FarmVille: Brown Squirrel available as limited time free gift

It's not everyday that we see a limited time free gift being released in FarmVille that's actually worthwhile, but tonight's release of the Brown Squirrel (in my humble opinion) definitely is. These cute little critters have been made available in the game previously, starting last June as part of the Mystery Gift system, but you've never been able to purchase them outright from the store.

This necessity of luck likely means that a lot of farmers have gone without, until now. Now, all you need to do is send some of these cute little fellas to your friends as you would any other free gift, and then sit back as your friends return the favor. You'll have a whole group of fluffy squirrels in no time! Speaking of time, you can only send these Brown Squirrels to your friends for a limited time so get to it! You don't want to miss out on this great chance to add another animal (or 10) to your collection!

Did you already have Brown Squirrels on your land? What do you think of these limited time free gifts?

FarmVille Capital One Free Gift: What's inside?

If you've played FarmVille at all in the last 24 hours, you're likely aware that a Capital One cross-promotional farm has appeared in the game, giving you a chance to earn a free Capital One Goat and some "Capital One" instant grow. What you might have missed, however, is the release of a Capital One Gift on the game's free gifts page. This box can be thought of as a mystery box, as you'll never know which item you'll receive when opening one.

There are quite a few items that can be found inside each Capital One Gift, but unfortunately only a few are really "exciting." Here's a list of items that we've received from those boxes so far:

Pygmy Goat
Animal Feed
Passion Fruit Tree
Flower Sheep
Farmhand

While the Pygmy Goat and Farm Sheep are cute little animals, we've easily received an overwhelming amount of Passion Fruit Trees, and little of everything else. Whether that means those are the most common prizes, or we're just "unlucky" remains to be seen. This Capital One gift will only be available to send for the next nine days, so make sure to send some now while you still can (and ask for some in return!).

Have you received any other items from your Capital One Gifts? Let us know and we'll add them here! Sound off in the comments.
