It said they'd be in my items but they never showed up

This is the same problem for me.

Same.

do you want my melody items 😃

That's so nice of you!

anytime! Merry Christmas! There you go!

Same for me.

Likewise, it says the items should appear in my inventory, but they haven't yet.

I have the same problem.

So I'm not the only one...

Same here

And I didn't even get the last year's glitch items.

Same here. No Melody items of any kind. =[

Also did not receive mine.

Same issue- Click to the present page, then through to my inventory and no presents.

same problem for me

Me too, and We went to Melody this morning, were both in europe, we both got a book and 1000sp. Now apparently it should have been 3 items: a book a beanbag and a potion, [trying not to give the game away!]

I'm not receiving the Melody items either.

That's really weird that some people got them and other's did not...

The book, beanbag, and potion are all items that Melody has placed under your tree. The daily Melody gifts are from Melody's Cottage. To get the three special gifts, look under your tree by clicking the link in today's news post.
