How Do I Get the Presents in Animal Crossing?
To snag those floating presents in Animal Crossing, all you need is a trusty slingshot. Just wait for a balloon carrying a present to float by overhead, aim your slingshot, and fire! If your aim is true, you'll shoot down the gift and claim your prize. Keep an ear out for the whooshing sound of the balloons, and keep your eyes on the skies!

Just run around with your slingshot all day, every day. Sooner or later, you'll have more presents than you know what to do with. Easy.
If you're running around without a slingshot and see a balloon gift teasing you from above, don't fret! You can actually hit the present down when it floats over the beach where the land meets the sand. If you time it right, a vaulting pole or a well-placed shovel swing can knock those gifts right out of the sky. It's tricky, but super satisfying when you pull it off.
Nah, slingshots are overrated. I once knocked a present down by sheer luck when it got stuck on a piece of furniture outside. Talk about a happy accident!
