I am not having much luck finding critters to get the pots! I'm spending a lot of gold.  I'm on day 7 and have only gotten the 1st pot. And I'm noticing there are lot of snow globes again. I'm really hoping for some of the older holiday pots like the red and white striped ones. Anyways, I'll keep trying.

It's not easy to find specific winter animals, when we don't set our gardens up for specific witer critters.

I only hunt for the pots I like, so the rest of my lights in the garland will just have to stay turned off :)

My approach is to water in friends and faves first. If I can't get my pot in the first five rounds, at ten minute intervals. I also return sprinx to my visitor gardens. All only in the ones offering my creature obvs. If they don't come up with it, I pick a wildlife page about ten pages in. Been doing this for the past five years.

I am also finding it hard to get them. I have only found 2. I visit lots of gardens. Definitely need more than the 50 free sprinkles per day to find them. I bought some extra gold to help.

I agree. I spent a couple hundred gold and never did get the queen of hearts globe. Same for the little snowman pot but at least I got one.  I have noticed a lot of gardens with the calendar who are pot hunting but otherwise not set up for Christmas. Topiaries and Alice for the most part. I am going to be choosy going forward and only hunt the pots I really want. I am ready to live with the non-lit light bulb shame. Lol “No light for you!”

Yeah it's a lot of gold and time hunting I agree, but if you do random clicks to gardens and keep clicking you find quiet gardens and don't water if they are not attracting your needed critter xx

Also, try to find a quiet garden attracting your needed critter and then stalk xx

I'm a night owl and I find hunting later in the evening works best for me. (I'm in the States) Way less traffic. Also, be very selective about the garden you are thinking about watering in. Study that garden. I ask myself the following 3 questions all time.                                                                                                                                                                       1. Are they truly set up for what I'm hunting?                                                                                                             
2. What type of food (Regular, Organic, or Super) are they using?                                                                                  3. What is the time of the last feed?                                                                                                                             
I'll  tab up to 20 gardens that aren't quite due, but will be soon and return. This isn't a game you can just "pop" into and expect everything to go all hunky dory right off the bat. Don't we all know that to be true!

You summed it up perfectly "name   Flitter"

I have a list of gardens that typically use SF and have good setups....this list is pretty inclusive for any season as the gardens change it up with each new release so I just keep the same list. I typically can find what I need going down the bookmarked list, but if not, I use the FFU sprinkle list. Hunting late evening when there is much less “traffic” as mentioned above is also very effective....
