I can't send you items, but here are a TON of tips that will help you become 'good' at Millsberry.
I'll start with my best game tips:
***Game(Points required for Trophy)[Category]
*GDA (500)[Civics] - try to trap the ball between your paddle and the planet so it ricochets back and forth. You can get a lot of points that way.
*Match Wanted (940)[Civics] - make large combinations. They are worth more points.
*Peabody Park Cleanup (2519)[Civics] - Run in straight lines around the edge of the board and then make one large X from the lower right to the upper left and from the lower left to the upper right. You can pick up most of the pieces that way.
*Peabody Park Half Pipe (4651)[Athletics] - ride back and forth until you are flying high and then do combination tricks like a backflip with a double kickflip.
*Sherman Homerun Derby (10000)[Athletics] - be patient and try to not move around in the batter's box too much.
*Hide & Seek (500)[Intelligence] - Try to learn the names of the characters that are shown in the game and work in groups of 4. If your fist 4 are Lucky, Rabbit, Mrs. Seashore and Coach Danner keep repeating those names in order in your mind as you uncover the next tiles. When you find a match for one of those 4 (let's say Mrs. Seashore) go back to the start and add another one to the list of 4 so now you're looking for Lucky, Rabbit, Coach Danner and Rosie Ruiz. Concentrate on those 4 until you match one...etc.
*Countdown (3126)[Intelligence]- as you get to more complex equations do the math based on the last 2 digits for example) 29+44 just add the 9 adn the 4 and then look for an answer that ends in a 3. There will likely be only one answer that ends in that digit.
*Lucky's Charmed Life (1250)[Intelligence]- try to run as fast as possible. You are faster than the kids and in most cases you can avoid them. Always collect ALL the bonus charms on every level for maximum points.
*Rope Race (785)[Athletics] - Use F11 to expand the window to Full Screen so you do not click off it and play on a large surface so you have lots of room to use your mouse.
*Wave Blaster (1201)[No category, prize of a Sylvie Sofa] - use the 'double' shooter to make maximum hits with a minimum of wasted shots. Shoot only when you need to shoot because wasted shots cost you points.
*Hop & Drop (450)[Athletics] - play on the hard level and keep practicing until you have memorized the proper routes for each level.
*Peanut Butter Toast Crunch Swirl (591)[No stats category, prize of Cereal (in addition to trophy)] - The game is entirely random. You can try dropping each piece from the same location but there is no guarantee that it will fall in the same location every time.
*Slap Shot Shootout (1800)[Athletics] - Choose better shooter and stay in one location shooting repeatedly at the same spot on the goal. I prefer shooting at the left side of the goal. Shoot repeatedly, do not stop for anything.
*Lucky Charms Sudoku (1000)[Intelligence] - Play the game repeately to get familar with the structure and stragegy. DO NOT use hints as they reduce your score.
*Peabody Park Fishing (No score given)[No category, prize of fish or other items pulled from the pond] - there is no trophy for this game. You can get fish (to eat), diamond necklaces, divers helmets, old teddy bears, and soggy boots from the pond.
*Snowboard Slalom (1500)[Athletics] - you need to have 100% health stats and 100% athletics stats to unlock Kelly (third character in the game). Once you have kelly do a double backflip for 160 points. That will help you get a score high enough for the trophy. NOTE: Controlling Kelly is difficult and does require some practice.
*Solver (443)[Intelligence] - Play often and you will see familiar patterns and sets of letters. The more you memorize the high your score can go.
*Sink the 3 (1586)[Athletics] - Play on a slow computer using Opera or Mozilla Firefox and play on the largest size possible to have your window at maximum size and make the green bar more visible.
*Archtery (No trophy)[Athletics] - Try to shoot balloons at higher heights because you earn more points.
***Here is a link to some secret/hidden things on Millsberry:
http://pic2.piczo.com/millsberrycitizens...
***And here are my best health and money making tips
Health:
To raise your health you have to feed your person a healthy diet consisting of all 5 food groups every day. The 5 groups on Mills are protein, grain, dairy, vegetable and fruit.
I use two different diets to keep up my health and my health on all my accounts is at 100%.
Diet #1:
If your hunger level is grumbly or 'lower' eat the following:
1. Fruit Salad
2. Green Salad
3. Cheeseburger
If you are still not 'completely full' after eating those three items try adding another salad or fruit salad.
Diet #2:
If your hunger level is comfortably full or higher.
1. Lasagna (found on page 2 of the deli section of the grocery store)
2. Fruit Salad
Then if I'm still not "completely full" I supplement with the cereal from Chip's Grabbing machine.
You can also groom to raise your health 1 point per day. Put one of the toiletry items in your house (i.e. a hairbrush) and click on it. On the menu that pops up in the lower left hand corner you will see a 'groom' option. Click that and it will pop up a window that says grooming contributes to good health and it will raise your health 1 point. It can be done only once per day.
If you eat this diet every day you should see your health rise. It will rise more quickly if it is low (in the 20s for example) than it does when it is high (in the 80s for example) but it will eventually reach 100%.
I've done some testing on the idea that drinking water or changing your clothing raises your health level, but I've found that it has no impact whatsoever.
***Money Making
Playing games is by far the best way to make money in Millsberry but there are also some other things you can do to make extra millsbucks.
First, always check out the coach danner link on the millsberry main page (make sure you are logged in when you do it). It will link you to another millsberry recommended site like kidkinetic.com and will give you MB just for visiting the site. The current link is not working but if you wait until Thursday it usually changes. Often it's 1000 MB just for visiting the linked site.
If you don't have one already make sure you open a bank account. Put as much money as possible into your account. You will earn interest on your money every day. As you collect the interest your bank account balance will grow and as you deposit more money you get more interest.
Yard Sale, Yard Sale, Yard Sale. If you shop at yard sales yourself buy all the bargains that you see (for example if you find someone selling leaf layered skirt for 10 MB buy it!). Then re-sell your bargains for slightly higher prices (like selling your 10 MB skirt for 15). You should be able to sell things fairly quickly if you keep your prices low and even if you're not making huge profits on each item doing a lot of volume sales can get you lots of money quickly. Trophies are another great thing to sell in Yard Sales.
***Finally, here are the locations for the hidden art class canvases:
There are 9 hidden pictures on Millsberry. You need 100% intelligence to unlock some of them so it's best to make sure your intelligence is at 100% before you go searching for the canvases. If you have that this is where they can be located:
1. The shoreline in lakeview. Go to "The City" then click on lakeview, and then click on the lakeshore
2. The Westridge Crater. Again, click on "The City" then click on Westridge, click on the overhead shot of the crater, and click the crater itself.
3. Red Lion Manor. Click on "The City" then click on Ravenwood and click on Red Lion manner. Wait about 60 seconds and you will see a leaf falling across the screen. Click on the leaf and that will unlock a canvas.
4. In front of the community center the bunch of sunflowers closest to the left hand side of the sidewalk.
5. In the cafeteria there is a young man at the back by the windows. Click him and he will unlock a canvas.
6. In the chemistry lab click on the right of the two beakers on the table.
7. In your basement. Click on "My Stuff" then click on Basement. In the picture of the basement that is displayed click on the teddy bear.
8. Sylvie has a canvas. This one can only be received when she is giving out Sylvie Plushies as the day's prize and 100% intelligence is required. Visit Sylvane Lake while Sylvie is out and click on her and you will not only get the plushie but you also get the canvas.
9. There is a canvas hidden in the colehurst tunnels that can be dug up. I personally have not gotten this one because I don't want my health to drop. From what I've heard this is rather random in who gets this canvas. It's received when you dig up the colehurst portrait but I know people who have gone digging numerous times and have not gotten it.
To achieve the different belt levels on millsberry requires both playing the karate game and completion of a series of tasks as well as maintaining your health, athletics, intelligence and civics statistics.
Starting with the game, each belt requires a greater number of plays and an increasing number of hits/blocks in a faster and faster time. The hits/blocks information is as follows:
White going for yellow - 10 hits
Yellow going for orange - 19 hits
Orange going for green - 27 hits
Green going for blue - 34 hits
Blue going for brown - 40 hits
Brown going for black - 45 hits
The health and other statistics information is as follows:
No belt, going for White: 16% and over
White belt, going for Yellow: 28% and over
Yellow belt, going for Orange: 43% and over
Orange belt, going for Green: 56% and over
Green belt, going for Blue: 70% and over
Blue belt, going for Brown: 84% and over
Brown belt, going for Black: 98% and over
Finally, the % 'credit' you get for your classes decreases as your belt levels increase. For example when you are playing at the yellow belt going for orange level you get 16% or 17% per game that you play but when you are at the brown belt gonig for black level you get 1% or 2% per game that you play.
Finally, you must complete a task for each belt level.
White Belt - Purchase a Gi at the Toy Store
Yellow Belt - Send a "Thank You" card to robertjwilliams (the original discoverer of Sylvie)
Orange Belt - Capture a picture of Sylvie
Green Belt - Find the Sensei's cousin Patricks watch in the Colehurst Tunnels

Brown Belt - Fish in the Peabody Park Pond and find the wallet, ring and camera that were lost by the Sensei's cousin patrick

Here are some instructions on completing the tasks:
***
White Belt - simply purchase the Gi at the toy store. It can be found on page 6

Orange Belt - Capture a picture of Sylvie in Sylvane Lake
To take a picture of Sylvie there are two things you must do.
1. You must get a camera from the Home Electronics Superstore (or from a YardSale) and leave it in your queue. DO NOT put it in your house or it will not take the picture for you. You can buy either the digital camera or the Point and Shoot camera.
2. You must visit Sylvane Lake while Sylvie is out. This link will take you to the lake: http://www.millsberry.com/sylvane_lake/i...
To find Sylvie when she is out....
Sylvie is out 3 times per day. She appears the first time between 7:00am and 12:00pm EST and is out for 1 hour. It's always from the top of the hour to the bottom of the hour (8:00 to 9:00, for example) as opposed to random times (like 8:17 to 9:17).
She makes her second appearance 5 hours after the initial appearance. So if she's out at 10:00am she will be out again at 3:00pm
The third appearance doesn't seem to have any time pattern but it's always in the evenings. She is out for 1 hour each evening but you can't be sure of the time.
The best advice I can give you is to visit Sylvane Lake whenever you are on Millsberry. That will give you the best chance of finding Sylvie. And when you do spot her be sure to click on her because she will give you a gift. Sometimes it's something yucky like a seaweed covered hat but sometimes it's cool like Sylvie Plushie or a Sylve Beach Ball.

Green Belt - Find the Sensei's cousin's watch in the colehurst tunnels
The watch is in the colehurst tunnels. There are three hidden tunnel chambers that could contain the watch. They can be accessed by following these directions:
#1. Enter the tunnels, make a right turn and go to the dead end. There is a rock on the wall that is clickable. Click that rock and it will take you into the 1st hidden chamber.
#2. Upon entering the tunnels go straight ahead and keep going until you reach a place where you have to turn either left or right. There will be a small rock on the wall that is clickable. That will let you into the 2nd hidden chamber.
#3. Follow the directions to chamber #2 but turn left when you reach the left or right choice. Go straight until you reach a point where you must turn right. Turn right and the wall in front of you will again have a clickable rock. Click that rock and it will let you into the 3rd chamber.
NOTE: The watch is not buried. It will be just lying on the floor of one of the hidden chambers.

Blue Belt
Take a quiz about past events in Millsberry. The quiz consists of 20 questions and can be quite challenging, but all the answers you need can be found in past issues of the Gazette. To view past issues click the link for downtown, click on the Town hall, Historical Society and headline news (or just use this link http://www.millsberry.com/town_hall/hist... ). Once you manage to get 100% on the test your task will be complete.

Brown Belt - Fish in Peabody Park pond to find the Sensei's cousin's lost ring, wallet and Camera
This is one of the easier tasks, but it can sometimes take a bit of time.
Click on the link for downtown a
Click on Peabody Park.
Click on the sign that says fishing season is now open and that will take you to the fishing area of the pond.
Click the link for Bobby's bait shack to purchase the bait you need for the task.
If you don't already have a fishing pole I recommend purchasing the red fishing pole but that's just personal preference.
Purchase your bait - I purchase 3 of each type of bait they have in the bait shack.
Return to the pond and start fishing. There are three locations in which you can fish and I fish with each type of bait once in each location.
If you get lucky you may get all three items immediately or the first time through. Just the other night I caught all 3 items on my first 4 casts. But if you're not so lucky you may need to re-visit teh bait shack and again purchase 3 of each type of bait and continue the pattern of fishing once in each location with each type of bait.
Make sure you keep track of the items you do find (meaning the ring, wallet and the camera) because it will not notify you that the task is complete after you have caught the third item.

Black Belt - grow and prune a bonsai tree that was given to you by the sensei
This is actually easier than it sounds. The sensei will give you a poster showing what the bonsai tree should look like and there is a book in the bookstore entitled Caring for a Red Leaf Bonsai that also provides some helpful hints.
The tree will show at the bottom of the "My Place" screen below your trophies. The best advice I can give you here is to wait until it grows all three tufts of leaves before you even think about pruning it. That way you can ensure 100% that you have not over-pruned it. I would prune it once and visit the dojo to see if the Sensei says the tasks is complete. If she doesn't say it is complete prune again and re-visit the dojo. Be sure to not over-prune your tree or you will remove the tufts of leaves altogether.
It takes a few weeks for the tree to grow to the proper shape so don't despair if it seems like a slow process
