In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you will have the opportunity to obtain many gifts containing cosmetics, plans to build different objects or resources such as gold nuggets. Sometimes these gifts will be sent to you by mail, but most of the time you can get them via the gifts hanging from balloons, which wander around your island quite regularly.

How to get flying balloon gifts in Animal Crossing New Horizons?

You will notice from the start that your net will be useless to catch these gifts, given the height. To be able to recover the gift, you will have to burst the balloon. And for that, nothing could be simpler: from the second day, you will get the slingshot blueprint. If you don't have the necessary resources, don't worry, Méli will sell you some for 900 bells.

Once this slingshot is in your hands, all you have to do is find these famous flying gifts. For this, you will have several ways to flush them out: either by visualizing the shadow of the gift on the ground or by hearing the sound of the wind on the balloon, which will indicate to you the very close presence of a gift. Once the gift is found, get under the ball and shoot your slingshot to pop the balloon to pick it up.
