I want to know where I can find The gift thing and how to train my "pet" in stats so I can jack up the market with my none existing skills at this game. . .

I kid about jacking up the market.

There are a few types of "Gift Things":

• There's the Free Food Center
• There's the Donation Center located in Riverside Valley
• There's the Gift Center located in the Arctic Frost. This allows you to "wrap" items to send as gifts and also check gifts you've received

To main way's to increase your pets stats are:

• The Training Center. You can only increase your pets stats by 2.5 times your pets level
• There are several items that will boost your pets stats And you'll also earn experience points as you battle that can be used to increase your pets stats.
