-Creating [[Free Gift Inventories]] consist primarily of deciding when players should be provided with them and what [[Resources]] they should contain. They are typically some form of [[Rewards|Reward]] but with some level of [[Randomness]] to avoid making other players being able to predict too easily when they should be possible receivers. Likewise, [[Randomness]] is often used so no players can predict what [[Resources]] will be the next possible gift.

 Given that [[Free Gift Inventories]] provide a way for [[Social Interaction]] with no direct negative consequences and no need real-time interaction, they are well-suited for [[Massively Single-Player Online Games]], [[Asynchronous Gameplay]], and any games with [[Casual Gameplay]]. Who can give gifts to whom is often regulated through [[Neighbors]].

-[[Free Gift Inventories]] is an example of [[Inventories]] used for [[Player-Decided Distribution of Rewards & Penalties]]. They make players into [[Producers]], and by giving them [[Empowerment]] in who should be the beneficiaries they may also provide them with an [[Exaggerated Perception of Influence]]. As long as the gifts are being given to other players, they are a form of [[Social Interaction]]. Although on the surface they allow players to perform [[Altruistic Actions]] and [[Cooperation]] they may carry the consequences of an implied [[Delayed Reciprocity]] and indirect [[Trading]]. This may even include [[Guilting]].

 From the players perspective, [[Free Gift Inventories]] make the [[Resources]] into [[Renewable Resources]] unless the [[Resources]] actually are limited and there is some [[Game Status Indicators]] revealing the numbers left.
