A player finds a Note-in-a-bottle in New Horizons.

A Note-in-a-bottle will sometimes wash up on the beach. They are glass bottles which contain a letter and may sometimes contain a present.

They were originally introduced in Animal Crossing: Wild World but have since appeared in Animal Crossing: City Folk and in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, though under the name Message bottle.


In Wild World

Note-in-a-bottle may be found in Animal Crossing: Wild World, but can be obtained in Animal Crossing: City Folk if a player moved from their Wild World town and had one in their catalog. They will all say something different. The player can also buy bottles in Tom Nook's store for 200 bells each and, unlike most items, the store will have unlimited stock. If the player writes something inside a bottle and releases it and a friend has done the same, when the two connect through Contact Mode/Tag Mode, they will each find their friend's Note-in-a-bottle washed up on their beach. They can be saved in the Town Hall like letters. Presents can also be sent along with the notes, but it is unknown if they reach the other end. The player may also find various random notes in a bottle on the beach with a random message enclosed.

Mail differs depending on whether it is from a real person or Nintendo, as a note from a real player will always start with "Dear Some Stranger," unlike a Nintendo note-in-a-bottle.

In New Horizons

In New Horizons, the Message bottle item fulfills a similar function as Note-in-a-bottle in previous games. They now contain DIY recipes. During special events, themed message bottles may be found on the beach. Similarly, they contain a themed note and DIY recipe.
