The Spirit of Friendship

Hey Jammers! I'm really sorry for such a late post, but I'm filling in for Snowyclaw because she's having extreme technical difficulties! D:
Anyways, today's new item, like Snowy predicted, is another returning heart item, the Heart Earmuffs, sold in Shiveer Shoppe! They come in eight heartastic colors! What do you think?
Oh, I forgot to mention, HAPPY FEBRUARY 1ST! (:
With the arrival of February, we have February's Birthstone!

The Aquamarine? Wait, what?! That's March's Birthstone…
February's Birthstone is the Amethyst...
Guess AJHQ had a little mixup! How odd! 
Well, you might as well buy one before AJHQ notices so that you can get the Aquamarine early! :P
In addition, AJHQ has posted about the arrival of the annual Friendship Festival, a time when we can all celebrate and appreciate our friendships! (Click the picture below to read the the post)
Likewise, to get in the spirit of the Friendship Festival, AJHQ has prompted Jammers with this question:
How are YOU going to get into the spirit? Maybe you can start by sending a kind Jam-a-gram to a friend like my friend RainbowCat1! Little deeds like that can make someone's day! ^.^
For help choosing a Jam-a-gram, take a look at all the new templates below, which have been newly added by AJHQ to help us all celebrate the Friendship Festival!
Sending kind Jam-a-grams or sending your friends gifts is a great way to be a good friend!

But sadly, nonmembers can't open gifts, so none of us can send our nonmember buddies gifts!
This is one of the few things about Animal Jam that really bothers me.
It's seems a little unfair to nonmembers that they can receive gifts but have to just sit there and look at them instead of being able to open and use them!

Now, as a member myself, I understand that members should get added perks since they're paying to keep AJ up and running.
But, in my opinion, opening gifts should be a feature available to all Jammers. It's really not that big of a deal, and I think it would benefit everyone. 

Maybe if we all come together and try to change this, AJHQ will listen and possibly even consider allowing all Jammers to open gifts so that we can send ALL of our friends Friendship Gifts!
Let me know what you think in the comments!

Happy Friendship Festival!
