Expensive gifts from villagers...

My special little pluff of white squirrel fur, Marshal, happens to spot me this evening while I'm kicking up paths in town. (Too much invested in house payments and furniture to think about selling it all right now, going to landscape and try to find someone to help me.) And pings me to ask if I could find something a little less boring for his home than his green wardrobe.

Now granted, we haven't talked very much in the days past, maybe a spot here or there. I've been rather busy with the town, my three houses, all almost fully upgraded, furnishing and refurbishing for said houses, and haven't given much attention to many of the villagers. I see them, they see me, they visit Re-Tail, I visit, they buy, etc.

So getting back to the story, the first thing I decide to give Marshal is my Pave end table. The one I used to keep his picture on that I purchased, but am going to put it somewhere else. He likes the gift and takes it with gratitude, and then remembers he has to return the favor to me.

A Black Katana.

I can't place my finger on it, but my Retail senses are telling me this isn't just an average everyday item.
I go look up the price, and I'm a bit taken aback. This little number he just handed over doesn't come cheap. To think I'm worth that price to him though really happened to touch my heart.

Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. This particular squirrel of mine is infamous for always finding and rewarding or randomly sending me nice, well thought out, and meaningful presents that I actually keep. None of that, traffic cone nonsense or what have you. <3 I just wanted to share this, because it completely made my day.

I'm going to display this in my Mayor's house whether it fits her cutesy theme or not.

Have any of you ever had these sort of experiences?

(I'll still never forget the time, to this day, in ACGC when Pango offered me a whopping 49,000+ bells to purchase my Parquet Floor. My young self sat there agape for about a good ten-fifteen minutes thinking the game had dun goofed in the algorithms somehow, but heartily accepted her offer. Good times.)

The most expensive stuff I've got from a villager was a throne.. happened in my main town and second town too. (I think it was from Marshal too in my main town). It's been a while so I don't remember the details but I got it the mail for doing something for my villagers.. it's still sitting in my locker lol.

I completely freaked when Roscoe gave me a throne. Sad thing is I can't remember why he gave me such a high end item.
 
Also got a throne. Don't remember from who or what for, though.

I imagine high-end items are for when you give them rare gifts for their requests. For instance, the item OP gave Marshal is unorderable, so it counts as special. If you give a villager perfect fruit when they ask for normal fruit, or rare critters when they ask for a category of critter, then they usually have an extra grateful response, and I think they give you better items in return, usually.
 
It seems that getting a throne in New Leaf is almost the ultimate gift 🎁 - value in bells at least.

Ankha gave me her throne - what a thrill!

But trying to give her the throne back to keep her house all regal and fit for a Queen of the NiLe?

Never. She refused to place it in her house. Multiple times over a year. Never again! Lol
 
I also got a throne and a white katana. The throne seems to be quite popular, haha

Yup! I've been through this with her too! I even went as far as to buy her more thrones to try and get her to put it back. Nope. Then she just left me. The first dreamie I ever accidentally lost, I was devasted. She's too cruel.

Gaston gave me a throne once.


I have received real thrones,kings,queens,katanas and rococo furniture as gifts.Sometimes the smugs and snooties like to send my male mayors female clothing.Marshal was the biggest culprit for that.
