Season's greetings! You may have seen a few pieces of our new holiday event start early over the last couple of days, but now it's here in full! Introducing TBT's Season of Giving!



TBT's Season of Giving!

Season_of_Giving_banner.png

This event is all about giving gifts to others. If you're familiar with our typical events, you know that you can earn currency in various ways in order to spend them on collectibles or other prizes. However, in this special event, the collectibles can only be gifted to your friends or other members of the community! To get started and read all about how it works, head over to the main thread of the event in its new dedicated board: Welcome to TBT's Season of Giving!



Newly Wrapped Collectibles: No Peeking!

Gifting isn't the only thing that makes these collectibles special. They're also covered in wrapping paper, which means no one knows what they'll look like until they're revealed on Christmas night!

Each of these presents will turn into a new and unique holiday collectible when the event ends.



We're Supporting These Causes!

This year, The Bell Tree will be donating to multiple charities and the amount will increase with each gift you send in the event. Read the event's thread linked above for more details. We'll post the amount pledged to these charities each day. If you'd like to help and want your amount to be included in the daily totals, forward your donation confirmation email to tbt@belltreeforums.com and we'll add it to the amount donated by the community.

The five charities we are supporting through this event are:
Save the Children - Humanitarian Aid / Children - https://www.savethechildren.org
Equal Justice Initiative - Civil Rights - https://eji.org
The Trevor Project - LGBTQ / Suicide Prevention - https://www.thetrevorproject.org
Active Minds - Mental Health - https://www.activeminds.org
RedRover - Animal Welfare - https://redrover.org




New Holiday Backdrops!

We are also now selling brand new winter and Christmas themed backdrops in the shop!

These festive backdrops appear behind your user information that's displayed with each of your posts and works in both desktop and mobile modes. Thanks to dizzy bone for designing them! Each one is temporary and costs 125 bells. They will all be removed on January 14th, no matter when they were purchased.
