yes, maybe the Turkey Hat or an ugly sweater.

  Hey Champ,

   

  Sorry if I missed the boat yesterday on your wish thread. I have spent the last year and a half giving away thousands of credits worth of stuff to help others. Probably close to 100k. All I was looking for was the skeleton pants. I would even buy them. I won the shirt from one of your giveaway's before. I just need the pants. Can you help a brother out?

  You and me both (plus the shirt).  I believe Champ said all out of Skeletal stuff...hopefully come back next year.

  I heard he will get the Christmas wish thread going again when he gets back in the office on Monday. I'll try then!
