Balloons sometimes float along in the air, but always carry a present along with them. In ''Animal Crossing'', a [[player]] would have to hope that the present got stuck in a tree, meaning that it could be shaken down, but in ''Wild World'', ''City Folk'' and ''New Leaf'', presents could be shot down with a slingshot. If shot down over water, and it lands in the water the player will show the emotion shock and will be unable to retrieve that present.

Balloons seem to float randomly over the town, but they in fact originate on the edges of the map at specific times, different for each town. The times they will appear will all end with the same minute value; for example, if players see a present float in from the edge at 5:45, they can be sure that each time it floats in will be a time ending in the minute value "4" or "5" depending on the game. Presents can then appear at times such as 7:55, 2:34, or 3:15. They will not appear at times such as 6:22 or 2:17. In {{WW}} presents only appear from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In other games they appear 24 hours a day.

These balloons have to be shot down in order to obtain the silver or golden slingshot tools, which shoot tow and three pellets respectively and differ in appearance to the store-bought varieties.

Presents are a way of sending gifts such as furniture, flowers, and fruit to other villagers and players in the Animal Crossing series. The present initially appears as a white box with a red bow around it, and can be opened in the player's inventory.

Presents appear in various different ways. Here is a list of examples -

  • Floating on a balloon - Can be shot down with a slingshot (in Doubutsu no Mori and Animal Crossing, players must wait until it rests in a tree and then shake it)
  • A gift from a villager or the player's mother - Attached to a letter.
  • A delivery task on behalf of a villager - Although intended for another resident of the town, these can be opened, and appear as a white box with green bow. In Animal Crossing, the bow is colored blue. Talking to the villager who gave the player the task may get angry knowing it has been opened.
  • Sometimes, if the player does not get the task done, the villager will ask for the present back and deliver it themselves.
  • Other times, the present will not say "For <Villager's Name>", and it will say "What was that?", in which the villager who asked the player to deliver it will forget they even asked them, and the player will not be able to deliver it.

Wrapping Paper

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the player can buy Wrapping Paper from the Nookling Stores to wrap a present. However, these wrapped items have a different appearance compared to regular presents.

Wrapped items can be given as gifts (useful for when a villager celebrates their birthday) or mailed with letters. When placed in a house, wrapped items fall on the floor instead of turning into furniture. They count towards trash when being graded by the Happy Home Academy.

Initially, Timmy and Tommy would give an explanation about how the use the Wrapping Paper every time it was bought, but in the Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo update, they give the explanation only the first time the item is purchased.
