Didn’t receive moms knapsack?

[thegunpowderincident]

I noticed when I was TTing to cycle out villagers, that I always got the mom gift on the second day I started the game in a new month. Even if I didn’t get any other mail on the first day. Not sure why that would be the case for some and not for others, but that was how it worked for me every time.

I still haven’t received the knapsack/letter from Mom. I’ve TTed once, when I rolled back the clock 1 hour, from 5: 30 AM to 4:30 AM to make a Nook’s order from my phone. I did start my town a few days after release so maybe that affects it?

My partner also lives in my town and they received their Mom letter yesterday. Frustrating.

So, as far as I've been able to tell (As a TTer)...

Mom typically sends you a gift around the beginning of the month.
It's never been right on the 1st for me.
Sometimes I'll receive it as late as the 7th.

That’s sort of reassuring to hear, thanks. I will just keep playing then. Still, between this and the fact that I still haven’t received my golden slingshot recipe weeks after earning the achievement makes me worry about my game. I like New Horizons a lot but there are so many little signs that it wasn’t quite ready for release despite the delay.

UPDATE:

I logged onto the game for this and I received my knapsack today! Has anybody who experienced the same issue as me also received theirs?

 

[Morningowl]

This just thought and could be wrong, Perhaps I just you’ll get mom’s gift within first few days of the month. It not completely uniformed. I received mom’s gift today 2nd of may(so disappointment in “mom” she send the knapsack in pink lol)

How weird, I got mine, but there is a gift that Mom gives that is a cute dog plush or something, not got that yet, don't know when we are supposed to but there is six different kinds?

 

[Skyfall]

Still have not received anything from mom

I didn't get mine initially but time traveled backwards a couple days then stepped forward to move some buildings quickly and got the gift from mom on May 1 that time.

 

[Soigne]

yeah i still don't have mine? that's really frustrating if they only give it to SOME players on the first, then a few more on the second, then whoever else is left throughout the week lol.

I got one, but my sister didn't! We both live in the same region (and house currently) and have both been playing since launch.

Really strange, she hasn't ever time traveled or anything, idk why she didn't get one

I got moms knapsack today (3rd May).

 

[Xara]

i got the mom’s knapsack on my main character yesterday! i wonder if my secondary character will get hers today ;u;

 

[epona]

i didn't get mine until today (the 3rd)
i ordered the thank you mom mug from nook shopping yesterday, so i'm wondering if that triggers it? not sure

 

[Sara?]

guys i have a spare mums mug, if you have any other mum item and you would like to exchange let me know

Maybe? I got my mug and knapsack the same day too.

I got mine today too, but I never ordered the mug so I don't think that's the trigger

 

[raqball]

Is this the blue napsack with the lines on the back or a different one?

 

[Lady Timpani]

Yeah I don't think it is. I got mine May 1st, before I ever even ordered the mug.

I'm wondering if each save file has a specific day they receive the mom items? IIRC I got the tissues the 1st as well.

I just got mine today, May 3rd~
