ok i have a idea for a good xmass event item..
ok also of people give "ingame xmas presents" to others they are frends with..
agood idea is if there is a Crafter to craft a "Empty christmas Present" so you can put ANY ite inside it to make it a "Surprise Christmas Present" or somthing with a simalar name.
Some people might think this is a sill idea but i think its quite a good idea.
and when you give this Surprise XmasPresent to someone, the need to double click it to getthe item hidden inside it.
What do you all think?
Empty Christmas Present

Well, they are already trying to copy WoW enough as it is so I don't see a problem with them copying another feature.

I think that this would be a neat idea to impliment into the game, but make selling the items against the rules.

That would be really fun I think

Though Zesbeer is right, it would add a lot of potential for scammers.

Yes looks fun, but one thing could be nice to avoid some scammers.
item only remains hidden if given away for free.....

Maybe to avoid scammers, it could say Player Gift instead of Wintersday Present and have different colors. Or something that makes it obvious that it's not a Wintersday present, boardwalk prize, or birthday gift.

ok let me add some things.
1: Item NOT allowed to be sold at all. (Only to be given for free)
2: The item would not be called wintersday present it woul becalled somthing like "Surprise Chrismass Present" or "Friends Chrismass Gift" so its not confusing towards a Wintersday Present.
Scammers wouldnt be able to use this to scam with if theres a "Empty Xmas Present Crafter"
just add it to announcements on the GW Log In Page about a "New Crafter" for the special wintersday event.
also
To be able to craft this Empy Present it should cost somthing like 25 Glitter Dust and 200g or soomthing else cheap..
This was a fast idea i had.. and i dont know about WoW i never played i and i never even looked at it.
so i dont know what features they got..
but anyway were not talking about Wow this is GW ere talking about
I hope this would be implated into GW for the event.. id would make it more interesting..
now lets tak aboutthe idea more xD

I like the idea, could be fun sitting in a guild hall exchanging them, if not just for the "spirit of christmas"
arcanemacabre
I like it! I want to add one more thing, just to make it that much more fun - allow this player gift to be able to be dropped in town and picked up by anyone. It would be so fun to watch some wild gift-giver run through a town dropping gifts, followed by a conga-line of greedy bastards! 
And yeah, craftable for a cost and materials so that it's not overdone by players.

Could you make them work like party crackers so 2 players must cooperate to pull the cracker with the prize going to one player 50/50 chance which one.
This could add to the lucky/unlucky title if they wished it to.

Even if ANet wanted to they couldn't implement it by Christmas

now to the OP. it would be nice to have that, but it would not happen in GW1. its too late for them to implement anything new.

Do this, but dont allow people to exchange gold for them so no one gets scammed! Concidering its meant as a "gift" and "free" anyway!

Idea is nice, but it is also ripe for exploits and scams.

Good idea. So you can wrap it up in the Chrismast Present for your friend? Good idea. Someone has said this might make ppl scam. I really dont think so. How can you scam people by that? If you can give me a reason I will give you 100k. Considering the present have unique skin compare to other items.

this can not be used as an exploit to a scam because everone has commen sense... i hope o_O
This idea could do with a few minor adjustments though probaly.. but it could work..
and people who keep saying it could be exploited by a scam.. give me a good reason why this is a bad idea.. as its a "Free Christmas Gift" or w/e the name could be called.. also with he text under it "Free gift for a friend ingame for good xmas spirit, Double Click to open" somthing lke that.

//after clicking trade check the following
if (item = xmas pressy) and (gold > 0)
dont allow trade and display a warning
else if (item = xmas pressy) and (gold = 0)
do allow trade and enjoy
end if
...Wow that was hard!!!

If people insist on being stupid we could always have a dedicated pet style warning

this would be a brilliant move for anet if they do this.

Anyways, not a bad idea, if ANet would be able to add it into the game.

Or they could make so that we can drop these presents with whatever you put in it in towns and outposts, that way you don't actually have to trade with people, making it more fun and easiler.

I don't think there should be a trade rule though. Giving them away for free. Honestly, people who don't look at the name of the time, which obviously wouldn't be "Wintersday Gift" or would actually be dull enough to fall for it deserve every empty box coming to them.

Yet you're the only one who's compared it? I really don't see why anyone would compare this, it's a christmas gift.

I like the idea but the gift needs to show if an item has been added like this.
Would save an empty gift box scammer or needs to be worth 0g or unsalable
as it was ment as a Gift anyway.

let me make it more clear for you
the name of the present chages when a item is put insde it.
Empty Chistmas Present = No Item Inside
Christmas Present = Item Inside
Also
If someone does try to sell this item with any kind of item inside.. it would take a compleat fool for someone to buy the item.. as its a "Free Gift" to people and can be stated in "Announcements" in the ingae log in page "if" this idea was put into the game this or next xmas.
oh and also to add.. When the christmas present has been opened the item comes out of the box and the box gets destroyed so it cant be used again.
Roo Ella
I get it now didn't notice the name change plus shouldn't read posts when tired 
It's still a good idea if it's implemented.
Just a concern here but what if someone was buying gold like 500k from a gold selling site
would this be a way to go undetected with the transfer instead of a straight out money transfer and
just drop 100k in each of the 5 Christmas Presents.
Perhaps make it so Gold can't be placed in the present.

why restrain this only to wintersday events? A "gift box" feature would be nice, period.
when crafting, it would take on the name of the crafter :
"Gift from X"
that way you could never mistake it for an "official" GW gift
