Farmville Valentine Boxes: How They Work and What You Get

Farmville Valentine boxes were added to the hit Facebook application early this morning, proving once again that game maker Zynga loves to celebrate! So how can you get your own Farmville Valentine box, what can you collect and how does the whole thing work? Read on for the details.

Farmville Valentine Box: What is it?

When you log into your Farmville farm, a pop-up box will alert you to the introduction of Farmville Valentine boxes. The note will direct you to check your gift box. When you do, you'll find a Farmville Valentine mailbox. To add it to your farm, click the Use button, and place it as you would any other kind of gift.

How do Farmville Valentine boxes work?

The aim of the Farmville Valentine box is to collect a many gifts as you can from your neighbors. There are five free gifts available from the gifting menu, including a red heart box wrapped with a golden ribbon, a vase of purple flowers, a light blue teddy bear, a set of three letters, and a round blue present. Users can request Farmville Valentines from friends. To to so, mouse over your Valentine box and select the 'Look Inside' option. Then, click the 'Ask for Love' button in the upper left hand corner of the dialog box, and select the neighbors from whom you'd like to request Valentines.

When you answer a friend's Farmville Valentine request, you'll be rewarded, too. Here's a list of the gifts available to send and each gift's corresponding reward:

Pink Polka Dot Box: 1/5 Fuel Refill
Purple Flowers: Mystery Gift
Heart Box: 20 XP
Flat Pink Box: 1,000 Coins
Pink Bear: Pink Cow

Note that the pink cow is the same pink cow that's been available for months, and NOT the new white with pink spots version that appears on the screen when your game is loading.
