Gift accessories

A gift accessory is a type of accessory that is usually given to players when they complete a specified task within a limited amount of time, such as accumulating over 1,000 place visits. These tasks are not disclosed to the players, which often leads to players creating theories about how certain gift hats are earned. After a certain amount of time, players who have not earned the gift hat can purchase it for a specified amount of Robux. Once the sale period ends, the gift hat will open. Any player who owns the gift hat at the time it opens will receive a specified prize. Typically, gift hats that are more difficult to obtain will be priced higher and will release a more desirable gift, such as a Dominus. The years 2007, 2009, 2010, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 are the only years to not have gifts in October. It is assumed that gifts are officially discontinued. However, Metaverse Champions has revived this concept in the form of crates. The crates get replaced with items.
