In the popular gift shop, weblin users can obtain a 12-piece Christmas gift set and give their friends a pleasant virtual Christmas. Anyone wishing to give an avatar an appropriate festive appearance can now move through the internet as Santa Claus, a snowman, an angel, a reindeer or a chimney sweep. Christmas gifts can also unlock four additional special avatars. Observant users may discover a goblin presenting a new quiz while browsing the web.
Successful weblins receive an immediate reward from the amusing character. Users may also encounter Knecht Ruprecht, who packs gifts withheld from naughty children into a treasure chest and places it on various websites. A fast and fortunate finder can therefore obtain many more gifts. For special Christmas decoration, users can equip their avatar with either an attractive Christmas tree or an ice blossom.
