New present controls incoming!

Choose who can send you gifts, pick a ready-made message, and report a present.

Presents are one of the nicest things in the hotel: a surprise for a friend, a thank-you, or a mystery gift from an event host. The next update gives you more control over the presents you receive, plus a few handy changes to how they're sent.


🎁 Choose who can send you gifts

The Who can send me gifts setting in Account Preferences, with Everyone, Friends and Nobody.

Your account preferences get a new setting, Who can send me gifts, with three choices: Everyone, Friends or Nobody. Everyone is the default, so nothing changes unless you want it to.

If you ignore a Habbo, they can't send you presents either. You can always wrap a present for yourself.


💬 Gift messages for new Habbos

Brand-new Habbos can send presents straight away, with a message picked from a list:

  • Happy birthday!
  • Welcome to the hotel!
  • Thank you!
  • Congratulations!
  • Just because.
  • Enjoy your gift!

Once an account has settled in, it can write its own messages too. Written messages use the same filter as chat and can be up to 150 characters long.


📦 Your daily present allowance

Newer accounts can send up to 10 presents a day, and anyone can send the same Habbo up to 5 presents a day. That's plenty for birthdays, events and surprises.


🚩 Report a present

Just like stickies, books and photos, presents can now be reported. Double-click a present and click the flag in the corner of its gift card to send it to our moderators.

Senders stay anonymous, so mystery gifts from event hosts stay a mystery. Reports work on unopened presents, because a present's message goes once it's opened.


✅ Clearer messages

If a present can't be sent, you'll now see why.


All of this arrives in the next update. Happy gifting!
