From time to time, gifts tied to a balloon will fly across your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Inside, you’ll find valuable items such as money, DIY recipes, and furniture.
How to Get a Flying Gift (Balloon) In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
To knock a gift out of the sky, you need a slingshot. You can buy a DIY scheme for this tool from little raccoon Timmy from when his workshop becomes available to you. Take the slingshot and then position yourself under the balloon. Hold down the A button and release it when the gift flies in the center of the screen. If you missed the shoot, change your position and try again.
Gifts in Animal Crossing: New Horizons fly across the island from the ocean side every 5-10 minutes, left or right. First, you should hear the sound of the wind, which indicates that the flying gift is near and then look for a shadow on the ground. Also note that if you hit a balloon over water, you will not be able to receive a gift.
